ViewSonic4000 Lumens WXGA High Brightness Projector for Home and Office with HDMI Vertical Keystone (PA503W)

If you’ve ever bought one of those cheap temp-brand projectors here, you’ll know that they do not last and they’re not very bright.This projector, on the other hand, is high quality. It’s a known brand, and it shows with this projector. The brightness is top-tier. The image quality is great.I spent too much time researching, and if you’re reading this and wondering why you might spend more money, it’s for the quality, quiet fan (especially on Eco mode), and a nice remote that works well. Get this one if you want a projector that is bright and will last.

Wanted a projector bright enough to be visible in a south facing room with lots of windows before sunset. We had an older projector that wasn't usable until it was dark out and the lights were off.This one is so much brighter - visible even in late afternoon with the sun blazing into the giant wall of windows.Setup was easy, and the dial for sizing and the focus ring are super easy to use. Picture is sharp and clear.Unit is silent.Recommended for a reasonably priced projector.

I will be projecting in a couple of weeks in a dining hall where the entire west end is a glass wall (with no shades or curtains), so there is a lot of ambient light - especially after our noon lunch!I received the projector, unboxed it (it was well packed, including two batteries for the remote), powered it up and was rewarded with a nice bright display. (After powering up, wait about 20 seconds for the full brightness. Also - you can make it even more bright and increase contrast and sharpness through the on-screen menus.)Very basic adjustable feet allow fairly limited vertical/tilt movement of the projector. You may need to use books or other objects if you need it aimed more upwards or downwards.Keystone corrections worked well. At different vertical angles of the projector, I was able to use the digital keystoning to get the image squared up with no problems. (I use a portable projector stand which allows me to pan and tilt the stand and projector easily.)Optical zoom and focus worked well - I tested and got about a nice 9-foot-wide display on a screen with the projector located about 15 feet back from the screen. Based on my very quick and rough testing, for about every 3 feet of horizontal displayed data on the screen, you need the projector to be about 5 feet from the screen.I used an HDMI connection to my laptop as the source, and got very good, clean and sharp displays.Back to the brightness - I tested this in our dining room at 1 PM where the entire wall behind the projector was glass with no drapes or other shading, and the weather was clear and very sunny. The picture was quite clear and definitely bright enough for my audience in a couple of weeks.I am keeping the box, as it is a good size for carrying the projector - otherwise I would need to get a padded bag to carry it.The projector itself is quite light and easy to pull out of the box one-handed and set on the projector stand or table.

My dad needed something in his office to be able to project from a laptop with clients. I almost went with a cheap projector but then after a little research I realized I would need a more expensive one so he could project with the lights on. I found this, and from photos and reviews it looked perfect. Especially the part that says, "Packed with 3,600 lumens and a high contrast ratio, this projector produces bright images in nearly any environment." However .... it just doesn't really work how we need it to. When the lights are on you can see the picture, but it is too faint. With the lights off this projector is beautiful. Sadly, that's not what it is needed for.Even worse, I went through the trouble of ordering a tripod projector screen, projector stand, laser pointer, etc. And now they all have to be returned. I think he will be better off just connecting his laptop to a TV through HDMI so that it will be clear, bright, and not faint with the lights on.If my apartment wasn't so small I would love to have this to project movies on the wall! Also super cool is from other reviewer's photos where they project movies outside. So all in all, this is an amazing projector. Except that it cannot show clearly with the lights on. From the description I thought that would be possible. Since it can't do what I need it to do for my dad I have to return :(

For the price, the quality is amazing. We use this for our home theater. It casts about 16 ft to fill a 110 inch screen. The HD is good, with vibrant colors. The refresh ratio is a little on the slow side for modern equipment, but only noticeable if you are looking for that specifically. All normal watching it's not a big deal. I do find that reds are a little off. Seems to have a brightness to them that other colors don't do. I've had this for 6 years and haven't had an issue yet. We don't have to go the theater anymore since we have one at home. Even better we have a pause button. Take that AMC lol

This projector is amazing and totally lives up to our expectations! We originally tried a $200 cheap projector, but it was incredibly dim, worse than our 20-year-old BenQ. So we returned it. Then we got this one, and the difference is like night and day. It may not be as “smart” as some of the cheaper ones and took a bit of effort to set up, but once we figured everything out and found the perfect spot, I couldn’t be happier. 4000lumens is no joke! The picture is bright and clear. We can finally enjoy movie nights, even with the lights on!
