Review: No 3DTV? Sharp 3D projection and up to 15,000 hour bulb.
- If you want to watch blu ray 3D movies, you'll need compatible
DLP shutter glasses after connecting an HDMI cable from your blu
ray 3D Player (PS3 with update for blu ray 3D). On the projector,
there is not a mode to switch off the 3D effect to go into 2D, so
that will depend on each disc. If it's a 3D only disc, it's only
going to project with a double image that will require the DLP 3D
glasses. The cinema Real D 3D glasses don't work at all, I tried
it. For the image, I have it set at 100" or so, and the image
quality is solid. The image is sharp, though there is a screen
door effect when you look at the projected image closer and if
you hold your hand into the beam of light, you'll see it. But it
still looks great. This is like having a movie theater in your
home! While this has a speaker built into it, the sound has no
bass and distorts at higher volume, with quiet volume even at the
loudest setting. There is a 3.5 mm audio Jack OUTPUT that you can
plug into the Viewsonic Projector that will allow you to connect
any Computer based speakers that use a headphone jack to project
the audible sound. Once it's plugged in, it happens
automatically. I listed with headphones on, and the quality is
much better than the built in speaker. Will be trying a more
powerful bass speaker set up soon. My biggest complaint is the
Menu and remote controller menu. I want SUPER ECO MODE so I can
get 15,000 hours instead of 5000 hours in Normal mode. That would
be 7250 two hour movies that you can watch before the bulb dies
out. That's incredible. But the ONLY way I can get it to stay in
Super Eco Mode for the slightly dimmer bulb setting (which by the
way still looks great with bright whites and nice darkness), is
to go into the settings, switch to that mode and then press EXIT
on the remote. If you press Menu, adjust the volume, or any other
input, it will automatically switch back to NORMAL 5000 hour mode
due to terrible programming. And if the input blu ray film is
switched, it also switches back to normal mode without you even
doing anything. It's ridiculous and 2/5 stars because of it for
something so critical to making the projector bulb last 15000
hours as advertised. The box packaging this arrives in is strong
and sturdy and well protected. The instructions however, are just
pictures, so they are pretty much useless and I figured out the
buttons and set up on my own. So in other words, just a "quick
start up guide" instructions that are very lacking. Overall
though, I'm very happy and thrilled with this new movie
projector. You can also play PS4, PS5, PS3 games on it if you
want, as well as regular blu rays, DVDs, and blu ray 3Ds. I
haven't tried a UHD disc yet, but the resolution may be affected
since this outputs 1280 x 800 aspect ratio depending. Test out
the best angle and set up for where you'll project your image. I
project it right onto my light cream colored wall and it's
perfect. I love it! With TV Manufacturers opting for 4K and 8K
these days, they completely abandoned the 3D feature even though
there are still studios releasing new 3D blu rays. So this
ViewSonic is a very affordable alternative for your blu ray 3D
player to display 3D films (compared to the $1000 to 2000+
models).
Review: Beautiful image quality - We had a ViewSonic before this
one, and it lasted nine years, during which we watched at least a
move twice a week, and I also surfed to watch a lot of YouTube
videos. We loved our old ViewSonic, and we love this new one,
too. The colors on the projection screen are crisp, luminous and
warm at the same time. My husband got it out of the box and
between the moment he called up to me to ask "how about a movie"
and my finishing up whatever I was doing and walking down to join
him, he had the machine out of the box and hooked up. It was that
easy. We use a laptop with a DVD player in it to play movies. The
only thing left to do now is to unscrew the old one and put the
new one on the ceiling bracket. We also hooked up the external
sound system in no time. I want to mention that we tried several
LED lighted projectors of different price ranges before coming
back to buy this one, as we hoped LED would be a more energy
friendly choice. Turns out the colors on the LED lit ones were
horribly cold, mostly in the blue/black range and also all of
them had terribly loud fans systems on them, both criteria on
which we don't want to make concessions. We like to hear the
soundtrack without straining our ears to filter out the noise of
the cooling system. This ViewSonic is quiet and I cannot say
enough of its awesome colors. We both are very pleased with our
new projector and look forward to years of entertainment. If you
like my review and found it helpful, thanks for letting me know!
