[tpatterson0]

how much for the Projector Screen i have the same one but i need the screen

[DigitalBeatsMX]

rich people. has a 42 inch screen tv and still buys a projector.

[us4tech]

Thanks, no one has a review of this yet, soyes le premier!

[donkeyykong]

it looks better if you turn the brightness up. the reason i bought this is so i could play every nes game on my hacked wii. it's awesome. and fun. i beat super mario bros on that and the quality isnt bad for 8-64 bit games. doesnt work that well on 360 games. but still playable. buy one. their awesome

[lewisstretch]

I bought one 2 weeks ago and the speaker went out. I took it back, exchanged it, had this one for almost a week and the bulb blew. This product was on sale for $75 when i bought it and the salesperson was trying to sell me a $20 1-year replacement warranty. I'm taking it back and getting my money back. Period! The product is trash.

[jlstinett]

i bought it today and all that happened was that the buttons flashed and thats it? what am i doing wrong?

[infinitumpatata]

mmm shame it looks pretty dark and i was thinking in buying it

[KamikazeProd]

this thing is such a fail if its too big, i have one. for the price its okay, but its not really for having a huge screen, its for being portable, which it serves pretty well.

[zumbamom610]

I heard this has a built in speaker. But can we choose NOT to use those and stick to using our TV entertainment speakers while watching a game on TV??

( I'm not very techy!) Thanks!

[djrunner123]

@zumbamom610 yes you can continue to use your home theater surround sound. just plug the audio inputs "the white and red" into the back of your surround receiver.. hope this helps

[MrLegacy619]

how many inches does this go up to and if this is better the the torpedo thanks

[MrLegacy619]

which 1 is better the torpedo projector or this 1 and how many inchez does this 1 go for the best quilty

[OZPerpetue]

@MrLegacy619 40'' for best quality, 90'' mac, but i projected it to a 125'' wall and it was still visible, and i mean visible only, you could not even distinguish colors correctly, but at the 40'' resolution its actually very good (for the price).

Note this is a projector for watching movies/tv, i would not use it to play videogames, unless you are playing a supernintendo

[sammycut1]

I have this, and it's not bad. I find that it's a tad dim, but my biggest issue is that the picture looks kind of blurry when I try to project too big.

How big is your projected picture? I find anything under 50 inches looks great...then it kind of goes down hill from there.

[rastalibra]

can you plug a computer from a vga to rca projector?

[mrappreviewer7]

@rastalibra With the correct adaptors, but with included cords, no.

[MrLegacy619]

@mrappreviewer7 how many inches does this go up to

[iansabaw]

@mrappreviewer7 what sort of adapters do i need to project my pc with a vga and hdmi adapter?

[s61927]

hey i just bought mine like 4 weeks ago i used it ones and i put it away

but now is not turning on. just wondering do u think u might know wats wrong with it

[compguy248]

@s61927 That happened to me, I replaced the bulb and it works fine again. The bulb it comes with is crap and does not last long.

[adansito777]

@compguy248 how much do bulbs cost & where can i find them? 

[compguy248]

@adansito777 I haven't replaced mine for over a year now, I don't remember how much they cost. I remember it being very inexpensive, maybe $15. I bought mine at Lowes, but you can use any M-16 bulb that you purchase from nearly any hardware store. I recommended using at least a 75 watt bulb.

[omegasignas]

@adansito777 bulbs for them are a standard 50 watt 12 volt halogen bulb, type: MR16

[TheGuywithecamera]

omg i got riped off i bought it for $100 at bestbuy shoulda known i was gona get ripped off from bestbuy!

[johnreese12010]

if i was to replace the 50w bulb it came with, with a 75w. would that make the picture look better? when im watching a movie or playing a game with the projector.

[1KissTheSky]

Hey, do you know what to do if the screen just remains blue?

i've never tried mine out until today ans the screen is just blue :( but the sound works. .

Ahh if you can, please help.

[maxpower14843]

i got one today the quality is ok and i agree the av inputs are in a horrible spot

[superchivo26]

just purchased one at Marshalls for 49.99.... great for the price!!!

[mrappreviewer7]

@superchivo26 cool

[znakedsnake]

@superchivo26 I bouth it @ ross today for 29.99, not too bad huh?

[TheJanjy]

omg me 2!!! creepy

[chriswebbful]

the MR-16 lamp that it uses is a standard in the interior lighting industry and can be purchased at

any Lowes or Menards for around 5 bucks. Furthermore, the ones available at hardware stores are far higher quality

lamps! The replacement I got was a 75 watt (25 watts brighter than the factory lamp) Feit Electric flood reflector

with covered glass.

[b33k3rz]

is there any input lag? controller to projector lag?

[mrappreviewer7]

no but i took it back anyway

[splintereffect]

@mrappreviewer7 

[splintereffect]

Respond to this video...  is that the stock bulb or upgraded?

[greenjedimonkey]

this product is a joke. i had it for a couple days and returned it. even at 6 feet, the quality is still awful. worse resolution than my old CRT TV. i bought it for $50 and i still feel like i got robbed. i dare you to find a worse projector at any price.

[RAWRAWRWAR]

good projector for the money

[pablou666]

where I can buy this in europe?

[RAWRAWRWAR]

yes

[guitarocker69607]

the reason it sucs in this case is it isnt supposed to be any farther than 6 feet away

[mattbenluke]

i got one and returned it cause i wasnt very immpressed

[WAKExxUPxxAMERICA]

ya quality isnt that impressive. not bad tho. thx 4 the review

[Ipodtouchkid8]

That is a cool projector for its size
