[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.

[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

[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!

[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.

[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

[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
