Compaq Mini AV LED Projector from buy.com and X10 receiver and Transmitter Review

[pyronathanpyro]

its ace

[nrpg03]

what is the distance from the projector to the wall?

[ranjeesh]

@nrpg03 between 6 to 8 feet

[imafurryhusky]

Can i have your voice please i wanna become a comedian.

[MrFlyingDogg]

How many lumens does that thing have?

[ranjeesh]

@MrFlyingDogg it was around 10 - 50 ANSI lumens. Yup thats rite 10-50 ANSI lumens..thats why it was so dull...

[newstream2010]

You should have turned off the light....I bet it looks crispy in the dark!

[ranjeesh]

@newstream2010 Lights were all turned off during the day and i tried the same during night but was not too bright :|

[zammykid]

Hey, Everybody! I Got The Same Projector. It's Only Going To Be Dull If You Use That Crappy X10.com Reciever. Thats Making The Signal Not Get Through As Well. If You Plus The Computer Straight Into The Projector It Will Be 10 Times Brighter Then That! If You Wanna Do It Wirelessly The Your Going To Have To Use A Reciever That Costs Approximatly $200 (£130). Its Much Better Quality!

[ranjeesh]

@zammykid The projection was same when I used both the receiver and direct connection. The brightness (or dullness) cannot get effected by the wirelessness :P only quality / resolution effects....

The projector can ofcourse be used without a wireless transmitter but I dont think any change in quality should be expected.

[zammykid]

@ranjeesh Sorry. Must Just Be My Xbox Being Better Quality Or Somthing. Also If You Notice... The Wii Is A Better Screen Quality Than The PC Even Though The PC View Is Hard To Judge As There Was light.

[ranjeesh]

@zammykid Yup the quality is better during the night times or dark rooms thats what I concluded as far as I remember...the wii display is also dull coz it was during day time...its much better during night but still eyestraining

[jinzi9999]

God, thisPj really has a very very low brightness, How can it be used at home?

Toy, expensive toy!

[jobiaan]

haha projectorrrr

[sethmccord100]

FUUUUUUUUNNN(you really sound like your having fun...)

[netofujarte]

...Can you use a tripod for it?

[ranjeesh]

@netofujarte I dont remember any tripod option available in it.

[metallerium]

you have much light there or is really that projector dont hav much power....

[ranjeesh]

@metallerium This projetor has very bad brightness...I had everything off in the night time ..but still too dull..very stressful to the eyes...

[GDMrecords]

what kind of cable do i use to connect to my laptop please? and thank you

[ranjeesh]

I had a very complex setup for connecting to the laptop. I would suggest going for some other projector if you plan to connect computer so that it is simple. You can connect the laptop or pc but its very complex and needs buying of lot of equipment.

[ranjeesh]

I dont remember but it can go till 52" I think with visible quality.

[fvckUb1tch]

lol...come on ranjeesh. You sold it coz it was a piece of crap...correct? You're too nice man :-)

I'm pretty sure compaq wont mind the review..

[ranjeesh]

:P Thats true...I sold it coz it wasnt that good..the next one was good though...i.e. 3M Mpro110 ..thats also in my videos :D

[TheBartBuddies]

do you have VGA

[ranjeesh]

you mean in this projector? I think it doesnt...

[blackstones83]

i love ur accent lol

[TheBartBuddies]

@blackstones83 SHIT YOU

[JoeVSvolcano]

eBay is selling the next gen of this LED Projector which is twice as bright but for next gen prices unfortunately (400)

[ranjeesh]

@JoeVSvolcano Oh is it..can u post a link to any one of those...:)

[juvi427]

Great video. I was trying to figure out how big your screen was and I figured its almost 70" diagnal if its 16:9 and 75" if in 4:3 ratio. I asumed your door was as wide as mine 30" and it looked like your screen is about twice length across as your door. Thats a good size screen for $150. If you've got a tape measure and can confirm that would be awsome. Thanks for posting your video. Most informative one I could find for this projector.

[ranjeesh]

Sorry I dont have this projector anymore to measure it but it gives 60-65".

[juvi427]

How far back was the projector from the wall? Also if you don't mind me asking, why don't you have it anymore?

[ranjeesh]

I sold it to buy a more compact one....

[djharry28]

sorry to say but i have this projector and i got it to 98 inch, it was a bit pixalated but for the best size 65 inch is the best.

[ranjeesh]

Hahaha..no need to be sorry for this

[djharry28]

no, i mean sorry because you were wrong...you said "it goes up to 53 inch like ist says on the website."

[ranjeesh]

@djharry28 Oh...

[Rodrigovgo]

Awesome video! Thank you very much Ranjeesh!

[ranjeesh]

u r welcome

[jonh1171995]

hey i recomend u remove the strap on the top of the wii case when gaming i have one and i have noticed that it will heat up 2 times faster in the carry case

[ndhudecz]

Thanks for the post

[RET80]

I'm sorry to say, but compaq did NOT make this.

[ranjeesh]

Yeah I know but when I bought it they said it was Compaq..

[TITOODJX]

sir, which is cheap n best led projector ? my room is 16 fee / 14 feet. my budget under is $200

[ranjeesh]

@TITOODJX 3M Mpro110 is a good one.. Check my other videos for more infomation on that. Its a small nice cheap projector.

[TheMachinimanator]

can i see a movie being played? like a pixar film, then a cartoon, then a regular "light movie" then a "dark movie" to see a comparison with the camera still while the films play? whats the resoluton of this projector? 640x480 or 320x240?

[ranjeesh]

I am sorry! I cant do any more comparison videos for this projector coz I dont have it anymore. I dont rmeber well but I think it was 640x480

[peveyboy]

gud choice of music with the daftpunk but i m going to look into that unit thoe cause something like that is just what i m looking for

[mototking]

If I played Call of duty at 50 inches in a pretty dim room, how much detail could i see of the game, Or would it be blurry

[ranjeesh]

@mototking If you are hardcore gamer and like ultimate grpahics this is definitely NOT what u want!

[mototking]

Ok, and do you see any patterns on the display like squares or dots. Should i get this one or the 3M mpro 110

[ranjeesh]

@mototking I would say the 3M is better...its a 720p display with no pixelated display..the Compaq one i.e. this one has pixels display

[mototking]

Ok cool, Is the 3M brighter. would i be able to use it in a sorta dim room

[ranjeesh]

@mototking Yeah its brighter than this one..and even more portable and also has battery..what s ur budget for a projector...u can get an awesome projector for < $299 from Dell.

[mototking]

I had a budget of $200

[ranjeesh]

3M is $169. go for it..

[mototking]

What is the highest resolution, And if im a hardcore gamer is this good for me

[ranjeesh]

800x600 only is the max..As I mentioend earlier for being a hardcore gamer u should buy a better projectore for 399 or 499.. This one will give u low resoultion output but can have a BIG screen...for 299 or less max resolution is 1024x768

[15Reading]

Do you think that you could make a quick video of the projectors quality at night in the dark, if not, is the picture much better in the dark than the video that you have posted.

Thank!!!

[ranjeesh]

Oh yes! it is much better in the dark!

[LilacM00n]

I <3 a happy Ranjeesh!

[ranjeesh]

Thank you :)

[davidbmullis]

awesome song holy balls thats awesome

[iksobarg]

dude, you are awesome for posting this review!! thanks!

[willy101010]

how clear was the picture at 50 inches? was it very pixelated or blurry? if it was night with the lights off, how is the brightness? can u adjust the lens manually? any adjustable stand for it?

thnx and great review!

[ranjeesh]

50 Inches its kinda blurry and dull!

In the nights with the lights off its good enough to watch for some time but if wathvcned for more than 2 hours your eyes might get strained!

Focusing can be done with manually nothing else.

You may get a tripod for it but u have to buy it seperately.

[TED5165]

Cool, any plans to shoot another video? Where its possible to get it darker?

[ranjeesh]

No Plans!

[Gabshizel]

but why dont you show is in the dark? i can know the quality better

[ranjeesh]

I couldnt make it any darker coz it was day time and that the darkest it can get with our blinds

[Gabshizel]

I can tell your really happy with you wii

[ranjeesh]

Oh Yes I love it very very much :)

[TrackSleepyWeather]

on a scale of 1 to 10 how would u rate the picture quality?

[ranjeesh]

I would rate it 6 out of 10 because it works ok in the dark but doesnt work any good in the bright area.

[evansjjjj]

using the X10 transmitter...lol

[seenu999]

nice...demo....i will be there for watch movies...

[yvreetesh]

Thats a really neat setup! That X10 Wireless receiver is really useful :D No need to move things when using the projector!

The projector also looks great! Thats some great stuff for that price!
