Good projectorSeptember 25, 2009 Kwang Min Park 10 out of 12 found this review helpful
This projector is very good.
Especially, if you want to use this project in your room, it's perfect.
Recent trends in projector is reducing the size ans weight.
But due to the reduced size the contrast ratio and brightness is decreasing even though they are portable.
But this projector provides best quality brightness and contrast ratio, which means the resolution is great!!! Now, I connected this projector with my computer and home theater.
I highly recommend this item!!!!
Affordable Projection with Quality~February 28, 2010 D. Eisenman(Tacoma, WA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Optoma DS317 DLP Multimedia Projector lives up to its marketing materials. It is simple and easy to use, projects a clear image in small or medium-sized rooms and has the lumens to be seen in a moderately bright room. (I haven't tried it in a large hall yet). The price is fantastic for small business owners, teachers and others who have to operate on a tight budget, yet you still get more than you paid for. People who travel light may find that its 11"l x 8"w x 3.5"h size is a little large for them, however I found that it fits very well in a wheeled backpack-style carrier, fitting nicely right along with my laptop. A small downside, the projector relies on an "on-screen command" to adjust the size of the image on the wall rather than an easy to use slide or roller wheel. That is a small matter and not a big detractor. The lense cap has very small pronged clips and I wonder how long they're going to last. Let's end on a positive: the fan system is excellent and cools the projector quickly after power off.
This is a great multimedia projector and I recommend it for anyone with basic business and education projection needs. It may be great for entertainment and home theater, however I haven't put it through those paces. I suspect it would do quite well.
Very good projectorMarch 8, 2010 Bob Allen(WV) This is a good projector, especially for the money. It is bright (I had to turn the brightness down considerably even in a bright room to get the best color), has good contrast, good connectivity, is very quiet, and is easy to use. It has a keystone correction to adjust for distortion caused by aiming the projector up toward the screen. The remote is not especially sensitive - it pretty much has to be aimed right at the projector (front or back). It does include a laser pointer, and with a USB cable (not supplied), it can be used to control a computer as a mouse. Just to add a few notes to previous reviews: this particular model does not have a manual zoom control to fit the picture to the screen/wall. The zoom control is on the remote, which I did not find to be a problem. In fact, it can also be used to zoom in on a picture to show greater detail. The bad thing is that it will not quickly "un-zoom" (return to a preset position). In fact, the zoom is slow. Sharpness is very good, but it is not "High Definition." Therefore, if you use the video input, expect it to be like a very large TV with standard definition - a bit fuzzy. If you use it as a monitor with a computer, it is quite sharp. Also, if you use the video input for still pictures, you can get some annoying flickering. (Some devices only output a video signal.) I use it as a monitor with a netbook computer, and it works fine.
Excellent Price And QualityMarch 13, 2010 Julio Cesar Silverio This is a very good investment. I prefer this one rather than Epson. Good luminosity and great colors.
Ok projector for the moneyAugust 7, 2009 Mark(Chicago) 11 out of 12 found this review helpful
The good: Side vent, very bright, quite fan, easy menus, rapid shutoff. The bad: Can't adjust the size of the image, picture does not appear as crisp as my old HP VP6111. For the money, this is a nice projector. I don't believe the picture is as clear for TV and movie viewing. I compared it to my older HP projector and I thought my HP was clearer. I will check it again tonight. It should be good for powerpoint presentations.
