Digital camera reviews of ViewSonic PJ551D 2300 Lumen DLP XGA Projector

Digital camera Review: A great projector for the price
Summary: 5 Stars

The projector arrived quickly, and in one piece. It was very easy to set up (I didn't bother reading the instructions), and worked right away with my Mac (you do need a DVI-to-analog converter cable for Mac). The projected image is bright, with good colors and contrast. The set-up menu is easy enough to use, but does use some cryptic names for items. The only time I've needed the menu is to adjust keystone; all other settings default to what you want.

I've found that the bulb isn't quite strong enough to project a 5' x 5' image in full daylight in a room that has a lot of windows; we had to scoot the screen a little closer to the projector.

Be aware this projector (like most) doesn't have any sound. If you want to play DVDs, use a laptop computer and computer speakers (USB-powered is best -- no battery issues).

Finally, the projector comes with a very small remote control for accessing the menus & controlling the projector (you can do all that from the top panel of the project). The IR receiver for the remote is in the front of the projector, and seems to only work if you are almost directly in front of the projector. It doesn't work from the sides, and definitely not from the back. That's the only real flaw I've noticed after over a month's use.
