  1. Great product

    Amazon
    10/10
    Reviewer: Parry PT Group, Amazon
    14 February 2011

    This product was just what we were looking for. It fit the bill and came quickly and in great condition. It was exactly what it was advertised to be and we've been able to use it with very little trouble with set up and preparation. Easy to use and great for taking to meetings at locations outside our office. Great interaction with the seller when we had questions. Read more

  2. The PJ503D has a contrast that overcomes light in a very smart package.

    The image on the PJ503D is one of the clearest images you can get in a well priced projector. It holds it's own against any projector on the market. Hook it to your computer in seconds and to another video source and you will see a crisp image often better than the signal itself. It could use a manual zoom for easier placement but you make that up in portability. Hands down this is a quiet and simple projector to set up. Read more

    Personal Experience I was looking for a very inexpensive projector to use in the basement for kids to watch videos. I found this one on Ebay, it was brand new in unopened box. I been using it now for several week after Christmas and I couldn't be more pleased. The image is very bright and clear. In fact, the image quality is still very high even with light shining into room. Read more

  4. Decent projector for a good price

    This is my first personal projector. I have used many projector before at work which are all expensive and high end machines. This one is a good low end projector and hence I do not complain a whole lot about the zoom absence in this model. For < $499, this is a great value for money. The S-video, RCA, and VGA support make it my favorite since I can connect it to my computer, my portable DVD player, my DVD player, and other devices too. Read more

    • Price, size, easy to use, S-video/RCA/VGA support, multi mode support
    • No zoom, flimsy height/angle adjuster, No cables except VGA, poor documentation

    . First of all equipment is light and easy to set up. Plus, It gives me a feeling of being in my own movie house. Digital cable is wonderful. The only downside is that you need a home stero system with an aux setting, but then you have great sound. No really expensive sound surround system needed. Its fun and easy to use. I was looking at plasma and HD TVs and couldn't handle the price. This was much better and now anything that used to watch for TV is absolete. Read more
