Absolutely fantastic product! Large

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2016

Style: 800 ANSI lumensVerified Purchase

Absolutely fantastic product! Large, clear display. Easy to connect wirelessly using Windows 10 devices and a Microsoft Display Adapter cable. I use the projector as a computer screen for work. For this purpose, the projected screen size must be a little smaller, to get the clarity and sharpness needed for reading and editing text. For watching movies, I can pull the projector back and enjoy a much larger display. I've figured out how to direct the audio to other speakers, while still sending the video wirelessly to the projector. That means I can enjoy better audio from my stereo speaker system. Overall, awesome product! I thoroughly enjoy using it.

Small, good image quality, - but quite loud.

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2015

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

The Viewsonic PLED-W600 is a solid entry into the portable LED DLP market, but it's not without a few issues.

Pros:

1.) Really small, at 6.9" x 2" x 5.4", 1.74lbs. Easy to throw into a bag with the included soft case.
2.) Comes with a small remote for the (few) adjustments you can make.
3.) Powers on instantly. I have a Sony home cinema projector (VPL-HW50ES) which takes a minute to power up, the lamp to brighten etc. The Viewsonic PLED-W600 is on in a blink of an eye. Push the power button, and - there it is: your image, at full brightness. LEDs = instant on, instant brightness.
4.) Powers off instantly, too. As with many (all?) projectors, the power button (either on the remote or the unit itself) needs to be pressed twice to power the unit off. This is more of a necessity on lamp-based projectors since the manufacturer wants you to be sure you want to put your projector through another heat/cold cycle. On these LED-based projectors, I'm not sure that functionality is needed anymore...
5.) Image quality is very good at native resolution. I didn't notice any oddities with text or pictures when connected to my Dell Inspiron i3148-6840sLV 11.6-Inch 2 in 1 Convertible Touchscreen Laptop (Intel Core i3 Processor, 4GB RAM) with the included HDMI cable.
6.) For giggles, I loaded up a movie to see how it would fare, and surprisingly - it did pretty well. Quite a satisfactory image, and audio was piped through the Vewsonic's speaker. I wouldn't recommend using the on-board speaker for movie audio, but it certainly works in a pinch.
7.) 30,000 hours life, which is excellent.
8.) Easily fills an 80" image size with reasonably controlled lighting.
9.) Features a tripod mount for location flexibility.

Cons:

1.) The unit has two small fans on the side, and... they're quite loud. They run from the second you turn the projector on, as expected, and they ramp up immediately to quite a volume, easily heard in a quiet room from 20 feet away. The fans need to run fast as you can feel the heat they expel. A search through the options revealed a "High Altitude" mode (standard on projectors), and with that enabled the fan noise is of course even louder - reminding me of a screaming child. Not pleasant. Thankfully I live close to sea level.
2.) Slightly noticeable electrical noise when a signal is passing through the projector. If you have to sit near the projector, you might notice this, depending on your sensitivities to coil whine.
3.) No manual/analog zoom adjustment (just a focus wheel on the projector itself). You move the projector back or forward in the room to set image size.

Overall, this is a solid, if unremarkable projector. The biggest downer has to be the noise it makes, which is perhaps unsurprising: Small devices have small fans, and small fans can be quite noisy when pushed hard. If it weren't for this drawback, this would be a highly recommended projector. But as it is...

4 stars out of 5.

Style: 800 ANSI lumensVerified Purchase

Purchased this projector and after 2 uses in 2017 it broke (would not power up). Called Amazon - they sent out a replacement because it was covered under warranty. The same model was shipped to my office last year on January 8th, 2018, it was used twice. Go to power it up yesterday and this time the projector powers itself off after 1 minute. Not a reliable product.

Great resolution, good in subdued light, but majorly flawed

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2015

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )

This projector is small, has a great 720p resolution, a built-in speaker, and decent brightness in a subdued-lighting setting. However, I feel it has a major flaw, even for an "ultra-portable" projector that unfortunately really detracts from everything good about it. Therefore, I'll start there.

The only way to control the size of the image on your projection surface is based on the distance from your projection surface. Want the image smaller? You need to move it closer. Want it bigger? You need to move it away. There's no control on the projector that allows you to alter the size of the projection image from a fixed projector position. This is problematic for an "ultra-portable" projector. Depending upon the image size you need or desire, you will need to position the projector at exactly a specific distance from the projection surface, so you will need to make sure you have a table (or tripod) available to accommodate that need. This also is complicated by the length of the power cable, which will need access to a power outlet, and the HDMI cable needed to connect the projector to your device. This may or may not be convenient. In my experience, I have found it incredibly inconvenient. The end result is that you'll need to position the projector in an inconvenient location, use an extension cord, and make sure you have a long-enough HDMI cable (or a wireless solution) to connect to your source device.

My other complaint is that the projector only supports HDMI. While this is incredibly common, it is also very short-sighted. I also have an HDMI dongle that allows me to connect wirelessly from my phone or laptop, but if you are using a device with something other than HDMI, you are out of luck.

From an image perspective, however, I have been quite pleased with the image quality, with one caveat. This projector is only 600 lumens, so it is not very bright. In a subdued-lighting or dark room situation, it is great. However, in a room with ambient daylight or other lighting that can't be controlled, 600 lumens isn't enough to cut through the light. Therefore, this is just another potential issue which affects whether you can use this in a specific location as a portable projector.

All of that said, the image quality is decent, and very good at 720p. For fast moving images, such as video, there is no ghosting or other image artifacts. It has a very good response and the image is always perfectly synchronized to the audio. One thing to keep in mind is that it will resize a laptop image to 1280 x 800, so your desktop will rescale accordingly. This is a bit jarring if you are using a very high resolution on your laptop.

The projector has preprogrammed modes that adjust image quality based on content, adjusting brightness, contrast, and color automatically.

It features an auto-keystone feature -- which can be turned off -- so that the projector will automatically adjust the "keystone" of the image when you tilt the front of the projector up at an angle not perpendicular to your projection surface. In nearly every instance, I've found this to be very accurate, and have never wanted to turn this feature off.

The built-in speaker, rated at 2 watts, is quite useful, and much better than I expected. For video with dialog, it is actually quite clear and perfect for a small room with little background noise. It also features a 3.5 mm output so you can connect to headphones or another sound system.

There is a USB port, but on this model, it can only be used for charging another device. You cannot use it present documents from a USB drive. It provides sufficient power to charge a tablet or to power an HDMI dongle for video presentations, when such a dongle requires an external power source.

The remote control is handy, and has several dedicated buttons that fortunately prevent you from having to access the somewhat confusing settings menu. One button is clearly labeled "My Button", which you can assign to a particular function -- such as changing the resolution, for example.You can also control the speaker volume, the keystone, the color mode presets, and the audio mode presets. It also allows you to access some digital features, such as the ability to zoom and freeze the image.

This is an ultra-portable, and isn't meant to serve as a "home theater" solution. It definitely isn't bright enough for that under normal viewing conditions. However, if you need a projector that you want to use occasionally in multiple rooms or at various locations, this would probably work well for you.

Great in theory but fails in practice

Reviewed in Canada on July 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great in theory but fails in practice. The first one would not project anything except it's own menu. Would not detect any input. Had to return it. Got the replacement, which worked fine about 5 times (over the span of 6 months). Now i'm at a conference and the thing won't turn on! No orange light, not green light, no life. Total usage = 20 hours. Despite the frustration, i'm now stuck with no projector at a conference. Given that two of them failed so badly, I am certain there is a design flaw. I would not buy again, but unfortunately have no choice since it's past Amazon's return period.

A great little box of tricks

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 13, 2015

Style: 800 ANSI lumensVerified Purchase

I was on the lookout for a small, portable projector and already having a ViewSonic Product and being more than happy with that (VX237 23" IPS HDMI Monitor) i thought i'd give this a go and I'm so glad i did. Straight out of the box, set up was simple and the clear on-screen menu was a breeze to navigate through. The brightness and quality of the picture is really impressive and better than expected. I hooked up my Chromecast with no problem at all, my kids love our movie nights and we're going to try one outside too... a bonus of the great portability aspect. The Xbox works like a charm too, FPS and racing games are amazing! I also lent it to a pal who's a musician. He projected some visuals as a backdrop when he was playing a gig which we preloaded onto a USB stick... he was impressed with the quality and ease of use too! Sound quality isn't too bad, what you'd expect really from the built in speakers but would really benefit from additional speakers as some other reviewers have mentioned. All in all I am over the moon with this and would recommend this to anyone wanting and efficient, user-friendly, portable solution for their needs. Well done ViewSonic!
