Since I commute between home, girlfriend and my work, and always have an Apple TVBox this, I have a short hand a projector so I searched everywhere can watch movies where I want.
The World Cup, we have looked at home on the terrace, invited friends and amused us delicious. Halt in the inner circle. After that we have seen films. Just the best.
For Beamer: I call that really mini. No Klotz. Fits into a small bag, which in a backpack with all the cables and you can take it wherever you need it straight. Will I continue to accompany you in my holidays because I was often on places where there is no TV was and in bad weather, the time was then not strike dead.
For projector:
-The 500 lumens are entirely sufficient, which can be seen at dusk or dark rooms. In daylight you have to play around in the settings slightly until you have something sensible. Are just only 500 lumens but that is completely sufficient for starters.
-The Connections pass me out completely. Instead able to VGA to DVI standard one would prevail. Since I only have only DVI and VGA have no more, I have to get me an adapter. Since I am traveling, I Operate it only on MAC, so need only one adapter dahher :-)
Also a HDMI is able to adequately connect to all new players / consoles.
The USB port is great. Man puts his files on a USB flash drive, closes it to the projector and you can play your presentations directly from the USB stick. Even movies and photos are abgspielt over here.
The component connection is not to ignore, here you can anschliesen older parts.
-The Menu is a breeze and clear. Everything understood immediately and the instructions not even touched.
In the menu are many Extensively settings that optimize the image at any time, either because you radiate a wrong on a wall Projected or back to the canvas.
Also the "power saving mode" is not bad. The darker is, the higher the energy saving mode. Alone in the minimum energy-saving mode you can hear the fan a little louder. But for that the part was not for few hours and continuous operation is not really warm.
The speakers are enough, but not outstanding. For home theater, ranging from not then stop. Therefore, you can connect speakers but through the 3.5mm Jack :-)
Is my first projector. But certainly will not be my last. Am looking for something stronger to have a clear picture even in daylight ...
Nevertheless, recommended who to look for a small projector will look in a darkened room movies or similar.
