ViewSonic PG707W Projector - WXGA w/4000lm, 1.21-1.57 T, PG707W (w/4000lm, 1.21-1.57 T Optical Zoom 1.3x, LAN, 2 x HDMI, VGA, Audi in/out, 10W Speaker, USB Type A)

I've had this projector for a little over a year, with almost 350 hours of use (according to the lamp life settings).I use it solely to watch video through the latest version of a fire stick. Having onboard usb power is great as it means I only have one power cable attached to it. I use it on a 100" screen and get full coverage on the screen. I use the audio of plug to connect to my stereo, as the built in speaker is OK at best.Pros: on board usb, speaker, very bright in my room. Easily watch films during the day with the blinds open (although we tend to black out the room for the best experience)Cons: there is a lot of light spillage around the screen. I don't notice it when watching anything, but you can see it when you first start it up. And the HD issue.HD issue... so I plugged in my sky box and got the high pitch squeal others have mentioned when watching an HD channel. Didn't matter what I do it won't go away. However! Watching full HD through Plex media server works great. I'm not sure where the problem lies, but direct source HD seems to be a problem, but streamed HD is fine.Overall, I would recommend this projector (even if it is £120 more than what I paid a year ago - wait until its mid £500s). Just watch your HD source.I've never had a problem with the remote, keystone correction, or zooming/focus.4 stars, as I can't watch Sky HD, but streaming is fine.

I purchased this because I lost the remote to my bedroom projector (wife is bed bound so we watch films on a 107" screen). My bedroom projector was one quarter of the price and had to be watched in complete darkness.This Viewsonic projector has extremely good keystone correction and the ability to move the corners out both vertically and horizontally to fit a screen properly. I have my Viewsonic on top of a wardrobe and over the bed cupboards where I use the table-top setting and keystone and corner correction to centre the picture on my screen. On the lowest possible setting this projector still shows a reasonable picture in daylight with the light coming from the side of the screen. On the best setting the picture is great in daylight and unbelievably brilliant in the dark. I prefer watching in the dark with a lower setting as this gives a longer lamp replacement time. This projector does 3D films. It is in the settings and works really good.I will say again IT PLAYS 3D FILMS ! through a 3D Blu-ray player, or a pc or any 3D device which can send a 3D signal to the projector. I mention it twice because I did not immediately see 3D in the settings and so emailed the customer support. They replied quickly via the phone and told me where to find the settings for 3D.Whilst it was 4 times the price of a cheaper LESHP brand it is more than four times the quality and features and customer support was fabulous.I will be purchasing another to replace the cheap Wimius projector that is in my lounge. I took advantage of Amazon's buy now pay monthly scheme, and will do so again when I change the lounge projector. Features can be seen either in the sellers write up or better still on their website. Even if it is not listed by Viewsonic it does do 3D but getting glasses may require waiting for them to be in stock or trying elsewhere (where they can be half the price;) ).

I had ViewSonic projectors before and they were great. This one however is really not worth the money.Picture quality is good, but very much darker than you'd expect. My previous ViewSonic, 4000 lumens, was bright enough to still see in a sunny church hall with 10 large south-facing windows. This one is just about bright enough to see in a dim room - about the same as the 10 year old Epson it replaced, which had only 3000 lumens.However, the biggest problem is that you can't use the projector for video, and plug the sound in any sort of sound system. It works if you use the built-in speakers, but otherwise, the moment you plug the HDMI cable in, it starts a very loud squeal. Some sort of feedback - you get it even just holding the HDMI cable in your hand and touching the laptop or the sound mixer. None of the suggestions on the ViewSonic website work, and judging by how many people have asked them the same question, it seems to be a very common problem. You can change cables, plug everything in a battery backup, whatever - the squeal doesn't stop.So, it's a middling projector for powerpoint, but completely useless for video - unless you want to listen to it through the tinny built-in speakers.

Does what it says on the box and does so well. Has nice image adjustment features that are easy to use and effective

Review for ViewSonic PG706HD Full HD.Overall I was disappointed with this projector.Pros -it’s nice and bright and has good colour, both when on full lamp setting.It’s quite quiet even when on full lamp power.Cons -It feels poorly made and constructed.Despite the spec stating the projector would throw 120 inches at 4 metres, I mounted the screen at 4.4 metres and could only get the screen to display at a maximum size of 104 inches!When you zoom the screen out to its maximum size with the turn wheel, it is then impossible to focus the screen to match.The horizontal keystone does not function on this unit, despite the keys being on the remote.There is a HORRIBLE light overlay around the physical display area. This is so irritating and seems very poor that the screen just doesn’t project to its entire light emitting area. This is not just the keystoned area, this is a full banner of unused light around the entire projected area.The unit REALLY struggles with any high motion footage which pretty much rules this out for sport.Overall.I wouldn’t recommend this projector, particularly as there are far better projectors available for a similar price.
