ViewSonic LS500WH 3000 Lumens WXGA LED Projector, Auto Power Off, 360-Degree Orientation for Business and Education

The BEST short throw projector on the market for the price!

So far, this is an excellance projector. Very clear words for worship.

I have had three different Epson projectors over the years, and this is the best projector by far that I have bought.

UPDATE: I've had this projector for only 5-months. It's used regularly for an hour or two each use, but not continually. In the last few days it shuts down after a few minutes of being on, then starts back up again. After it goes through this cycle a few times, it shuts down and stays off until I unplug it, let it sit for a minute and then use the remote to start it up again after I plug it in. I've contacted Customer Service to see what they can do, but I'm not holding out high hopes at this price point. ViewSonic is a good brand and I expected more, but it might just be that you just get what you pay for.I will update once I get this resolved with them.Original 5-star review:If you're looking for a simple projector with a good picture, you can't go wrong with this one. It's really bright (different sources say that it's either 2000 lumens or 3000 lumens, but it certainly seems like the latter), the colors are great and the resolution is all that you could ask for at this price point. The resolution is 1280 x 800, so not the "best" but not disappointing either. Although it has a cooling fan, it's relatively quiet and I can't complain about that. It has built-in speakers, but we don't use them in our installation. When I was installing the projector, the sound seemed pretty good and quite loud. It's fairly small and lightweight and would make a great portable projector for business presentations, etc.We use this at our church for projecting on the back wall for song lyrics, etc. and at about 10' from the wall, it's putting out about a 100" diagonal screen. Bright and clear! It has a small amount of zoom and is easy to focus. Setup was easy.ViewSonic makes good products and I am very pleased with this one. I would buy it again. I'm not expecting any, but if we have any problems with it, I'll update my review.

I put up my 100” outdoor screen inside my house and opened blinds for some light and the picture is the result. This thing is BRIGHT it’s only 2,000 ANSI lumens but it honestly looks like more to the naked eye. Well done ViewSonic. I will test in the actual outdoor environment with sunlight soon and update.
