ViewSonic 3600 Lumens SVGA High Brightness Projector for Home and Office with HDMI Vertical Keystone and 1080p Support (PA503S)

I bought this to watch outdoor movies and sports events on a big screen. The picture is great. I plug in a JBL Bluetooth speaker in with a small cable for extended loud sound and off we go. It will accept anything you plug into it (computer, HDMI, blue ray, video games, you name it). Just plug and go. We watched a kids movie in the basement the other night during a strong thunderstorm, the grandkids never knew it was storming. Indoor/Outdoor, this machine will be used a lot!

We recently covered our porch and had an old projector so we got the idea to use it on the porch.. set it up and while it did good it was only a 1200 lumen so the picture would get washed out even with just turning the lights on.. seeing it with any daylight was 100% impossible! Started looking for a new unit that would be brighter but didn’t want to spend a ton since it is outside (although covered). Purchased this one and it is unbelievable.. the picture while not true HD is hard to tell the difference and it looks great!! The brightness is awesome as well.. I’m literally sitting here at 3:00 in the afternoon on a sunny day watching it.. now is it washed out some? Sure but you can see it which is truly unbelievable.. once it gets 5:30-6:00 there is no issues at all! Great projector don’t hesitate to buy!!

Ok im sure many other reviews have all the specs you can read them from those im here to tell u it works as indicated. My pictures below are from an iphone 6s and in the dark it magnifies white light so the pictures do not reflect accurately with white light from the actual picture quality. The pictures come out in HD i have it just on a white painted wall so i can see a few spots where there were nail holes but its still amazing. The aquarium looks as if i have a giant one in my wall. The pictures u see here look much worse then the actual quality you will get but hopefully u get some understanding. The last 6 photos are with all my lights on. You can see the picture brightness is amazing. I know ppl need pictures to buy wish i could add more than 20. Everyone should have one of these. My projector is about 14 feet away from the wall. You can see my 3 22in. monitors below in some of the pictures. id say the screen is about 60-70inches. For 300 bucks this is far cheaper then an hd smart tv at this size. The projector sits on a camera tripod. The projector is much lighter than expected. Cant hear the fan at all. I have it right next to my bed and it has no noise, granted i have a 3.1 surround system around my bed that will envelope my hears with crsip sound of whatever i watch. Hope you all enjoy this as much as i do.

Im in love with my ViewSonic projector! I spent a lot of time researching projectors that would give me a great picture quality for backyard movie viewing. The ViewSonic PJD5155 projector did not disappoint. The image quality its adjustable for clarity as well as for angle adjustment. At night the picture quality is crystal clear. I havent seen the picture quality in the mid afternoon since here in California the heat is scorching and I dont plan on ever watching a movie under the hot California sun; I have, however turned on a movie outside at 6:00 when the sun hasnt gone down yet and the picture quality is still great. Obviously the picture quality isnt as crisp and clear on the afternoon as it is in the pitch black of night, but its still great. There is also a picture mode setting so that you can automatically adjust your projected image/movie with some preset picture modes. I have left pictures to show the quality on both settings. There is one HDMI port on the back which is great for connecting things like The Amazon Firestick, Apple TV, your computer, etc. There is also a micro USB port and an audio out port. The only thing this projector is missing is Bluetooth. I did work around the Bluetooth issue by connecting a Bluetooth transmitter device I purchased into the audio out port of the projector. The transmitter made it so that the audio could connect with my Bluetooth beats pill speakers. The internal speaker on the projector woeks well; but for movies I prefer something that can go louder than what the projector speaker can put out. An absolutely fantastic device that I would recommend for anyone wanting to create a movie theater ambiance at home, or for presentations. I think youll find that you will be equally as impressed with this projector as I am. My movie screen I made from scratch is 7 feet high by 10 feet long for anyone who is wondering. This image is pretty big and looks great.

WOW, this really worked great. I have been researching for "outdoor models" for at least 3 weeks, and to be honest, there really wasnt one good website that really explained how projectors work. Im still new to it myself, but we just had our 9 year old sons birthday party on Saturday, and the projector looked fantastic! It was bright enough to use it at 6pm (east coast), and looked brilliant at 8:30p and on. I was a little worried about the the light getting to hot, but the fan did its job and it never faltered! While I was researching, this model kept coming up on the list, and again, I was worried about brightness, resolution, how big I could get the picture, so I just kind of winged it and I couldnt be more happy! So heres my list of parts and extras that I bought. Of course, this model projector, a NIERBO 150 Inch Projector Screen (really only needed a 120 inch one), and a TaoTronics Bluetooth 4.1 Transmitter / Receiver, 2-in-1 Wireless 3.5mm Adapter. I built my own screen stand out of simple pine and a couple heavy posts. If youd like more info on that, feel free to email me at gtrodgers1@yahoo.com. The screen looked great and the picture was fantastic. The TaoTronics Bluetooth receiver was so I could use my large Bluetooth speaker for the audio. It was all very simple to set up, and the party went off without a hitch. My son and his friends had a blast playing Fortnite on the XBOX One on a huge screen. Nice work ViewSonic!

I have been researching a projector for hosting Fight Nights & sporting events without upgrading my 55" 4K TV which Im very happy with for everyday viewing .To get anywhere near 3000 lumens the prices where $700 to $1400. This projector is 3300 lumens and the picture is very compatible to my TV ( pictures enclosed to show comparison) The projector is mounted on a plant shelf 9 9" up and 17 from wall in family room to project 115" of viewing on a pull down movie screen that hangs over my 55" TV. I have a media box with a hdmi connection for movies & switch to an hdmi connection to my cable box for fights & sports. The sound is very decent and just basic sound. But for surround sound effect with base & loudness I connect my JBL portable speaker and the sound is amazing! You can watch in day time & lights on with the 3300 lumens but the lights off and night time watching awes everyone who comes over to my events! I am very impressed with price & picture so I decided to write review and hopefully help out with research. I totally recommend!

I decided to trade my 300 lumen pico projector for this one, and the difference is night and day! Obviously not as portable, but the image is so much better! I had no trouble setting it up and am using it with a FireTV stick plugged in the HDMI port. This is the perfect combination. The projector is very bright, and the high definition picture is a real treat. I barely hear the fan noise (I actually dont notice it when watching movies). Note that since the FireTV connects to my surround sound system via bluetooth, I didnt get a chance to test the speaker on the projector. I am so glad I traded portability for image quality given that the projector doesnt rever leave my media room. The projector is about 14 feet from the screen and fills it completely. Overall, a complete upgrade for less than 500$. Well worth it!

I ordered this budget model projector to use for outdoor movies and opted for the SVGA model. For the price point and the 3000+ lumens you cant beat this unit. I set it up on the recent full moon evening and was concerned that the ambient light might drown out the projector....but no problems. The unit is more than bright enough. I plugged in an Amazon Fire TV stick and was up and streaming movies with no problem. It has a micro-usb port so the stick plugged right in. The built in speaker is adequate on full volume but I bought a pair of Bose Companion 2 computer speakers and I only need about 20% volume to have nice sound (without bothering the neighbors).

Im still in awe that this projector was priced at the point where it was. Since buying a 120" outdoor HD screen Ive been searching for the right projector. After reading professional and consumer reviews I decided that this would be that projector and I couldnt be happier. The brightness is strong enough that I can use it, under our magnolia tree, during the day and the picture is crisp. Dont even get me started about using it at night. Its an amazing picture. I plug my Amazon Fire Stick into the HDMI port and away you go! (Be sure that you have a good wifi signal where you set up the projector.) The sound issue was simple; I have a decent computer speaker system that I dont use any more. It has a subwoofer and 2 normal speakers. I just plugged that into the sound out port and TaDa! It was almost like surround sound. A couple of additional point: If you have a mini-usb cord for your phone you can actually use this project to watch videos from that source. All in all, I couldnt be happier with this purchase. (Oh, and my friends are ecstatic, too.) Football season just took on a new life!
