Perfect Projector by CCTV on amazon.com Jun 18, 2012
After looking at many projectors we finally settled on this one because it was the best deal and seemed to have everything we were looking for. The projector is awesome! It is bright and vivid and the picture is large. We are a church so we have a lot ...
 
Solid choice! by TSG on newegg.com Feb 3, 2011
It's hard to find thorough reviews of business-type projectors. Everyone reviews home theater projectors, but 1600 lumens is not enough for use in business. I agonized over options from NEC, Mitsubishi, Infocus, and a couple others, but decided on ViewSonic. ...
 
This is a powerful projector by Seapride on bhphotovideo.com Jul 12, 2011
We use this projector to show video presentations on a large screen in semi dark rooms. We've used less powerful projectors that showed vague images that were washed out whenever someone opened a door to enter or leave. We are very happy with our purchase.
 
Great Product by Milton L. White on amazon.com Dec 31, 2011
I bought this projector for our lunch room at work. The lunch room is huge but this projector was up to the task even with all of the lights on. I will probably be buying a couple more for our conference room.
 
Great projector! by David Finton "It's me, Mario!" on amazon.com Sep 5, 2011
We needed an extremely bright projector at our church since we have a huge amount of ambient light and other bright stage lights in our sanctuary. This one does the trick! It's like looking at a TV screen even with all the other lights on when it shines on our projector screen!!!!!

We replaced a Sanyo PLC-XT11 with this projector. For the money, we were pleased with the product. The picture was bright and crisp. The colors were excellent. But after two weeks the projector started turning off during use (overheating) and after four ...
