Performance of projector in a well-lighted room??? Epson MovieMate 60 Portable Projector, DVD and music player combo (V11H319220) How does this product do when the room is well lit?

Look at the screen or wall you'll be projecting onto, under the expected lighting conditions. Does it look white and bright? That's exactly how dark the darkest blacks are going to be. In other words, yes, even a very expensive, very bright projector will give you a washed out image in full daylight. That may be borderline acceptable for a business presentation, but definitely not for watching movies. The best use for this projector would be for backyard/poolside/campground nighttime showings, where the portability and easy setup are paramount and lighting conditions not an issue. If you need a projector for laptop presentations, get a more recent, compact model designed specifically for this purpose (small size, high lumen, high resolution)

I've never used the projector over it's maximum distance, but it has worked very well in medium sized conference or meeting rooms. It is bright enough that the room need not be totally darkened. Low lighting in the room still allows for a clear picture on the screen.

I just got this exact projector model earlier this year so have not had it long enough for the lamp to be an issue. But, the projector works wonderfully in the picture is terrific better than my last projector. On these projectors many times you'll see warnings to replace the lamp but you don't have to. My last projector lamp lasted over 15,000 hours before it blewso I wouldn't replace it unless your picture has gotten poor or till it actually burns out

I should work just fine. The new lights on it work amazingly well even during daytime. I do recommend it. The fan is a bit noisy though at full power but most projectors are noisy as well. I really discourage you to consider any brookstone mini projectors. They are expensive and have less power.

Dear HL S. It is difficult to provide an accurate and scientific answer based on the given input. Give it a try, buy the product, check it out and see if it meets your quality standards. If yes--Great!. Otherwise return to supplier for full refund and learn from the experience when specifying another projector. Regards. Mr. North East.

Everything generally works very well. The projector is very easy to use and you can grade the quality of the sharpness and size as best you want to view the video.Very well.

This is a very bright projector. I used it in a brightly lit African classroom where sunshine is often an issue. This one holds its own. The image is larger than most projectors, so I've never had it more than 20 feet from the projector, even in a large sanctuary.

Unfortunately I did not review the projector you asked about but I can tell you about the ViewSonic PJD5533W WXGA. I bought the View Sonic for showing movies outdoors and I couldn't write in words how this performed more than I ever thought possible. I have (4) TV's indoors from 70" plasma's, LCD's and this projector shows as well as any TV I currently own. If not for viewing projectors in highly lighted areas I would NEVER purchase anything except for projection. I currently project onto 122" screen with an inexpensive bluray player and the picture is awesome. This projector would easily project onto a sceen much larger with no issues. Again I don't know anything about the other projector but the View Sonic is amazing. I could only imagine what a $2,000 projector could do.

That's what I bought it for, this is my third projector. A couple things to think about. -Should consider using a sound system the project isn't designed for sound. -I bought screen material and made a frame out of 1x3's. Just switched to Gray screen which helps with ambient light.-Room need to have light controlled somewhat, we have a daylight basement.-Its a projection, so it look more like a movie theater then the hi-gloss HDTV's now out.-Run it in econo mode, I put it in regular mode for 3D and special programs, it really extends the life of the bulb.

Oh ya. The epson is a fantastic projector. Have had mine for two years with over 5k hours and still works like new. Can't brag on it enough honestly.

Well it depends on the ambient light of the room, obviously. But overall I've been real impressed with the projector. Let's just say that if I turn off all the lights in my living room at night I can get a pretty clear image that is about 100'' from corner to corner. In most lighting conditions a clear 40-50'' image is typical. Of course it doesn't compare to a real projector, but it works much better than I expected.

Nope. This projector uses a relatively low lumen LED lamp. I use this in a pitch black room on a 100" screen - but even this setup produces a picture that is a little too dim to render a picture with an acceptable contrast ratio. If you want a projector that has an LED lamp bright enough for a relatively large screen (with some ambient light), consider something in Casio's "Green Slim" line.

Hello Gary;Sorry I can't help you with the comparison between the HD33 and the Epson 5030UB. I have a Optoma GT700 3D and purchased the Epson 5030UB in December. It has great color, clarity and brightness. I use my as a portable for playing mainly blurays. One nice feature is the zoom. Once I get the picture within the area of the screen I can use the zoom to square it in to the frame. The reviews I read convinced me to wait until this projector was available. Hope this helps.

Have tried it in both darker rooms and lit rooms...like all projectors, the picture is not as sharp in a lit environment, but it is still high resolution and easily seen.

I agree it is a great projector. If your computer has a DVD payer, you don't need a separate DVD player: just connect the projector to the computer.

If there is any degradation in the brightness...it's too little for myself or anyone else in my family to notice. I also was impressed of the light quality even when I operate my projector on "Low Power" mode. I am highly impressed with it and will definately buy more in the future.

That is exactly what we use it for, as well as boxing and football games! It's so much fun! Sadly, at only 2000 lumens, it does require darkness. Set-up happens @dusk and shows start after dark(looking forward to changing back to standard time...summer movies start quite late! Next projector I buy will be 3000+ lumens for that reason. It does work wonderfully though, friends are always impressed. One thing to note, sound it a bit lacking so we hook up our Bose Sound Dock for booming sound using "audio out" (RCA cable with headset plug on other end).Hope that's helpful.
