I prefer to watch movies in a room with very low lighting. Are the 3000 lumens this projector puts out too bright in low light situations?

No. We watch with no lights on and the shades drawn, it looks great with HI DEF TV or Blu Ray.

If you want to leave it plugged in to watch a movie then you'll be getting 100 lumens. If you're using it in the battery mode then you'll be getting 40 - 60 lumens.Hope this answer your question.

These projectors are so awesome for the price! They do ok in a moderate sunlight room, which is what we started with. But as we watched it at night and how clear and crisp the picture is we put room darking curtains on the windows. So you can still see the picture but the darker the more clear for sure! Hope it helps!

I have mine in a small bedroom and the projector is about 10ft from the wall, i get about 100" screen size. The only issue i have is that i sometimes hear the projector switch from light to dark scenes. Even on ECO mode. but i am very happy with this projector and would buy it again.

There are much better projectors out there for rooms with a lot of light. In fact, unless you want to consider your projector a disposable, I would suggest a different brand. BenQ's support is horrific. I paid several thousand dollars for a BenQ projector and BenQ could not repair it when it failed for the second time (no parts were available). I had to buy a brand new one. I have been pleased with Epson.

I'd be careful. We are returning ours to Amazon. In an office environment with the overhead flouro lights, no way. Just too dim.The picture is crisp, the colors not bad (not great either), but unusable lumens. Even if you turn off the lights, its still too dim to go through a half hour presentation without fatique on my eyes. I even changed the power savings to minimal, which helped, but still not good enough. Also tweaked contrast and brightness, to no avail.

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.

I have a basement that is kind of L-shaped and I often watch the projector with the lights on in the end of the L that doesn't have the projector/screen, for some general lighting in the room. However, I think with any projector you would at least want shades down on the windows to get the best picture.

Yes! It defintley is a great projector! It very bright and great for movie nights! The picutre quality is amazing even if it is at 720! I loved it for the month that i had it and because i loved epson brand i ugraded quickly to the 3D epson projector and as antisipated, an amazing product!

from my understanding yes and it has been bright enough to project a 30 foot screen from about 80 feet away it has a decent speaker once you go in through the menu and adjust. it is great for watching movies I have watched many hours of movies on this projector in the last month that I have owned it

If you use the remote and go to setting:picture:aspect ratio, you can choose from 16:9, full, or 4:3. It also has a few other options that appear greeted out because of my other settings, which are just scan, set by program, and cinema 1. It is not the brightest projector but is otherwise awesome. It is highly portable and I use it in small conference rooms with most of the lights off.

Jeremy,I think that you will be more then happy with the LG PB63U with 500 lumens. I use mine down stairs in my family room with the lights on and the picture is still very good plus you have 30000 hours of lamp life. You can not have this many hours with a 2000 + lumens projector and the truth is I can not tell the difference between the two in regards to picture quality. I hope that this helps.

As long as you have an hd projector and enough space in the room it is great. Make sure you can control the amount of light in the room.

yes, Carl's ProGray - great choice! I have an Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 1080p 3LCD Projector ( 2000 lumens ). I am very pleased with the picture.

Honestly I would pick another projector. It works very well...the only reason why I would say pick another one is because the room has to be very dark in order to see the image projected. Any light makes it hard to see the image. If projected in daylight, don't even bother with this one because you will never see the image.

According to Panasonic's website http://www.panasonic.com/business/projectors/pt-ae7000u.asp it says 300,000:1 contrast ratio and 2,000 lumens of brightness. It looks brilliant to me!

Like all projectors, not the best in a well lit room. I put up black curtains in my basement. Have it about 6ft from the screen, worlds well. Not as sharp as my Sharp projector, but price is reasonable.
