I bought this small projector but it seems like it doesn't have enough brightness. Is it just on mine or everybody having same thing?

The pocket projector has two models the newer slim 25 lumen and the lumen 85. I have the 85 lumen one and it works good for me on in a dim not necessarily dark room. If you have multiple lights or bright daytime use you will not be satisfied. The 25 lumen, I would think it would need a near dark room.

you do need to have a fairly dark room. But for the price you can't beat it.

That is something that would most likely be in your TV's menu. Try finding the menu button on your TV remote, then find the picture setting. There should be an option to decrease brightness in there.

It does have a pretty high lumens for a projector. In my installation it is visible with the lights turned on. However, it does look much better with the lights dimmed or some of them turned off in the room. Depending on how bright you lighting is, you might have different results.

I have more of a backlight issue when viewed from off angle. There is a white fuzzy band of excess brightness on the right 1/8 of screen, that washes out the color. is this similar to your set?

That happens sometimes. Hit shift (2nd) and the arrow up to increase the brightness. Keep doing that until you can see the numbers.

Depending on the screen information, the lighting itself depends on the lumen value being used. Typically, because it's a short throw projector, it will be bright. But, if you have a bunch of natural sun light coming in on top of florescent lights, it is difficult to see.

wish i knew, i cant seem to find the sweet spot either, i read the reviews and set it to what some other guy had, and it looked bad on my set, i noticed when i switched from componet to hdmi, the color changed , somehow, not sure what the best settings are

I think I found an answer to the issue. The problem I had is that I changed the settings immediately to "Dynamic," which raises the brightness significantly, and is only supposed to be used in a very bright room. When I put the settings back to normal everything looks great and the side light issues disappear. I guess I just need to listen to the suggestions of what the different picture modes are for.

TO be honest I am not Sure? Sorry Can't help I just kept searching on forums with the same projector.

You have adjustment settings in the menu to brighten the screen. Mine are fine.

Never had a problem with brightness. Make sure you check your settings, some will make the picture dimmer. Also make sure the mirror inside the set is clean.

I have mine on a 85 inch screen in my bedroom and its plenty bright. at 720p seem to be plenty for me. its small and portable. easy to set up. you may want better sound than just the supplied speakers in the unit its self. it can project up to 300" diagonal. the 3d is ok but can be buggy to set up.

Check your brightness setting. I read that one user was getting flickering when he had the brightness setting set to 75% and CPU usage was high. He didn't see it any other time. Search the net for more info. May or may not be a platform issue.

It's also missing analog outputs, a problem, if like me, you want to use it with an analog receiver. The lack of Filterbright may be a plus, I've seen criticism of the PN42B450, in effect Filterbright didn't do much good and reduced brightness.

In my experience, the screen the projector can make is very small, and the light is kinda blur so you won't see the image very clear. Maybe because I didn't figure out how to use it? But anyway my experience isn't very good and I returned the product.

I haven't used the TMax in a while but you should be able to go into the "settings" screen and brighten the screen from there. Either through a display setting or look for a slide tab for screen brightness.
