The Optima TX631 is very bright. I've used it in a theater setting for a children's Christmas party and it was perfect.

I've used it for theater with live video feed and processor. We used it in a small space and it definitely worked for our production.

mine works well, the problem i found it is very noisy, i can hear the fen working so it is better for outside or using good speakers, the resolution is not too good either so if u need very detailed image i think u need domething better, but it is the cheapest so if u want something better u should spend at least 500. when i recently bought it i was unhappy because it is hard to project in canvas the reason it is hard it is because you will have to move the projector to get the desired size. all functions work well but i found that i can use lycra and then i made a lycra screen and then i invert the image in the projector and i like it on this way. i hope it helped you

I found that this projector was very much brighter than others I have used. I didn't try it in a well lit classroom, so I can't say for sure about your situation but if you have a good reflective screen I think it should be good. At least it is the best I have seen.

Hello, since I buy in 2012, I have had no problems with this projector performs well in video, brightness, and luminance, as used with DVD, laptop, pc, ipad, phone, it is much better if you are using an HDMI cable, magnificia resolution is, go for it.

It is an awsome projector because it has a tv tuner, u can use almost any tv source etc. U can also put presentations or movies on a usb drive, just plug in the usb and play. You can also surf the net play YouTube, but it takes time as the input method is a slow process (No Keyboard). It has great color and at about 25 feet far away, you get maybe a 200 inch viewing. Now you have to have the room very dark as this is a low power (low cost to operate as well) the more light there is in the room, the more colors will fade from the picture.

I love the 144 it's very impressive. If you're using it in your backyard it is big. Well I guess that depends on how big your backyard is. I use mine on camping trips so size doesn't matter. It also depends on the quality of your projector. The bigger the picture the better the projector you need. If not it will be very grainy.

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.

I use a 125in. Stewart screen from 15 to 20 yrs. ago. This was before the screen improvements of today. The light output is so good from this projector that at a distance of 15ft. it is still possible for a good picture in 50% ambienet room light. Like with all front projectors the less light bouncing off the screen the better.

I use this projector on a 100" screen and it works well. But for 16' wide you will need better res. I also of have a Epson 3010e on a 200" screen and it's leaps and bounds a better.

My wife and I have used this to show videos at church. This is a very good projector. We love it.

I am sorry you are having problems. I also ordered this projector, but promptly sent it back as I was dissatisfied with it. I recommend you do the same. I ordered a different model and am very happy with it. I use it for Keynote presentations as well as showing movies. I could never have done that with this model you have. I then ordered the Optoma W303, yes, more expensive, but IMHO well worth it. As they say, "you get what you pay for, if you don't pay much, you don't get much".

I bought it for the sole purpose of creating a home theatre since I already have a HT system. It works out great for me since I don't sit too close and can't see the limited resolution of this projector. Do keep this in mind, your low res videos will look rubbish after being projected not because of the project but because of the low res video to begin with.

I wouldn't use it for that. It is a nice quality unit but it is really designed more for use as a program or presentation type projector. In would spend a little more money and get a bigger unit more designed for movie use.

I like the Uncle Milton Star Theatre Pro, except the light is a little bit weak. This is "ok" for my wife and I sitting around in our living room listening to music, looking up at the planets. But for a really serious domed black surface, you need something that is brighter, in my opinion. Last year a lighting engineer (who owns the company that makes slides at http://www.microstru.com) emailed me and offered to make a brighter light if he got at least 500 orders. I emailed him that I was interested, but I don't think he every got enough order. You may want to email that company about getting a brighter light. It may cost you a premium, but I'm sure he can sup-up a brighter light. There are also other cool projectors that you can get, in addition to the Uncle Milton. For example, there are cool laser show type things which I'm considering myself.

I think so but I honestly don't know. I haven't used it for that and am not very tech savvy :) I would check by googling it. I LOVE the projector though!

Yes, I have installed many kinds of projectors over the years and by far for the money this product Is amazing. Great picture even in bright rooms. You can't go wrong with this product. I have used it to play movies and have been really happy...

I would recommend you buy a digital video projector like an Epson. They are way brighter and work much better for art projects than this one.
