Do I need to buy a projector as well? Which projector do you recommend?

Hi Barbara, if you wish to display the captured image to a class then you will need a projector. The image from the document camera can be displayed on your pc and shared through Skype, but it does not project. Depending on budget and size of audience I would recommend either the Epson VS220 SVGA 2700 lumens color brightness, 2700 lumens white brightness, HDMI, 3LCD Projector by Epson or the FAVI RioHD-LED-2 Mini Projector. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask if you have further questions. Bill

You don't neede a projector you dcan connect to a big screen tv via an rgb connector, same cable you use to connext a desktop to a monitor. If you pan to use it for presenttions then you would want a projector viewsonic makes good ones, look for the hights lumins and be aware that the bulbs for these projectors are around $200

Yes. The document camera does not project anything, it picks up. You need a projection unit to show what the camera is seeing. We try to have as few different models as possible to eliminate the need for a bunch of different kinds of replacement bulbs. Hitachi has been our go to machine. You want as many lumens as you can get while staying in the 600 dollar range. Then look at the cost to purchase replacement bulbs. And, look to see if the projection unit has speakers or if you will need to have another sound source.

You do need a projector. I already had one that my school provided, but I don't know what brand it is.

I use an Epson projector anytime I use the camera and my laptop and camera together.

Yes... You'll need a projector as well. Epsom makes the best projectors from my experience.

i'd have to look at the manual im sure you could find it on the interwebs somewhere. its the best projector i have ever bought..if you need it to do something fancy like 120hz i would spend me money on something way more expensive just to make sure

No. You get what you pay for. Look into the Aser H5360 - this is the best projector for the money and can be used for many purposes. I've used it for presentations, and watched 3D movies at home on it (3D requires Optima 3DXL converter.)

I believe this projector comes with a VGA cable. It depends on what kind of device you are planning on using as your source. We use an HDMI cable to provide signal to this projector. It also accepts a composite signal (RCA video cable).

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.

Biltz, I was so disapointed with Epson, that I will never buy a epson product again. they do not stand behind their product!.. I replace it with a Vivitek H1180HD bougth at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Vivitek-H1180HD-Blu-Ray-Theater-Projector/dp/B00FJ1Q5SQ/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid;=1421444429&sr;=8-12&k;eywords=vivitek+projector&pebp;=1421444439818&peasin;=B00FJ1Q5SQ). Same or better specs as far screen size , throw, distance, etc.. with much more vivid colors and 3D capabilities.. Price about the same... I am very happy with the Vivtek.

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.

No, I got a great HDMI cable made by Mediabridge sold here on Amazon. I think I paid $20 for a current standard 25 foot cable. If you are going to say mount the projector on the ceiling or is away from the component you are going to plug it in to make sure that the HDMI cable is long enough. Also if you are going to have it go in to a wall make sure it meets the code for that. The newest cables are necessary for things like 3D, ethernet, deep color, return channel etc.. Depending upon your components these might be necessary but never too high a standard. The cable I got is certified by the HDMI association, has worked awesome for over a year, is as good as any out there and if I were to go to Best Buy or other retail store to attempt to buy the same cable it would cost me probably $100. So get a good one but buy on Amazon so you get a great price on a great cable.

Yes buy a cheetah projector mount to go with it. That will be a perfect setup and is the same one I own

The picture will be good and clear, however the sound might not be enough. But you can add small speakers that easily plug into the ports on the projectors and it would be work very nicely.

i think you can connect to a projector using a usb. there is a usb an a audio video output. there is also a usb input for a computer or a hard drive to record or playback

I would Recommend the Optima PK320 this is a small unit that have excellent picture quality.Optoma PK320 WVGA 100 Lumen DLP LED Pico Pocket Projector with HDMI and Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery

I would avoid the best priced bulb in favor of an epson brand bulb from the website (for this projector). I have been using projectors (and replacing bulbs accordingly) for years and an inferior bulb will have a horrible output, which will cause a clear loss of quality and contrast. Also buying from anyone other than the manufacturer could get you a knock off. Sorry I did not source a link for you here, but that is my experienced advice.

Yes it's worth the upgrade! 10 times higher contrast ratio. With a projector, that is everything.

you can connect each to the projector using an HDMI cable but to use both you will need to have a receiver.

either direct connection with a VGA cable or connect o PC via USB and connect that to projector as usual with VGA cable. You ge better resolution when going via PC

Its a good projector but the one I had does have in-built speakers for when using HDMI but struggles to use the audio cable when using the red/yellow/white cables for AUX devices. Your computer can hook up to speakers or stereo but as far as the projector, I do not think so.
