Hi, it's a great, small, portable projector. The only negative thing is that the room has to be fairly dark.

Only if you are showing pictures. The resolution is so grainy it is almost impossible to read text. Spend the extra money to get an HP projector.

If you can find it, the Dell X51 is excellent. With the right adapter, it can even run Powerpoint directly with a VGA projector. I used this feature extensively when I was lecturing. It's harder to get it to work with the current crops of PC. The Ipod Touch is an is another excellent standalone PDA, and easier synced with itune.

The projector did well during PowerPoint's (primarily text) the issue is the length of time the projector would be on. Mine died/shut itself off/overheated on a regular basis every 15 to 20 minutes.

Hey Pokey,Yes, you need a computer, on which you load the pretty simple IPEVO software and you run it thru any kind of standard LCD projector that you might use for your powerpoints or other images. Many schools have placed these in classrooms so teachers can project materials, and most of us have laptops -- so in that situation, this little device is an amazing value. It replaces that overhead because you can project anything without making them in to slides. Its just a little video camera is all.

I don't think it would work as a regular projector. I just tried the projection option and to get a real clear picture you have to be fairly close to wall which in turn makes the picture you are projecting small. It wouldn't project a big enough picture for a presentation.

Projection is decent, although we have to hook up our own sound. Works fine with a Bluetooth speaker connected to the laptop. We use ours for movies for our block parties, so it's fine for that. For important business meetings, I would suggest something sharper and with sound.

Get a viewsonic if it's on a school budget. They have educator discount codes available.

You can but I would go with a little more expensive one. This one good for movies and DVD projections. If your going to use it all the time for power points. I would invest into a more name brand one.

Personally I rarely use it for text because the resolution is low. For instance when it shows my desktop, I can barely read the file names. For a Powerpoint presentation this may not be an issue as long as the font size is large enough. However I bought this over a year ago and it is still working, so these are very well-built and long-lasting!

I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. Yes, if you connect it via a USB cable it comes right up. You can also tweak it with the display settings on the computer as well as using the remote for the projector. I use it to teach workshops and it's nice, portable and works great.

I have used the projector in classrooms of approximately 10x8 meters and everytime I have not darkened the room completely the results were very satisfactory.The brightness of the projector is perfect for a class or a conference.I have used it to project movies from a laptop (HDMI port) and to use power point slides from a Surface tablet (using both VGA and HDMI modes) and I am very satisfied with my M115HD

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.

The projector at 10 ft would throw a very large display probably 110" the problem these projectors have with text is that they use a diamond pixel instead of a square pixel so the edges of text can be fuzzy. If you are using this in a presentation or business environment it will not be bright enough with any light of any magnitude. An open window will wash out colors and contrast. Go with the ml500 (same diamond pixel problem but brighter) or choose a laser / led hybrid with a different dlp chip. I'm not saying this isn't a good projector for its purpose (portability) but if text is your first consideration and portability comes in at a five or six in the list then this isn't the right one for you.

Yes. I used it for a Keynote presentation in Fort Worth last month. It worked great. I was able to use the two screen presentation mode. The projector showed current current, and the iPad showed current and next slide.

Kristi, did you find an inexpensive projector that worked for this purpose?

Yes. You can connect it to a laptop or a camera. You can also just upload your file on the video projector, then disconnect the laptop and do the presentations independently
