How is this at projecting text? I'd like to use it for work presentations.

Not bad. Do not expect a very high quality. But it is practical enough to show some text even a small font.

Sorry, but this projector does a very poor job at projecting text. The text on the screen from my computer is fuzzy in some places even after adjusting the focus. I can't make the text from the whole screen clear, however, when watching videos, it's good enough. If you want a projector to occasionally watch videos, this projector is a good buy, however, it you want to project text, I'd recommend getting a used higher end model from another manufacturer.

My Projector has been playing music Videos in HD, every Fri & Sat for over a year and it looks awesome, I do not think you will have any problems with a work presentation if it can play the videos in such high quality

I wouldn't. Not if you are going to be sitting a normal distance away from it. The text will not be sharp enough. If you aren't going to do any reading on it then "maybe..." Like if it were dedicated to look at some graphics from a distance like in a conference room.

My experience has been it projects about 4-5 feet wide before the image is too light to read words on a PowerPoint in a dimmed room. This is with the projector maybe 6 feet from the surface it's projecting on (there's no zoom adjustment). The projector is small and very portable, which is great, but is not very bright.

Yes/No. You need the lights fairly dim to get a good result from this thing, and if the projector is far from it's screen getting the sharpness narrowed in for text can be tricky. It'll work in a pinch, but a large well lit room would not be good.

My opinion is that this projector is too bright for a personal home theater. I use it in very large conference rooms. For a home theater, I would use something like an Epson 1760W. It has a great picture and won't over power the room.

Sorry, I didn't keep it long enough to try that. All I know for certain is: it will project a GREAT photo up to a 24" X 30" display size. Nothing larger without blur & pixelation.

I am not sure how it would work for gaming, I am using it to support my conference room. I only use it for Power Point and word type documents.

Using presentation material will work. The projector shoots whatever is on your screen. Just open the file and maximize the screen coverage. Works the same way like with a movie.

Since the image would not focus clearly, I would not try to use it, especially for PowerPoint. I could not read any of the text projected.

I would not try and use this projector for presentations, the focus is not sharp enough.

I am using this in a custom built machine to run the displays at a church. I am running 2 large venue projectors (split with an HDMI dist. amp), a 70" foldback monitor, and 2 24" monitors. It works very well and have had no issues with the mini DP to HDMI adapters.

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.

What I use is a blue tooth speaker connected to a computer. Projector manual doesn't say much, the sound quality itself isn't satisfying anyway

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.

I use it for keynote which is apple version of PP. Works great. I think this is a really good projector for the price

This projector can project any kind of file that you can see on your computer screen. I use it to project PPT and video files for training archers and archery coaches.
