Can I purchase this projector, assuming that it will be mostly dedicated to tv watching (sports / films) and DVD watching?.

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.

Dunskis: the answer to your question is yes! This projector has an hdmi port and Pb/Cb connection. Most modern DVD players have both or either of these connections to match. You will want to purchase a separate audio system, though! The built in speaker in the projector is worthless, especially for outdoors. Keep in mind this project is not weather proof, though, so it will need to be stored inside. Good luck! -stefan

Yes, you can use it as a projector by hooking it up to a computer. Just note that the brightness (lumens) is not super high, and you have to pull it very far back to get a big picture. But if you are ok with a picture about the size of 60" tv, you can get that from probably 8 feet away in a decently well darkened room. I hope this helps.

This projector is not a good quality projector. Perhaps, it's good for its size. But I would only use for temporary solution or for convenience, like when you travel and you don't want to carry a large projector. If you intend to use a projector for watching movies regularly at home, then I suggest you get a higher quality projector.

It has a mini display port, so if you projector is compatible with that, then yes.

You'd need to have a cable box to convert the cable into a usable signal. The cable box will probably have an HDMI jack that would be the best way to connect to the projector.

Sure, if it's connected to a PC or laptop with the appropriate software to view a movie (I'm assuming a movie on DVD is what you mean).

Yes via a cable box. I connect a hdmi cable directly between my projector & cable box & have watched the Super Bowl, had movie nights etc. For the money I think it was a great purchase.

Yes you should be able to hook up your DVD player to this projector. The image size can range between 20-80 inches, I found the image size to be on the smaller side of the range.

Yes - this is only the screen - you will need some type of projector to get image on the screen

You could use it with xbox and play station as well and any addition. Plus this projector comes with a good speakers. For the image quality, (((Awesome))) I like it.

I've used it to project some Youtube videos and also play a DVD from my laptop DVD player. It isn't perfect for showing movies because it isn't the brighest of projectors and it doesn't keep up with fast motion as in an action movie. I'd say that it is good enough to show a video clip or play a movie but it isn't going to be top quality home theater video. If the room is fairly dark it would probably look OK.

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.

Actually, this particular projector doesn't allow you to download movies. I have a dvd player that I plug up to it. The quality of the picture displayed is excellent no matter the type of dvd player you use. It can be a cheap one or top of the line I've compared them.

Any media projector, higher lumens the better. Can connect DVD or Bluray player depending on your projector.

Absolutely! I use it all the time with no problems. Additionally, I purchased the Roku HDMI Stick for the projector. It also works well without problems.

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.
