Pros: This is a very good model. If you want to be able to use a projector with your lights on, don't go any lower on ViewSonic scale of these projectors. The jump from 2000 lumens SVGA to this 2500 lumens XGA is night and day. from Newegg.com It was GREAT!. I really like this unit! It is bright,1500 lumens, even with a quarter moon and stray light from inside the house. It is simple to use and it is pretty quiet. from Amazon.com This J551D is a good home theater projector if you on a tight budget.it will take HD from your cable box or PS3 etc through the DIN15 computer port , you will need a break out cable it has a component HD cables on one side (RCA) and computer on the other . it is very bright and has good contrast very little screen door effect when compared to cheaap LCD units . it has 3500 hr lamp life on high and 4000 hr on eco mode .replacement lamps are cheap and viewsonic has good warranty service it is noisy sound wise and is prone to overtemp if your in a hot room .with only one HD input a reciever with component switching is must . also if you have problems with rainbows or DLP motion blur headaches look for LCD or 5 time speed wheel DLP , this projetor has real problems with dark action video and is not a good gamming .but for most video its very good , from Tigerdirect.com Pros: 1024x768 resolution Good brightness Cons: Pure colors not so bright At ~100"" diagonal image, screendoor is bad at < 50"" viewing distance Some rainbowing, but only when my eyes are tired Just plain-jane VGA input Other Thoughts: Great projector. This is my first projector. I am glad someone FINALLY stripped down the PC DLP projector to reach a lower entry point. Perhaps the 780p offerings applied the pressure? from Newegg.com Remote is setup well, but does not work correctly. I even tried a pointing directly at projector, it might work maybe 30% of the time. Picture color is nice, but it appears to have somewhat of a screendoor, grainy look, its a DLP so it shouldn't but? Dark movies do not perform well, not dark black colors. from Tigerdirect.com If you're reading this while searching through page after page of digital projectors, wondering if you should take the plunge - then look no further. The viewsonicpj503dp is a great place to stop looking. I was taken aback by the value and the quality of this product. from Amazon.com I don't think u can find any other type of projector with this price( cost only US $499 ). I used Viewsonic LCD monitor,too. Overall, I am very satisfied with Viewsonic quality-control. from Amazon.com Only thing is it does not have built in speakers. So you need a seperate speakers. Brightness/lumens are enough to watch it on a room wall. Go for it if you really dont want to spend too much!! from Amazon.com The best low price pro projector on the market. I would suggest the Viewsonic projector to anyone who is looking for a great movie and video game experience, plus daily TV use though it is good to still have a traditional set for daytime viewing. from Amazon.com I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a projector and was thrilled to find this ViewSonic (especially on sale). My office uses it for presentations and it works perfect. from Amazon.com
