price, usability

100% of the reviews on Amazon.com give this product a positive rating.

Lowest cost 720p projector at the time of this review (10/07) ; Very compact size ; A touch quieter than the average DLP home projector ; Easy to adjust to get good color balance for movies - D65 (6500K)

A slightly soft image (sharpness) ; No backlight on remote control, which seems to be an adapted business projector remote ; User memory - cannot support more than one setting, a real problem if you want (need) a custom setting for movies in the dark,...

The value proposition of the PH530 is simple. If you want a 720p projector, and this is all you can afford, by all means, go for it. Despite the issues raised, it does produce a very acceptable picture to watch.

gut

Goede beeldkwaliteit ; Goedkoop

Niet erg stil

Voor de PH530 geldt dat het waar voor zijn geld is: Een goedkope 720p beamer met hdmi-aansluiting die bewegend beeld gewoon goed weergeeft.

i have my screen set up with 16:9 ratio about 13 feet from the screen and it shows regualar 4:3 TV as 8' wide by 36" tall respectively. extremely clear Movie and Computer input

Very Hot, this little lgith weight guy increases the temperature of my entire downstairs by about 5 Degrees. I a little fuzzy for TV, very clear for movies and computer input. Zoom is alright, but when used makes entire picture annoyingly pixeled (I...

The display is great! 6x color wheel means no rainbow effect (which i notice on 4x, but this is a by person deal). 1 of every connection

Lot louder then i thought it would be. Kinda a hassel since "My Chair" is about 2 ft from the unit. Also i can't get the VGA to work correctly. It doesn't display accuratly it cuts the left 5% of the screen off if i try to do a 16x9 resolution

720p Native Resolution - Huge Picture - Great Color - Quiet - Simple to Use - Color is great right out of the box, adequate and simple controls, economy mode is still bright enough for most uses. I have it about 13 ft. away from a 100" screen and it...

No sound. This is only an issue for use as a portable projector, as you will normally use your laptop's speakers (business) or hook your DVD player up to your stereo (home use). Also, its zoom is limited, so you have to place it close to the ideal...

bright, crisp and clear life-like picture, wonderful colors, I'm satisfied with the blacks, good separation between blacks & grays, very easy to setup, manual focus works like a charm, small and light,the fan is off 98% of the time and the projector is...

could be packaged slightly better. wish it was 1080p native like my hanns g 28" lcd

This thing is extremely easy to set up. It has a large variety of inputs and automatically detects things when you plug them in and turn them on. I have this thing projecting onto my wall, and my wall has a couple good scratches on it. Even so, when...

Same downsides as any other projector out there. Picture is not as good when there's more light (during the day), and blacks aren't as good as a normal TV
