ViewSonic M2 1080p Portable Projector with 1200 LED Lumens, H/V Keystone, Auto Focus, Harman Kardon Bluetooth Speakers, HDMI, USB C, 12GB Storage, Stream Netflix with Dongle

For the money, this is a really feature-packed projector. I was looking for a projector that has 3d support. Most of the cheaper projectors, the "bluetooth" ones don't support it. I couldn't understand why they had every other feature, but didn't add 3d in. However, this Viewsonic projector does support 3d and it looks really great. As far as the usual projector stuff, this projector has decent brightness -- it looks ok even in a room that isn't pitch dark (we had a few lamps on). It looks nice in a dark room. If you're looking for a super bright picture in a bright room, you might want to consider a larger, more expensive projector.As far as 3d, to produce a 3d image you need three things. A projector (like this one) that supports 3d and projects the 3d image, you need a player that can play 3d disks (I bought an LG Bluray player that plays 3d disks) and you need 3d glasses. For glasses, I've seen a few people say you need to buy the Viewsonic PG-something glasses. Well, those glasses don't appear to be made anymore. However, don't worry, you just need to buy any regular old active shutter glasses that are for DLP projectors. Buy one of the brands that say they support all kinds of DLP projectors--this Viewsonic won't be in their supported list, but they will work with this projector. I had a little difficulty with the glasses, probably because I was turning them on incorrectly. But, if you mess with them, you'll get it.Also, another nice thing about this little projector is the sound. Wow! Its very impressive for such a little box. Its good enough to use to watch a movie, unless you're really after that thunderous sound of a movie theater, then you could explore the bluetooth option and connect a bluetooth speaker to this projector.There's a few things I don't like. First, if you use the built in arm as a base, on mine at least, the display is crooked. Also, the projector is so light that the HDMI cable will move it. So, to get the projector properly placed, you need to mess with the HDMI cable or even tape the cable down to the table where your projector is. I mostly solved the problem by attaching a tripod to the projector -- your tripod will just screw into the bottom of the projector. A pretty cool feature.It does have the ability to play movies from micro SD cards and external hard drives. I haven't messed with any of those. Its also connects to WiFi--that went very smoothly for me. That's nice in case there are any firmware updates, you can get them instantly over WiFi.So, overall, this is a really great budget projector with alot of features. One of its biggest strengths is that it supports 3d--very, very rare in this price range.

Summary: it’s expensive, but you get some amazing tech that reminds me of those old Apple days. You get what you pay for and then some for sure! Absolutely love this projector!!!!Let me first start by saying I love piko projectors and have purchased several over the years. The technology has constantly surprised me since the day I first got one. When I found the view sonic m1 projector (older model) a few years back I instantly fell in love. However it was lacking in picture quality and brightness. The focus wheel would get loose over time and my remote snapped from repetitive use due to its thin frame.Here’s a simplified list of my thoughts on this projector.Pros:• True 1920 x 1080p resolution. It’s so clear it almost feels like 4K due to the lack of a pixel border.• Bright 1200 lumens is enough to cast clearly in a dark room with indirect sunlight. At nighttime the image is so bright, the screen glows the surrounding walls as a normal monitor or tv would.• The speakers are good, but of course they are not studio grade. The base is non existent but it can get loud with out distorting. I’d say they are better then a iPhone but not as good as a Bose speaker.• noise is perfect. The unit is so quiet and I mean quiet. It virtually is silent compared to my laptop or a console.• the menus are well designed and navigation is a treat.• the auto focus feature is perfect. The remote also has a refocus button.• key store adjust is also great. It had horizontal and vertical adjustment. You can also edit the four corners of the screen to stretch it perfectly, but keep in mind this will cause a small time delay as the projector processes and distorts the image.• the remote is small but dense and feels very high quality. The buttons are clicky not mushy and don’t have a rubber Finish but a matte finish• Connecting to WiFi allows you to use your phone to broadcast. I found this a useful feature but I already have a chrome cast and a Apple TV. I did not notice that much lag.• sturdy build quality and stand to prop it up correctly at any angle.Cons:Honestly there are not many.• The price. At 700$ (tax) it’s a pritty big pill to swallow at first. However you fully get what you pay for.• Video ghosting. It’s not a huge issue but while playing certain games I noticed a small blur outline around moving objects. It’s hardly noticeable in movies but in video games it’s detectable but not distracting.• key stone correction ( corner distorting) causes the projector to lag at 0.1 seconds or so. It’s to a point where you can notice it while gaming. This is a easy fix luckily, just don’t use the setting to stretch the edges.• no portable battery. Unlike most piko projectors this model does not have a battery. It makes sense because it’s a new breed of piko projectors that is more designed for a home theater. I’ve read it can be powered by a backup battery but I haven’t verified that personally.• micro sd card slot can’t read 64 gb cards or higher• the onboard media center software is basically bootleg Asian bloatware. It’s not a showcases feature but it’s worth noting.Final thoughts. For the price I can’t imagine a better projector. For my room my projector has become a daily use item. If your in the market for a projector like the m1 projector but want quality over mobility and afford it, be sure to pick this up! There are many many bad projectors out there that lie about the specks or sacrifice quality. Hope this review helped!! 👌🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻🤘🏻
