Smart HD Digital Art Projector with Focus Grid, Remote, Wi Fi and Case, Flare 500, White – Portable Mini Projector Screen System for Artists

If, like me, you're used to the cheap projectors and constantly being unsatisfied with the output, prepare yourself to be satisfied. Crystal clear, can reduce down to teeny size simply by moving the projector closer to the work, bright enough with excellent detail for most jobs if you're projecting onto white paper, super bright if you turn off the lights. It's not the projector for any work bigger than about 3'x4', but you could do it depending on the amount of detail you need and whether or not you can turn off ambient light. It's not the projector for large wall murals. There's another Autograph model for that with much higher lumens. But, for the average illustration type projection job, it's perfect. The controls all work like they're supposed to, focus is nice and tight, etc., etc.... I kinda balked at the price, but now that I got it, it's worth the dough.

Very sad to say that I am so disappointed in this projector. Where the features it offers are great for what I use it for (projecting images for large scale paintings), it is not even an inkling bright enough to see the image. It must be completely dark in the room or night time for it to work. The brightness is at its highest setting. That’s the first place I went to try to solve this issue. I am unable to use it during the day at all as my painting studio has a lot of natural light. Rendering this projector useless during most of my working hours. I can’t believe I spent so much money on it.

I am an amateur artist and find it challenging to draw free-hand on my painting surface. However, after purchasing this digital tool, projecting an image onto my gessoed masonite is a breeze. It really speeds up the artistic process. It also allows you to project an image via USB, wireless, etc.

I have read a number of reviews on this product and was hesitant to buy, but am glad I did. It works great and it was pretty easy to set up. The only thing I do not like is the enclosed USB drive. It is not compatible with my laptop so I cannot transfer my digital paintings onto it in order to paint them for real. There seems to also be a problem with connecting the blue tooth function to Apple products. However, the projector will read my other flash drives so I do have.a way of saving to my own and then using with this product. All in all it is wonderful to be able to have the images projected onto my canvas which I now can use to paint or sketch. Would recommend.

I'm very happy with his projector! As an artist I find it to be a key tool to add to my supplies. I looked at other brands and one of the main selling points for the Artograph LED500 was the 30,000 hours of lifetime the bulb has before it needs to be replaced. The projection is crisp,clean and bright. I'm looking forward to using this tool in future projects. The size is a plus too.
