 EMERALD INNOVATIONS 86632 EZ-UP TWO-IN-ONE LIGHT SHOW PROJECTOR DELUXE $99.99 I chose to ignore the other reviews that said that this was not worth the money, and am now regretting not listening to them. I had the same issues with dim images that were sort of splotchy and indistinct. This is not a focus issue - even after adjustment, one side of the image would be sharp, then the middle would be darker, and the other edge would be fuzzy and indistinct. The claim of false advertising by others seems to have some merit - the images look nothing like the ones in the advertisement. I am in agreement that to me the images in the ad photos looked like they were faked. There is no way the projector I received could project anything close to the bright, sharp images on my house. My house is also brick, as noted by one of the other reviewers. This may be part of the issue (but not all). A flat, textured surface that is medium terra cotta in color is not going to project anywhere near as well as a bright white smooth sided house. (This is why movie screens are white or silver - reflect better.) Even so, the house in the ad photos is also brick. It is very well lit from within and by external lighting. I turned all lights off in my house and outside on a dark night and could barely see the images projected on the house. I suspect the ad photo was Photochopped. I think this could be a good product with some engineering changes, such as: - a brighter bulb (say, 100w instead of 55w) (however, do not do this yourself as it may be a fire hazard or worse since the extra heat and current might melt the projector and start a fire) - a narrower beam bulb (e.g.- 10 degrees) - maybe use a 120V bulb with a separate plug instead of the 12V bulb - or go with a 100w equivalent LED bulb (which are not yet on the market) - a foil-lined barrel down which the light shines to reflect more light through the image slide - better mirrors onto which the bulb projects (I suspect this is what is causing the uneven images) But for this product as-is, I feel it just does not work properly.  ViewSonic PJD2121 400 Lumens Ultra Portable PICO DLP Projector 2.1LBS $649.00 The picture is big and beautiful. The machine is plug and play. The lamp is bright enough so that you don't need total darkness. When you turn it off the lamp is cool so that you can pack it up immediately to take it. It's just 2 pounds so that it's a dream to transport. I really couldn't be happier with it. |
