Glad I took the chance. Nov 28, 2010 By MIC "People don't need milk. Calves do."
I read the negative reviews all over the web about this projector, and was nervous to even try it. Well, it was on sale on Black Friday, so I took the plunge. I'm so glad I did, because it performed better than I was expecting.

YES, the image is grainy if you make the image size 6-8 feet across.

YES, the produced image is a little less bright than what you would normally expect from a movie theater projector.

But, this product is perfectly good enough to watch some kids movies on the wall, or play some video games all blown up. I watched a couple of movies, and feel like I made a great purchase.

One other thing to realize- When you project a movie and wind up with a 6-8 foot wide image, you will think it looks grainy just like you do when you sit one foot in front of a television.

Put this projector on maximum distance from the wall, then move back as far back from the movie as possible, and you will see that the farther away you actually go from the image, the clearer it looks. This just seems like common sense.

I get the idea from other reviewers that they expect to blow up a movie to ten feet wide, sit right in front of it on their couch and expect it to look perfect without any grainy appearance. HELLO!??! They wouldn't sit a foot away from a TV would they?

Some reviewers mentioned the fan being too loud, and that the built-in speaker was insufficient. I disagree. The speaker was actually really good on my unit, and I didn't even hear the fan at all, laying on the floor 2 feet away from it. Don't pay attention to those people, this thing exceeded my expectations by a mile.

How I got it setup properly: Hung a white sheet on the wall, because it is assumed white backgrounds will work best. Put DVD player and projector on foldable TV dinner table about 12 feet out from the wall, with the projector on top of a box so that I didn't have to tilt it up too much to have the image positioned at the top of the wall. Then I turned on video source BEFORE turning on projector, then turned on projector. On the projector I adjusted the contrast by pausing a dvd when text was on the screen. Then I adjusted color. Then I focused the lens by turning the lens housing. I was also able to adjust brightness and contrast directly on my DVD player as well.

Bottom line is if you have kids, and they would get a kick out of projecting movies and games real big on the wall, get this thing.

One more thing you need to know: When you turn off the projector, the red light will flash, and the fan will keep going. This is normal. The fans in most projectors keep running to cool down the unit before totally shutting down.

get what you pay for Mar 08, 2010 By Ryan Arnold
i got this for the purpose of showing movies or playing games outside on nice summer nights. the resolution is low, focus is iffy, and screen image gets nowhere near 10' as the box states without fading too much. speaker is terrible, but you can direct the sound cables to a stereo or something that produces better quality.

high quality projectors cost $100 to RENT. low-end HQ projectors are roughly 10x the price to buy. this is an insanely cheap projector and does everything it should be expected to do at that price. the a/v inputs are versatile, and most types of computers/games/dvd players/vcrs etc. can use them (or have adapters available). used properly, it functions adequately. it's not near perfect, but it's a totally fair budget option, and those who feel that it isn't have way too strong a sense of entitlement.

Wonderful for the price Nov 29, 2009 By Sho
A durable and lightweight portable projector intended for gaming or casual entertainment.

Pros:
Price
Durability
Large lens range (Display throw can be very close and very far away)

Cons:
Low Resolution
Moderate Fan Noise
Lack of VGA input (Though this can be easily remedied)

I believe this product is sorely underrated. The Discovery Projector IS a projector, and when I can say that I bought a projector for around eighty dollars, that is an achievement. This product is not meant to be used in a home theater-- it is for someone who needs access to a TV but may not have it. I bought this product because buying a TV would not be as portable or versatile, and a whole lot more expensive.
For those looking to connect to a laptop, look for a VGA to RCA cable. If you look in the right place, it can't be more than $5-10.

Disappointed Dec 27, 2009 By Amy
Thought this would be perfect for the kids in our basement rec room. Weren't looking for high quality and we can make the room completely dark. The projector was very simple to connect to our DVD player but the picture clarity was awful. Even in the pitch black the picture was faint, and if the background was light you couldn't see the picture at all. Really had high hopes.
