Viewsonic PJ358 Tests (Beamer / Projektoren)

Viewsonic has recently expanded their range of projectors quite considerably; we have one on test here in the reasonably priced PJ358. It's touted at mobile workers or businessmen, but its strengths, which include a short throw lens, help it double up...

Fast startup and shutdown, range of effective settings for improving quality, large display with short throw lens, HD up to 1080i

Poor contrast ratio, video playback only really possible in dark environments, better suited for occasional use

Very lightweight and bright. It ran for 12 hours straight at my LAN party and was a real crowd pleaser. Great colors and saturation even with medium flourescent lighting and indirect skylights overhead

No digital input. No RCA audio input/output. Inadequate documenation on how to use the USB picture/movie viewer

Excellent Portable Projector

Bought this projector ahead of a two week trip across the states demoing our software to prospective clients. It was ideal as it fit into my pull-along laptop bag alongside my laptop and was light enough that it didn't pull my shoulder out when I had...
