ViewSonic 3800 Lumens SVGA High Brightness Projector for Home and Office with HDMI Vertical Keystone (PA503S)

Got this in yesterday and immediately set it up in my backyard. I have a 144” screen that my old projector couldn’t hold a candle to. Once dusk was here the picture was amazing and continued to amaze me as it got darker. Glad I spent a few extra bucks. Even got approval from my wife who dead set against buying. Ask for forgiveness later.... granted I’m only one night in, but I’m really looking forward to using this come football season. Have no worries with this one!

Not worth $300. The specs look good on paper. I have a $90 projector I was replacing. I was looking forward to the 1080p picture and built in speaker. Unfortunately, the picture is grainy and washed. The settings don’t give many options to adjust the ratio. You will need external speakers because the fan is aggressively loud. Also the lamp light projects out of the vent holes; this projects random lights in a dark room. Like tiger strips around your projector screen. UPDATE: One year later. The lens has specs and there is no access port (like other projectors have) to blow the specs out. Still the worst decision I made buying this product.

This has made for some fun movie nights with the fam. Very bright and clear picture. Small and compact unit. Ability to have a very large screen. I ordered an inflatable 12’ screen to go with this (waiting for that to come in) - can’t wait to have a 12’ movie screen! Currently i am using a 100” screen which has worked well

I originally purchased a lower cost ($175-$185) 3600 lumen projector manufactured by a company unknown to me, but they received good reviews. I had to return that projector since it just wasnt bright enough nor resolution good enough to be effective in non-darkened rooms (business environments). My gut had told me to go with the ViewSonic since they have a very good reputation with computer displays etc. I ordered the ViewSonic PA503X as a replacement although it was about $100 more expensive. What a dramatic difference! Just an impressive bright, sharp display. Great quality and in my mind, worth every cent of the higher price. Dont sort change yourself, this projector is great.

I loved this projector. Any movie, music video, or tv show was exponentially increased in quality through exceptional viewing. However, as I have seen by the reviews, this projector has a problem with the bulb going out. I am wondering if this is covered under the warranty or if I could get help with replacement of the bulb. I need help soon as I leave for college in a few days. Any help is appreciated.

So happy with my purchase. Looked good even in a room with natural and artificial light coming in the room. Can’t wait for outdoor movies! I did a lot of research before my purchase. Couldn’t spend thousands on an expensive projector and was worried I wouldn’t end up with a good quality projector. This was definitely the right choice! Quick update just to be helpful. This is our second summer using the projector for outdoor movies and this is an excellent projector. Only challenge was getting speakers that could give us the sound we wanted. Otherwise we love it!

Amazing product! Just be sure to project on a wall that is not reflective.

Great quality and average price. Just pay attention to the dimensions and distance the projector needs to be from wall/screen

Looks good but has the rainbow effect. Very bright but after about 30 mins it shut off and the bulb light comes on. Had to return it, sounds like a common problem.

Very bright and works great. I might even have learned my lesson that not all projectors are created equal. What I mean is that I was going for the lumens and forgot to check the picture dimensions at 10 ft. so although it was very bright it was also smaller so I had to move the mount back a few feet. Still a good purchase.
