If your looking for a great HD picture, then this unit is not for you. If you are used to watching standard TV and don't care about high def and just want to have a cheap big screen, then this might be for you. This projector does a decent job despite it's limitations. Placed in a dimly lit room and projected onto a 100 inch screen, this projector produced a surprisingly decent picture with plenty of brightness to spare. It did require a bit of tweaking to achieve a balanced picture due to it's limited contrast ratio. I found decreasing contrast alot and increasing brightness slightly got the best result. (I had mine at 25% contrast & 65% bright in a low lit room on a 100 inch screen) The speakers are tiny but the sound quality was ok, without distortion, it just lacks any bass. I Used the headphone jack to connect to external amp & speakers for best sound and to maintain control of volume with remote. The Pro's.......... Very small and portable Can flip image for floor/ceiling mounting and front/rear projection Multitude of inputs with full compatability on HDMI Bright LED lamp Low power consumption Inexspensive Decent picture The Con's...... Only a standard definition picture Limited contrast ratio (picture may look washed out in very bright sceens) Although it accepts 16:9 formats, it just squeezes them to fit 4:3 screen (there is a 16:9/4:3 button on the remote, but it doesn't work on this model) Overall this projector has served my needs very well, it works a DVD player and a PS-3 and it's portable. I even took it camping! This projector is very usefull for many applications depending on one's needs and I hope this review has helped the reader to be more informed. I gave this a "Good" rating based on it's versatility, overall performance, and price.Read full review
I bought this projector on a whim, but I'm extremely happy with the results and performance! The only qualm i have is I wish it had a zoom feature to adjust the screen size. The only way to adjust the size of the screen projected is to move the projector and/or the screen. The brightness could be a little better too, but for the price, its a very nice image and the inputs (hdmi,vga,svideo,component,and composite) are very sufficient for all my devices (wii, computer, cable box). I highly recommend this projector to anyone looking to get a large screen (mine works out about 100" on a 70x70 dalite screen) with a decent image for a cheap cheap price!
Decent projector for a such low price! Give me a really good hand!! I have a dlp projector that burned recently the lamp and I have to substitute fast a new unit before I find the lamop. The Favi has a decent image, Of course there is a inconvenience with the resolution change and sometimes the small fonts are not well seen but anyway for a PPT presentation, even in a illuminated environment it helped me a lot. I can say also two negative points. No buttons controls on the equipment itself and the case quality. Could be better! Thanks!
Bought this to do PowerPoint presentations for classes I teach. The video showing how easy it is to use is super. Loved the fact that it came complete with the case. Easy to set up, easy to use once I found the format it needed. From experiences with other projectors sometimes it just doesn't sync if the laptop is on and then the projector plugged in. Connect the projector first, restart the laptop and it finds its own way. Good product and very easy to use. It is so light that sometimes you need to support more than the front screw leg to keep it balanced. Loved the fact that it is LED. Brightness pretty good in a lighted room.
I bought one of these a month ago. I used it to watch TV & DVD movies for about 15 hours so far. This is the 5th DLP type projector I have owned over the past 4 years. IMHO this is "OK" quality considering I payed 2-hundred bucks... what can you expect for that much money? By the way... I tried a few types of view screens & I mostly like/use a 8' by 6' piece of white cloth & the projector 'bout fills that w/the projector 12' away.(NOT a short-throw lens). The fan is too noisy. I use headphones mostly... so it is not so much of an issue for me... The RioHD-LED-2 is to big to be "small" & yet too small to be "big". The "power brick" (18VDC) IS about like a brick! Hahahaaa... & @ 18VDC... you can't take this out & about w/you... there must be a home AC-power source (120 or 240 VAC). SO... in conclusion: This is a cheap quality thing @ a cheap price. You are NOT getting a great deal here @ 2-hundred bucks. It WOULD be very good if it sold @ 100-bucks. I plan to use it for a while as I save up money for a few months... then sell this & buy a much better quality projector... I do like DLP projectors... I am thinking to buy the FAVI "B-1" ... that will be much better for my needs (low voltage & very small size & internal memory & SD-card slot /internal 'player' software & not so dependent on the 'remote' . By the way... my remote failed right out of the box... The company sent another(slightly different remote) immediately & from that I see that: if you loose the remote or if it brakes? the RioHD-LED-2 will work... ONLY you can turn it on/off & ONLY use the "AV"-type input. No other input option was available to me(w/out the remote)... NO other 'options' can be used/controlled: picture quality adjustments/audio/etc... (the: "tomb-stone"- correction function is mechanical as is the "focus").Read full review
