What’s Not.

The bottom line.
The ViewSonic projector performs well and comes with a low price tag. A good buy for those looking for a projector to serve multiple functions.
If you’re looking for one product that will display vibrantly colored presentations to your investors during the day and transport you onto the Lost island at night, ViewSonic’s PJ513DB DLP projector will fill the bill. A versatile projector powered by 2200 lumens, the PJ513DB is suitable for small office, classroom and home use. It features an 800×600 SVGA native resolution and will support 720p and 1080i signals. The 2000:1 contrast ratio produces high-quality images.
The digital keystone correction feature and zoom lens assures that your images will be displayed nicely at different distances and angles. The projector’s image throw distance ranges between 6.4’ and 36.5’ and it will project image sized between 48” and 300”. The BrilliantColor technology’s multi-color processing produces clearer images and colors that are 50% brighter and won’t fade with time. Users who present various media types will appreciate the PJ513DB’s five color-correction modes: brightest, presentation, photo, cinema, and standard.
The PJ513DB’s “whisper mode” extends lamp life by up to 3000 hours and, as the name suggests, lessons noise output. A feature called MyScreen allows you to customize your start-up screen with your company’s logo or favorite picture. The PJ513DB’s image reversing function allows for easy installation, although the projector doesn’t come with a remote control so beware of placing it too far out of reach.
The PJ513DB serves a variety of functions and presents many media types clearly. Users seem to agree that it’s a budget priced projector that performs well.
