ViewSonic M1 Portable LED Projector for Home & Family Entertainment with Harman Kardon Audio,Silver

I did a lot of research before this purchase. Really love this device, and I think it offers a lot for those willing to spend a little more than a cheap portable projector. The speakers really pump out great sound, and I love the portability. Screen quality is pretty good, the contrast makes up for the lack of resolution. It isnt bright enough to watch in full daylight, but fine with the curtains drawn or the lights slightly dimmed. Overall very happy with the purchase.The only cons I have encountered so far:- over time, the arm seems to have sagged. My picture is now crooked if I am projecting straight. A bit frustrating, and we always prop it up to get it straight- the fan can be a little loud, sort of like a 10 year old laptop running its fan on full. The speakers are loud enough to cover this though- the dial on the side for the focus occasionally unfocuses after a little bit. Can be annoying

Keep an eye on this as they do drop the price from time to time (at the time of this review - Oct 2018 - price dropped to £248). Absolutely brilliant for home use - bright, sharp images, excellent sound from Harman/Kardon speakers, compact remote control, rechargeable battery with good battery life, completely portable projector. So glad I purchased this rather than cheaper models - this is simply an excellent product for the price.For Apple users, get the official certified lightning to HDMI adapter (see my separate review) - bite the bullet and fork out £50 for it as no other adapter will work. Once you get it, it connects and streams seamlessly from iPhone and iPad. As at end of October 2018, I’ve streamed Netflix, Amazon Prime, BT Sport, Apple TV, BBC iPlayer, YouTube plus loads of other apps. As another reviewer has said, Sky Go does not stream due to licensing restrictions.Only slight cons I feel worth mentioning:- there is a bit of light bleed around the edges of the projector- some people may find the fan slightly noisy (although I find that once the audio is playing, it’s not that noticeable)- the stand doesn’t quite stand true so you may need to adjust itNone of the above mentioned cons materially change the experience for me - the overall quality and functionality of the product at this price is amazing.

I bought this then returned it the following day to buy a smaller pico project that has wifi and runs on Android 7.1. Do I regret my choice? Yes, Here's why...- Sound quality is super crisp and so incredibly clear, I live near the main road with lots of cars going past and I could hear every single word of a lecture I was listening to on volume level 3 (this goes unto 10) with my windows open, with my current pico projector by Yuafey I can barely hear anything on full volume even when my window is shut, my only choice is to use a bluetooth headset/speaker- Picture quality is super sharp & bright even on battery saver mode, I really cannot praise this company enough for achieving such great and consistent result in such a small device- I used this device for 5.5 hours on one charge while on battery saver mode. I watch a few films during daylight with the curtains open and could see the projection just fineHere's what I wish the device had...- wifi connectivity is a must for me (the only real option is to connect Chromecast, fire stick etc. to make it a smart system- Android OS 7.1 (or latest version) - that would really have made a big differenceAgain, I really liked the device, the sound quality is just amazing and I can't praise ViewSonic enough for this. I will probably consider buying this again if it drops to £200. The speakers on its own on this device is probably worth at least £150 (yes it really is that good).

This little portable and stylish projector is fantastic! It supports every type of media you can think of and it projects very good sharp and crisp image onto any smooth surface, no blurring or shadowing. You can plug in a USB stick with a video file for home use or PowerPoint presentation for work and off you go. It also has HDMI input so Amazon Fire Stick is possible to use. in addition SD card is also supported for all the holiday pics you might want to show your family. And not to mention USB-C input so you can stream straight from your smart phone.Automatic keystone means it allows for viewing from a variety of angles. No messing about trying to get the image just right.Really cool feature to mention above all is that it has built in speakers and not just any speakers – Harman Kardon ones and OMG how awesome sound they can produce out of such a tiny device! Astonishing!We will really enjoy our family film nights! It is definitely a big hit with all of us!!

Cant really find fault. This unit is up there in my top 3 bargain purchases. The constant fight for the remote control is now a thing of the past for me ESPECIALLY NOW THE WORLD CUP IS ON! I have watched games in places unimaginable. The bathroom ceiling being the best so far. The battery lasted long enough to get through the build up, full match + extra time with life to spare. It really is that portable.Decided to put it to the test and connect my PS4 and was blown away. Immaculate sound quality and more than decent picture quality. Family weekends away will be a breeze as i intend to save all the kids favorite cartoons on a memory stick and carry it wherever we go. Well deserved 5 stars! Will be looking to purchase another one in the near future

Great picture quality, not quite HD but very sharp. Decent sound quality, though you may want to hook up separate speakers, which you conveniently can do through the common aux port.The device has ports for everything from HDMI, Aux and Micro SD to a handy USB C port too! It's also very nicely hidden and comes out by pulling on the fabric attached to it which was a nice touch.The housing is super slim and the device itself is small and portable with a built in stand and a handy carry pouch which also includes a useful USB-C to USB-C cable.Overall, great piece of kit. Good step up!

Not only is this projector very good, the customer service from Viewsonic is outstanding. First the product. A really compact lightweight portable projector with excellent connectivity. We use a Firestick directly into the HDMI to deliver all the usual streaming services. Picture quality is decent. Impressive for the size and better the darker the room. Sound quality is excellent. The projector itself is quiet. Now customer service. Nearly two years after purchasing, the projector stopped working. An email to Viewsonic and their tech department called me back quickly. When troubleshooting didn't help, they offered to collect the projector from my home, repair it and return it at no cost to me. No hassle for me. Within 10 days the projector was back and working good as new. Cannot praise Viewsonic customer service highly enough. Fantastic.

Worked well for a while and then suddenly the light turned off and no longer comes on.. expensive and very disappointing

Muito bom, vale a pena !

Ich hatte - als VW T6 California Camper und als Wohnwagen Camper - lange überlegt, ob nicht so ein portabler Beamer interessant sein könnte! Letzte Woche habe ich mir dann aufgrund der super Rezensionen ein Herz gefasst und diesen Beamer bei Amazon bestellt! Und was soll ich sagen, ich bin schwer begeistert von der Bildqualität und Helligkeit der Projektion, von dem durchdachten, schicken Design und von der Kompaktheit und vom Qualitätseindruck/der Verarbeitung!!! Dann die lange Akku-Laufzeit und die Abspielmöglichkeit so vieler Formate und dann auch noch guter Klang in Anbetracht der Größe des Gerätes - Einfach klasse und unschlagbar für den Preis!Ich hatte mir dazu noch eine 60" Leinwand besorgt: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01N3C6YDH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1Diese Leinwand lässt sich bei meinem Wohnwagen (Eriba Nova 392 von 2002) genau zwischen die oberen Schränke leicht und trotzdem sicher einspannen. Und schon habe ich im Wohnwagen echtes Kino-Feeling, in kürzester Zeit aufgebaut. Dann habe ich gestern den Beamer am Kopfende meiness Bettes aufgestellt und an die Decke einen Film (zuvor auf die lokale Festplatte kopiert) projeziert - wollte nur kurz testweise ausprobieren und war so hin und weg, dass ich den Film trotz fortgeschrittener Stunde unvernünftiger Weise zu Ende anschauen mußte...Also volle Kaufempfehlung von mir. Wenn das Gerät noch langfristig funktioniert (die LED soll ja 30.000 Stunden halten!!!), dann sind sogar 5 Sterne zu wenig ;-)

Outstanding, this thing really is a GREAT device, finally a keeper.I was looking for a portable little projector and I started with the RtTech little cube which is actually not bad at all except for the fact that the image is not focused on the whole screen at once, either left or right side is blurry, so it went back. Next came the Toumei, brighter image, but unnatural colors, no adjustment possible, could not connect wirelessly to Android phone, gone back. Aaxa M5, bad co,ors, bad remote, gone back.And so I get to this one, I was debating between the more expensive Xgimi and Nebula, but I thought that Viewsonic has been doing this for a longer time so they should have a better product, so they may have a product with the controls that I want for the image. And it does, this one has a normal UI, not the cheap Chinese nonsense, I get 80" from about 6' away, but no zoom, automatic Keystone but manual focus, not the end of the world.The speaker is superb, at par with a Sonos One, or very close.All in all, it is a great product, a little more luminance wouldn't hurt, but it has a very good image. Now I just have to find the friends to go party and watch movies at the edge of a forest as they show in all the pictures, sadly none were included. Realistically, I bought this to watch movies or YouTube in my backyard under the gazebo, can't wait to install my retractable screen for it. Next project, mosquitos control products.

L'image est parfaite pour mon usage, regarder des films et jouer à la Switch.Le manque de définition se fait sentir sur les petits caractères en jeu, en revanche pas de problème concernant les sous-titres. Aucun problème aussi, concernant la qualité de l'image au global.Le son délivré par le vidéoprojecteur, est suffisamment puissant pour être vraiment utilisable.Niveau batterie, autour de 2h40 en usage normal.Il faut l'utiliser dans un pièce bien sombre.Au final, c'est un produit bien conçu, il fait bien ce à quoi il est destiné.Il ne conviendra pas pour de la bureautique par son manque de définition, ou un usage quotidien par son manque de luminosité. Mais l'autonomie et le son sont très bon. Pour avoir un système multimédia portatif, il est parfait.

preso da amazon warehouse arrivato perfetto ( solo confezione un po' rovinata ) ha superato le aspettative in quanto a luminosità ; in un ufficio in piena luce si riesce comunque a vedere , con un minimo di penombra e proiettato a 3 mt risulta praticamente perfetto. Audio molto efficiente , testato con collegamento hdmi e usb 3.1 fino a risoluzione full hd funziona benissimo
