Mitsubishi PK20 Pocket Projector.......2007-05-29

Just far too few lumens for room use. May be helpful for desktop use, but then you have to carry a portable desktop screen. I returned it.

Very handy but handicapped..........2007-05-12

This portable projector has proven itself extremely handy for small group presentations in small confined spaces. I have used it with the PC for Powerpoint presentations, with the DVD player and even tried it out with home theater equipment. It isn't quoted as one of the most luminous projectors, obviously. Perhaps the trade-off is with its portability. If that's what you want, this is it! If you need light, because you do your presentations in semi-dark environments, you will need a stronger projector.

Looking back, I should have bought something less portable but with more power for the same price, since I do a lot of classroom work.

Great projector but smaller picture size than dimmer PK-20.......2007-04-30

Purchased and returned 2 of these. I own a PK-10 which is supposed to be same unit ony dimmer. PK-10 will focus at up to a 120" picture size. This projector will only focus up to 60". I know that literature says that max size is 60" but so does literature for PK-10. Even though this unit is brighter and should be able to produce a better picture at 120" it will not as it is unable to focus at this size as dimmer PK-10 can.

One word of warning, Mitsubishi tech support informed me that this projector along with the PK-10 is disposeable. Nothing within projector including LED module is repairable or replaceable even at service center or factory.

As all the info on this projector states that picture size should not exceede 60" I cannot rate down for that. If you are looking for a small LED projector that will project 60-120" then look for a now discontinued PK-10 - however I would suggest only buying new and get an extended warranty due to the lack of replaceability of parts in this projector.

Simply amazing..........2007-03-09

If you find this unit at a reasonable price, especially with the battery attachment, nab it. You'll be the envy of all who see it. I'd give this unit 4.5 stars.

Pros:
- no need to replace lamp (ever)...this feature is worth the price of the projector alone
- amazingly small
- 7'x5' (or smaller) image
- simple menus
- tripod mountable makes it very portable & easy to adjust size & position
- excellent for DVD movies
- project image on walls (don't need the hassle of having a screen)
- very silent
- auto shut-off if no signal detected

Cons:
- can't adjust size of the picture to fit screen, except by moving unit
- Lights overwhelm the picture
- no standby mode...will not turn on automatically if signal detected
- pain to fit to a screen

Wishlist
- more powerful/multiple LED
- more adjustments

Do not buy.......2007-03-03

I own this projector and I give it a rating zero however 1 is the lowest I can go. Do not buy.
