Quite useful, despite its limited brightness.......2007-06-01

I originally bought this to use when meeting with clients. Of course, I have the same problem with brightness that every one else does, but I always try to use extremely contrasting colors and HUGE TEXT, so my slides are still surprisingly readable, so long as the ceiling lights closest to the screen are switched off.

I did stumble upon an unusual use for this gadget: It's a handy way to check for proper VGA output on notebooks booting Ubuntu Linux (or whatever my alternate-OS-of-the-month happens to be) off a Live-CD before purchasing. Whipping out the PP + battery + VGA cable sure beats hunting for a spare LCD monitor + extra AC socket at the shops. The raised eyebrows, turned heads and curious questions don't hurt either.

I also connect this to an old VGA TV tuner and a pair of cheap PC speakers for a poor man's bedroom home theater system, which is good enough for at least the nightly news with the lights out.

Little Projector - Big Fun!.......2007-05-14

This projector is really fun, I have used it for presentations at work functions and at home. The projector is easy to set up and use. The drawbacks are as follows; it doesnt have the resolution that higher priced and much larger projectors have, and for best results the room must be very dark. In the end I would recommend this projector for anyone who wants their projector to be easily mobile,and or just for fun. Lastly this projector won't punch you in the wallet as hard as some other projectors could.

Good Buy.......2007-05-12

I was interested in this product at its debut but i wanted to wait for comments and ratings for this product before i purchased it. I am extremely glad that i did eventually buy the pk-10. It works great for my specific needs. I think that if you are looking for a tv projector you will want more power, but if you are in need of a projector for presentations and family events this is definetly it.

WAY too dim for practical use.......2007-05-12

This is a cute and very compact projector, but I think it is mostly a gimmick. It is so dim that the picture is unacceptable everywhere but in a VERY dark room within 4 feet of a highly reflective screen. If you know you'll always be in the dark, and within 4 feet of the screen, and you really need this degree of portability, then this is the projector for you. Otherwise, don't bother, or you'll just end up returning it like I did.

Great HT projector in dim or dark room - WARNING disposable.......2007-04-30

I have one of these set up as a home theater projector in my bedroom. It is projecting a 100" picture at low brightness setting with no problems. Room has to be dark to see picture of that size and absolutely dark for best picture. I have experimented with picture size and it is capible of focusing up to about 120" diaginal, but fairly dim at this size. I purchased a PK 20 expeting it to be same projecor only a bit brighter. Was going to use in living room as a HT projector. Even though it looks the same, it is not the same projector, the focal distance was shortened. Returned twice as it will not focus at over 60". I know that literature says that it is designed for up to 60" but so does the PK-10 which can focus up to 120".

One word of warning. My PK-10's green LED failed after only 502 hours - allways used at low brightness with adequate ventallation. Called Mitsubishi tech support and they informed me that this projector is considered disposable. Nothing within projector (including LED module) is replaceable or repairable even at service center or factory. Projector was still under warranty. Mitsubishi sent me a brand new unit within one week. Great customer service. Hopefully this burn-out was an anomoly as after warranty expires if anything fails, I will sadly be looking for a new projector.
