In a world where home theater setups are often complicated and expensive, the Promethean PRM-35 short-throw projector presents an intriguing option. With its 2500 ANSI lumens brightness and 1280x800 resolution, it promises a vibrant viewing experience without the need for a massive room. But does it deliver on those promises, or is it just another projector lost in the sea of mediocrity?
This device claims to combine portability with performance, boasting features like a filter-free design and compatibility with both PC and Mac. However, is a projector that weighs just under 6 pounds really capable of providing the cinematic experience we crave? In this review, we'll explore whether the PRM-35 is a game-changer for casual movie nights or just a budget-friendly option for those willing to compromise on quality. Let's dive in and see if it truly stands out in a crowded market.
Hey everyone,
I’m looking into getting the Promethean PRM-35 Short-Throw DLP Home Theater Projector and would love some advice from anyone who has experience with it.
How’s the picture quality? I see it has a brightness of 2500 ANSI Lumens and a contrast ratio of 2000:1, but I’m curious about how it performs in different lighting conditions, especially in a home theater setup. Is the native resolution of 1280x800 sufficient for a good viewing experience, especially for movies and gaming?
Also, I’m wondering about the sound quality. It mentions built-in speakers, but do they provide a decent audio experience, or would I need to invest in an external sound system?
I appreciate the portability and the fact that it’s compatible with both PC and MAC, but are there any downsides I should be aware of? For instance, how’s the manual focus and digital zoom in practice?
Thanks in advance for your insights! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
