System Experience | Setting up the projector was relatively straightforward, and I was able to get it up and running without too much hassle. However, I did encounter some issues with the PJLink implementation. The responses from the projector come back in lowercase, which is not standard and can lead to compatibility problems with some PJLink controllers. I found myself needing to submit patches to the open-source controllers to address this issue, which was a bit frustrating, especially since not all patches were accepted. |
User Feedback
Pros:• Good price point
• Arrived in good condition
• Satisfactory image quality for presentations
• Suitable for educational settings
Cons:
• Shipping delay and vague communication from the seller
• PJLink implementation issues with lowercase responses
• Previous model had a shorter lifespan with a fan motor issue
Overall Impression:
In summary, while the projector has delivered good performance and value for the money, there are some areas that could be improved, particularly in terms of communication from the supplier and the PJLink compatibility. Despite these drawbacks, it has served our school well and, with some adjustments, can continue to be a reliable tool for presentations.
