Justin O. 3/8/2013 11:00:06 AM Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Bright and crisp image This review is from: ViewSonic PRO8500 1024x768 XGA 5000 ANSI Lumens, RJ45 (Crestron LAN Control/Display), HDMI / Dual VGA Inputs, Optional Wireless, 1.5x Wide Optical Zoom, 3D Ready DLP Projector Pros: This puts out an incredibly bright image. The picture is incredible! Ease of use with remote. Network-ability. Cons: It is only black. White option would have been nice. Other Thoughts: It is being used as a permanent mount, video source for a church audio/video install. Utilizing HDMI connectivity, video playback is very impressive. Set it up to throw on a 150" screen. Theater quality video, even with ambient light. Have not used it for 3D. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Kevin U. 7/1/2011 10:31:52 PM Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/53D Buyer Beware! This review is from: ViewSonic PRO8500 1024x768 XGA 5000 ANSI Lumens, RJ45 (Crestron LAN Control/Display), HDMI / Dual VGA Inputs, Optional Wireless, 1.5x Wide Optical Zoom, 3D Ready DLP Projector Pros: 5000 lumens auto-keystone correction Cons: Limited 3D support 120 Hz is only at 1024x768 Other Thoughts: My unit is defective, so some of the issues may be resolved when I receive my replacement, but here are a few observations. This is a bright projector (2D). It has a clean image in 2D. I have plugged both a 3D blu-ray player (Samsung 2011 model)/UVerse cable box and a Dell XPS laptop with an HDMI 1.4 port. I cannot get the unit to display 3D. The glasses sync, but no 3D. Uverse does a top/bottom format. The projector does not have the option to switch to top bottom (like most 3D displays). YOU NEED A $300 unit to convert to something the projector can handle. Blu-ray unit sends a signal that is recognized by the projector, but image is static, multi-colored snow (no-sync). The laptop wants to see a 3D vision kit plugged into it. You shouldn't need one. I tell Arcsoft Totalmedia 5 that I have a 3D DLP ready unit and it sends an image, but the glasses don't sync up correctly. If you are looking for a bright 2D DLP, buy it. If you want 3D, be prepared to spend anoth 1 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Anonymous 5/21/2011 8:07:10 AM Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5light shuts off after 30 sec This review is from: ViewSonic PRO8500 1024x768 XGA 5000 ANSI Lumens, RJ45 (Crestron LAN Control/Display), HDMI / Dual VGA Inputs, Optional Wireless, 1.5x Wide Optical Zoom, 3D Ready DLP Projector Pros: so far there are none Cons: Upon first opening, the light on the unit would shut off after 30 sec. I called tech support at Viewsonic and they said send it back. 0 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Justin V. 2/3/2011 10:07:34 AM Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Solid choice! This review is from: ViewSonic PRO8500 1024x768 XGA 5000 ANSI Lumens, RJ45 (Crestron LAN Control/Display), HDMI / Dual VGA Inputs, Optional Wireless, 1.5x Wide Optical Zoom, 3D Ready DLP Projector Pros: EXTREMELY BRIGHT. This was the main focus behind this purchase - a projector that could be used in a brightly lit room. The 8500 delivers. Color accuracy is also quite good for such a bright unit. Easy to set up, reasonable size, and light enough to carry without breaking your back. Cons: So far none! Other Thoughts: It's hard to find thorough reviews of business-type projectors. Everyone reviews home theater projectors, but 1600 lumens is not enough for use in business. I agonized over options from NEC, Mitsubishi, Infocus, and a couple others, but decided on ViewSonic. The others may be good as well, but I'm totally satisfied with this choice! 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
