Question 1

I have a Acer C120 with usb input only and the drivers do not work with windows 10.  I see the K132 has a HDMI input.  Will the K132 work with a windows 10 pc?

Accepted Answer

I can't say I've tried it but I know it worked for Windows 8 and it's basically functioning as a tv so it should be fine.

Question 2

how big is this projector?

Accepted Answer

According to this product page on the specifications tab:

Dimensions: 1.6" x 5.5" x 4.6" (H x W x D).

Question 3

I noticed that this projector displayed 600 lumens.  How does that compare to the older projectors 3000 lumens?  Is the LED 600 as bright as the older bulbs with 3000?

Accepted Answer

600 lumens is obviously less than 2000-3000 lumens of larger projectors.  Where this comes into play is if you need to have the lights on in the room while you're using the projector.  The image becomes light and washed out.  With only 600 lumens, you MUST have a minimum of a partially darkened room.  Ideally, fully darkened.   So if you want it for brightly lit rooms or presentations, then a brighter projector with 2000 or more lumens would be significantly better.

The other thing to keep in mind is that this is a VERY portable projector.   So you can throw it into your laptop bag.  You couldn't do that with a traditional sized projector.

The third thing to consider is that it uses an LED bulb. So the longevity of the projector is great.

The final thing that I needed was to be able to mount this small projector on a tripod, so I didn't have to worry about correct placement on a table or desk.  With a tripod, you can perfectly align the image.

Hope this helps.

Question 4

Is this comparable to a m271x?

Accepted Answer

I don't these two projectors are comparable. Off the bat they are two different projector for two different things. K132 has 600 lumens. i don't own a m271x, but the specs state that is 2700 lumens. On flip side the K132 has 10000:1 contrast ratio, while m271x is only a mere 3000:1. All of these spec questions I think you can compare and answer for yourself. Again, I haven't seen an m271x in action, so I can't comment on the comparabilties. That being said, the K132 offers a clean and crisp picture for me projecting on a white matte 8' 16x9 screen playing Blu ray movies. And I've gone through a few LED projector before returning to the K132 for price and quality, it's hard to beat. I think too many people get hung up over lumens and neglect contrast ratios, which is actually the feature that is going to delivery a deep clean picture. Lumens matters too, but you can only turn up the brightness so much before washing out the picture. Do I wish the K132 to have a bit more features yes, always, but for the price and picture quality, it's hard to beat. And it's 3D ready. Good luck.

Question 5

Sorry this may sound silly but does digital zoom mean you can do it from the remote as well as the focus?

Accepted Answer

Correct, it's a setting in the menu; you can do it manually on the projector or from the remote.

Question 6

Is it new or refurbished?
