ViewSonic PRO8500 XGA DLP Projector - 120Hz/3D Ready 5000 Lumens 3000:1 DCR
The ViewSonic Pro8500 replaced a 5-yr old Epson 50c (1000 lumens). It is used in a church sanctuary with clear windows on the sides letting in bright sunlight. Its first use generated many compliments. The image was clear and the whites ar particularly bright. The fan was also quieter than the previous projector. The projector will be used for Powerpoint and DVD videos. I haven't tested hi-def or 3D.
Some menu items described in the user manual were missing (like the option to choose your own startup screen), but I found all the functions that I needed. ViewSonic Tech Support suggested that I try a new cable for the missing menu items. Of course that made no difference, then they said they would contact me within 48 hrs., which they did not. So I wouldn't expect good service, but the projector itself performed well. It was the brightest (5000 lumens) projector I found at a relatively low price.
