Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Alright, so I took my time and got to learn this baby, let me tell you about this thing. First things first, this is an example of "almost" false advertising, you see it say "maximum resolution: 1920x1080", and that is true, the maximum resolution it can TAKE IN, NOT PROJECT is 1920x1080. Now me as a college student ignorant about lighting and projection saw 1920x1080 and said, "this a steal!" and bought it. After buying and messing around with it, I really discovered what was going on. For one, maximum resolution and native resolution are 2 different things. max is what it can take in, native is what it can put out. So yeah, you guessed it, this thing takes high quality video game, movie, and computer images and downgrades them to a measly 320x240 , that's not even better than the gamecubes quality, never mind any console from the 2000's up. So if you're looking for a steal, you sir, ma'am, person, have come to the wrong place. Now don't get me wrong, this thing does what it says it will do, and it does it well! It really is quite a quiet machine (if you use the audio cables, if you turn up the volume, it has an annoying buzzing sound while it plays audio), and the projection is fairly bright. In a fairly dim room, you can see the screen just fine. Along with that, this truly is a gaming projector, it has minimal lag, if you stare long and hard enough, you'll see the tiniest bit, and in a fast-paced game like Mario or Need for Speed, it isn't noticeable unless you're a hardcore gamer (I would define myself as such) and even then, it won't slow you down much. And it is as they say, this thing can get a really wide projection, i haven't found a wall big enough but it can easily span a clear projection with a 5 foot diagonal for my dorm room. And you know, if you're a retro gamer, anything gamecube quality or worse will play GREAT on this machine, believe it! But don't expect anything better out of this, it is a 320x240 projector. Me, I am a retro gamer (if you can call the gamecube retro) so I am not going to go storming back demanding my money. That said, I don't want you to do what I did and mock all my friends for buying $400 TV's, saying I'm going to get a projector that can do just as good a picture as yours can and then find out what it really does. Especially since I have to figure how I'm going to throw that story under the rug.... :/ Still, I gave 2 out of 5 stars because I wanted people to read the reviews and see what was wrong with this console, or at least not be deceived by it's sneaky placement of facts. They could've simply said "displays crisp 320x240 pixel image, good for retro gamers!!" and the people it attracted would be happy with their purchase. But now they have guys like me typing this review instead going to class which starts in like 15 minutes, and I still haven't done the homework for it yet.... So with that I end it here. But one last thing, if your looking for a good projector, less than 150, then there must be a problem or something about it you haven't seen yet. And remember, NATIVE RESOLUTION IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR, NOT MAXIMUM RESOLUTION. Now have a wonderful day and please pray I'm not late for class and that my teacher is not checking homework today.
