 Poor Customer Service August 25, 2010
J. Morrison
I've had my projector for 4 months, and the color on HDMI port 1 has gone out. The color on port 2 still works fine, but I can't get a response from customer service. Also, sometimes when I start the projector the bulb doesn't turn on for several minutes. Other times it starts up instantly. I can't find any information about whether this is normal, but again, customer service won't respond. They only provide an online form and no actual phone number. It's been more than 30 days since I sent my first service request, and haven't received an email even confirming that they received my service request. BAD BAD BAD
 A Great Product to have July 29, 2010

I got this just before the world cup. A bit skeptical due to the rainbow effect that I read in other reviews...but have to say, once i got the product...there is nothing like it. The picture clarity is amazing. (With Blue ray as well as HD comcast channels). Fan sound is very low. Brightness is great - I even watch games during the day and it is still looking great. Never felt any Rainbow effects.
TO summarize, i feel this is a great projector for the price. Love my decision to buy this!!
Premature shutdown July 26, 2010

Tried 2 of these. First one would shut down after 40 minutes or so with the power light blinking 5 times. Found out that was code for bulb approaching end of life. Tried to contact support at Vivitek and didn't hear anything for a week so decided to send it back (which Amazon is excellent about), and try another one. I had the new one from Amazon within 2 days. Set it up again using all default settings and 40 minutes or so through a movie it shut down, just as on the previous unit. Turn it on again and it would run about 15 minutes and shut down again. All default settings and projector was out in the open with nothing to block ventilation. Decided to give up and sent it back (again Amazon's return policy is super) and try a different brand. Won't buy a Vivitek again.
 Great Value June 24, 2010

As my first projector, I ignored the hype surrounding the 3d noise that's out right now and instead focused on 1080p. My only real mistake was not fully understanding the throw depth and what size image it projects. With a better understanding of that, I may have picked a different projector given how limited my projection distance is (12 feet). The Epson moviemate 720, for example, has a shorter throw (better zoom) which would have allowed me to get the full wall filled in my basement.
With that - I'll say the projector has met expections. I'm projecting on a brown (leatherish) colored wall and even during the day - the image is pretty good (not the best lighting in the basement). At night, it's really great. I have yet to hook up a blue ray or any other signal similar yet so I'm expecting even great things. I did have an issue while watching a movie where people's faces were quite a bit red at certain angles. Not sure if that's the rainbow effect but I played with the color settings and improved things somewhat.
Overall - it's super quiet and the built in speaker is very handy. I haven't mounted it yet either so I'm not fully ready to give me final thoughts.
Hope this helps!
Broke after 2 weeks June 14, 2010

This projector was great for 2 weeks. Then trouble started. The projector will shut down after 50 to 80 minutes into the movie. The screen goes blank, the power button flashes and fan comes on full blast. If I leave it, the fan will stay on forever. If I power down and restart, the projector shuts down after 5 minutes or so. Some kind of overheating problem? I was extremely disappointed!
Contacted Vivitek and all they can do is to repair it. It's within the warranty period, so I won't have to pay for the repair. But I'll still have to pay $20 or so to ship it to them. Why do I have to pay anything for receiving a defective item? I'm already being inconvenienced with the hassel of having to return it. I guess that's how they handle warranty service.
The silver lining to all this is that Amazon replaced the defective projector for a new one. I didn't have to pay a cent, even for returning. They also shipped the new one to me right away, and didn't wait until I return the old one. Good job by Amazon! I was without a projector for only about 2 days.
