We bought this projector for use in our community theatre. It was easy for volunteers to use.


5 out of 5 stars Good portable projector for the money   October 25, 2007

XR-40X is a good portable projector for the money. But if you work professionally with the color images, there is a few things you should know.

First, if you use calibrated wide gamut true color display, your computer will assign wide gamut color profile to your projector by default. That will make your photos look really weird on the projection screen! I am talking about very bad posterisation here. But don't panic! All you have to do is to assign a generic sRGB profile to your projector. And if you have a calibrator, such as Eye One Beamer - use it, your projected images will look great!

Second, if your images are moving (Ken Burns effect in the slideshow, or you just want to watch the movie), you may notice some motion-related artifacts. To fix this, set up the highest refresh rate for your projector (for some reason, default setting is only 60 Hz). Stay in sRGB mode, or switch to the Movie mode, doesn't matter. But avoid Presentation (amplified) mode when you watch anything other than pie charts!

And the last thing you should know.. Yes, there is an infamous "DLP rainbow effect". I can see it every time I move my eyes across the screen. But you know what? It's not as bad as with any other DLP projector that I've seen in my life! And my clients have never noticed it. So it's good enough, especially for the price.

However, if you really hate those glittery rainbows, DLP technology is not for you.
