Great Little Projector!

We purchased this projector for our confidence monitor on the back wall of our church. It took all of about 5 minutes to set it up...the image was crystal clear and much brighter than the projector that had failed. We are extremely happy with our purchase of this product!

Doesn’t disapoint

This is the 3rd View Sonic I have bought. When time came around to replace the aging workhorse projector in my production studio, I was seduced by all the new led projector brands with extraordinary specs. I bought 2 and returned both. Somehow their 4K video / 5000 lumens was not as bright, as clear or as distinct as a View Sonic’s HD/ 3600 lumens. Their keystone correction was nearly useless, there was no physical zoom ring to frame the image to the screen, and neither of them could really clearly project at 20’ distance the way the View Sonic can. They lacked signal-on sensing, they couldn’t do pass through audio... in short they fell far short of the prosumer features standard on the ViewSonic. So I returned home to ViewSonic. The projector is not 4K, but for me, that is not an issue, the HD video is plenty clear and resolved. The projector works perfectly. As for the purchase experience from B&H, this is the second professional purchase I have made this spring from B&H, choosing them for superior turnaround, and responsiveness. Bth delicate pieces of tech were well packed, arrived quickly, were clearly brand new and worked perfectly out of the box. ViewSonic and B&H don’t disapoint.

Will this project the image and activity on my computer screen while I demonstrate what I am doing a process in Photoshop to a group of artists?

Yes, the PA503X comes equipped with an HDMI input that can be used to mirror or extend your computer screen. Your computer must have an HDMI output or you would need an adaptive cable depending on your computer.
