Vivitek Qumi Q5-RD review

A portable but robust projector

Comes with carry bag ; MHL Support for MHL-enabled devices ; Comes with Wi-fi dongle

No 3D projection ; Wi-fi dongle not pre-installed ; No streaming content over Wi-fi or USB

The Vivitek Qumi Q5-RD is small, compact and a little too basic. Overall, this projector is perfect for very basic needs. It's ideal in size and weight, and as long as you are using the direct inputs, the Qumi Q5-RD is a great choice. If you want...

Vivitek Qumi Q5 projector

Ex-Hollyoaks stars Matt Littler and Darren Jeffries took to the wrestling ring to showcase some top tech, including the Vivitek Qumi Q5 projector. With a 500 lumens brightness and full HD quality, does this deserve a place in your stocking? Hit play to...

Vivitek Qumi Q5

The Vivitek Qumi Q5 is a handsome, highly portable, DLP-based LED projector with a good range of connection choices.

Compact and lightweight. Stylish. Good port selection. 4GB of internal memory. Solid text quality in our tests.

Shows scaling artifacts at native resolution. Subpar video, with rainbow artifacts and poor dynamic range. Dim for its rated brightness when projecting video. Feeble audio.

Conclusion The Q5 is a bit smaller and lighter than the InFocus LightPro IN1146 , our Editors' Choice LED-based WXGA projector. Both projectors have a similar set of connection choices, except that the InFocus IN1146 adds an SD card slot. The IN1146,...

Vivitek Qumi Q5 Review

Even with its colorful branding, the Vivitek Qumi Q5 manages to be one of the rare projectors equally suited for work and play. With its value price tag and consistent image quality, the Q5 is a versatile projector option for home and business users.

The Qumi Q5’s steady brightness and image quality make it usable in bright and dark viewing environments.

Vivitek doesn’t include a microSD card slot on the projector.

With its small dimensions and consistent visual fidelity, the Qumi Q5 is a strong option for home or business users.

Small and light, bright and sharp, easy to use

No SD card slot. Not cheap

The advantages of the Pico DLP not only give us smaller and lighter protectors that we can carry in a small gear bag or purse, but also prolong the life and usage time thanks to the LED technology. The Vivitek Qumi Q5 claims 30K hours of life and...

Good Projector HORRIBLE Customer Service

I have the Qumi Q2 as well and decided to spring for the Q5 as it is incredibly portable and provides a good image in a shaded area. If I had known that customer service was going to be this bad, I would have opted for one of the other competing...

Very compact ; Good image ; Easy Setup ; Variety of connection options

The item came with a broken power supply. I phoned them to get a replacement. They promptly forgot and I had to contact them again to get the replacement power supply sent to me ; After a year, the internal storage memory failed ; I tried to contact...

Well Designed Projector

It works just as described. The size is great for a portable projector. Takes some getting used to when using powerpoint slides. They don't view the same as on the monitor.

Easy to use ; Love The Built In Apps
