ViewSonic PJD6531w

The ViewSonic PJD6531w is a portable, relatively bright DLP projector with good data and image quality.

3D ready. Three-year warranty. Relatively bright. Solid data and video quality. Good range of input options.

Relatively faint audio. Can’t read files from USB thumb drives.

ViewSonic PJD6531w

The ViewSonic PJD6531w produced a lot of light and had good color performance—after it was calibrated.

ViewSonic PJD6531w

Produced a lot of light and had good color performance… after it was calibrated

Lots of light in presentation mode; Good color accuracy once it’s calibrated

DLP rainbow effect is prominent; Fan is very noisy in most modes

ViewSonic PJD6531w 3-D Short-Throw Projector

If it's still too early to buy a 3-D TV, what's the deal with 3-D projectors?

Follow AskMen on Twitter. Last time you perused flat-screens and plasmas at a box store, how come you didn’t return home with a 60-inch monster to replace that microscopic 30-incher in the living room? You want 3-D, but Samsung’s new lineup of 3-D TVs...

Customer Service?

I have bought plenty of viewsonic products. I have been very satisfied in the past, but this experience has made me down right mad. I don't want to disparage this company but I now will.

Great projector when it works. Infact I broke the first one myself, but I bought a second one because I liked it that much ; Clear picture, plenty of features, and a very bright picture makes for the best experience I have had with a projector

Just call customer service three times to make use of a warranty. Got a person once, but then got disconnected. Tried it again with a different phone just to make sure it wasn't a bad connection. Still no go. Didn't even get a representative that time

Avoid ViewSonic

Two out of two units failed in some way. I can't in good faith recommend this projector to anyone. Nor will I buy another ViewSonic projector in the future. I was also annoyed by the fact that the projector blinks with a blue lite around the power...

This projector has a good number of inputs, including HDMI. The remote is nice and has a built-in laser pointer. The picture is decently bright even in a lit room

The first unit had issues with the onboard controls. The buttons on the remote worked fine, but the buttons on the unit would not respond at all or only responded sometimes. Newegg replaced the unit, no questions asked ; The second unit did not have...
