ViewSonic PJ501 3 Panel LCD Proj 400:1 1500 Lumens 800x600 150w UHB Lamp Review
by Richard Jantz
Fairly inexpensive model complicates focusing and produces somewhat blurry text.
The low-cost ($1795) ViewSonic PJ-501 had the same problems in
displaying XGA-resolution images that the other SVGA-resolution projectors we
evaluated in April 2003 did. Its text screens, for instance, were noticeably
blurrier than those from competing XGA-resolution units. The task of adjusting
the projector's lens is unnecessarily tedious because you can easily reach only
part of the recessed lens' zoom and focus rings. The ample cable bundle
includes all of the video and audio connectors required for everything from
multimedia presentations to home entertainment. On the other hand, the remote
doesn't support cursor control, and it lacks a laser
pointer.UPSHOT: The budget-priced ViewSonic PJ-501 is best for presenters using SVGA notebooks who also want to show occasional movies at home.

Strengths: Price! Ease of use and versatility.
Weaknesses: This projector doesn't have DVI hook-ups but does have component.
Overall Evaluation: I have been using this projector for my home theater. I don't even have a screen and the picture looks great. This projector has great specs but seeing is believing and this is a great projector for the price!
