The software is included on a CD with the projector, although there's currently no Mac version.

Once you've installed the software from the CD, a small taskbar appears on your desktop and automatically attempts to connect to the projector. It asks for a login code, which is displayed by the projector for a couple of minutes after you switch it on. This also shows the projector's SSID and IP address in case you need it.

Once connected, your desktop is automatically mirrored and displayed by the projector. The only flaw is that it you have to manually change your screen resolution to 1,024x768 for the best quality; non-native resolutions make text look distinctly fuzzy. Bear in mind, too, that you'll forgo wireless internet access while your laptop is connected to the projector, so it isn't much good if you need to show your audience live websites.

The utility - oddly named Wireless Connection 3 - provides two options: high speed or high resolution. The latter is the best choice for PowerPoint presentations or any other demonstration where you want the best quality. High speed is designed for videos, although we never saw smooth playback even with very low-resolution clips. We'd estimate it managed around 15-20fps, but it wasn't simply jerky motion that made the videos unwatchable, it was the horizontal tearing that meant there were split seconds where half of the previous frame and half of the current frame were visible.

I think he was using an HD source in that picture. It's tough to get good pictures of video on projectors so just keep that in mind.
post #332 of 875
Lol yes i always use hd source (but compressed), my camera is a little old, not precise as reality.
You can see my A/V receiver is not precise on the pic, so you can think the picture in the screen will not be sharp ^^ (but it is in fact).

Another cool pic:

And congratulations for USA soccer team, the match was very good against UK

post #335 of 875
nice pics cfcmoon. what do you think about black levels of the projector
post #336 of 875
Good, black is black. The difference between levels of black are more difficult to have, but it's not a high end projector, it's normal i think.
I saw germany vs australia (it was fantastic), and i found my best settings i think: theatre mode with red -10 green 0 blue +7.
I have 428 hours, using time.
post #337 of 875
cfcmoon, if I only use for watching dvd, a-130 is good enough to project 100 -150' screen?
post #338 of 875
80-100 inches but no more, if you want more you need the 240.
The xj-a130 have 2000 lumens (theorical) max in fact less. In eco2 it will be between 600 and 700 lumens (real) i think.
The 240 have 2500 lumens (theorical) max and in eco 2, 800 lumens (real).
But if you can tolerate more sound in eco1 (eco 1 sound is strong but 35 db it is possible with a strong home cinema movies sound behind lol), you will can increase screen size. Full mode is ... Impossible to tolerate lol (or in a street perhaps ^^).

Great pics. Have you done any adjustments? Picture looks a little soft and maybe brightness could be turned down a little?
post #351 of 875
I'm sorry my poor english, but I will try to explain
No, I have not done any adjustments.
The photos are a little saturated and brilliant, maybe 15 to 20 %, because the digital camera does it automatically, but the appearance of the photos is very similar to the projection.
I have taken the photos with a digital camera Casio exilim, to 50 ISO and disconnected the automatic light.
The focus it changes from scene to scene, depends much on the quality of the projected movie

Hola Orlando, te consulto, recomendarias este proyector para ver pelis, el contraste y los negros que tal son ? GRACIAS
post #354 of 875
Yo recommando ese proyector para pelis sin problema, pero es importante de ajustar bien todo (colores/luz/contraste).
Cuando lo utilizas por la primera vez puedes ver que todo es mal arreglado, ademas hay que esperar 300 horas para tener las verdaderas colores (el laser azul necesita tiempo etc).
Los negros son bien negros, estan bien, talvez es dificil de tener todos los niveles de negros, pero el negro es bueno.

Mis ultimas imegenes fueron borradas grrr, no suerte.
Se ve en las fotos de orlando1946 que no es arreglado como las mias.
post #355 of 875
Es el primer proyector que tengo y no tengo experiencia en la calibración y en la parte tecnica, pero me parece un buen proyector para HDTV, peliculas, presentaciones. Lo recomiendo.
