Be VERY careful here, solid information is sorely lacking. I find ads all over the place on EBAY & Craigslist. The high msrp is huge red flag. Noted features are laughable, such as "Advanced Manual Zoom". And it includes NTSC tuners? WOW! We went to ATSC tuners 3 years ago, NTSC is dead!!

I could go on but I've seen enough to convince me that it is another piece of Chinese JUNK, as in "White Van Scam".

In most of these ads, when they say 1080p it only means it can accept a 1080p signal. Many of them are 800x600 native resolution. That name and many others are the white van speaker equivalent. I see them come up in Edmonton Kijiji frequently and I hope people buying projectors would do some due diligence before buying one of those.

Your spelling and grammar leave a lot to be desired. Having seen your other posts, I can only conclude that you were not in a good frame of mind (and that's being kind) when you wrote this post. And your cursing is completely unwarranted, most unwelcome and completely distracts from what you are trying to say.

You don't want to hear about "White Van Scam"? Fine, don't come here singing praises about equipment that could have been made by Fisher-Price.

And what is this about "different colored vans"? Come on, all you have to do is Google "White Van Scam. The vans do NOT have to be white, it is a label that has been earned for some time.

IF Polk and Infinity ARE being sold out of the backs of vans, they're not junk, they're STOLEN!!

I don't believe anyone said ALL LED-based projectors are junk.

And you really have NO clue as to the actual cost of manufacture. You want to be the cheerleader for this junk, fine. Do it somewhere else. The rest of us have experience and intelligence to recognize bad specs when we see it.

'Nuff said.

Hey everyone,

I spoke with a seller on Ebay, along with a recent buyer. The Seller is here in the US and told me about the projector. the Na-10. I recently have purchased one on Ebay and currently am waiting its arrival. I asked the seller a few questions, dealing with the specifications since the box said one thing but the text on their listing said another. The seller responded saying that the manual that comes with the projector says something else. He also did say that the projector works very well in 1080p that they are using. I also spoke with a buyer who bought the same thing as I am which included the Na-10LED Projector, the 80in screen, the ceiling mount, and hdmi cable for about $400. He runs a business here in the states for MMA fighting and also martial arts. He told me his expierence with the projector for his uses. They use the projector for broadcasts of MMA Fights that they show. He said to me the only problems he had, were that the screen of 80inches was too small, because he wanted a bigger image. He ended up blowing up the image he said around 200inches and said it looked great. He also said the build in speaker in the projector isn't very good. ( That was to be expected, and most of us will be using some other sort of speaker system) According to the USPS my projector and all its goodies should be here on Monday March 4th. I work until the evenings, so I don't know if I will have a chance to set it all up and test it. But I will respond here by next weekend (Between March 8-10th) with my thoughts and I will also include pictures.

Thanks

Hey John. Sorry to burst your bubble but this is a very sub Par projector. There is no other way to put it you. You will see a mammoth chicken wire/ screen door effect. These type single screen projectors have been around for years. LED is the latest buzz word being used by people trying to shlep these off on the uneducated public. This is classic white van scam material. If you are in anyway impressed by this you should be thunderstruck when you watch a real 3 LCD or DLP projector in action.

Bohanna

BTW I just went onto Ebay and as I suspected they are using a SINGLE 480x640 Panel. Sorry Dude. If you can get your money Back I would do it

It's a bit late on that one, since it should be according to tracking information to my house tomorrow. I am quite disappointed to hear that, but I guess you get what you pay for *sigh* Thankfully, I am only using the projector in my bedroom. I had a nice tv and stand, but my room was too small for all of it. I was going to mount the tv, but the only wall that I could even think about mounting it to, the other side was the shower, and we weren't quite sure about the stability of the wall. Since we are renting the house, which was built in the 50s were kind of weary if the wall in between my room and the shower may have any dampness to it, so that's why I decided against that. And I believe I know what you mean by the chicken wire look. When I was in college I had used a ZoomBox projector as my tv and it had that effect at a distance.

Either way, I will still provide my thoughts and pictures and such, this way at least it will give others more of a heads up. :-/

I actually bought one about a year ago. I previously purchased the digital galaxy projectors because they are inexpensive and bulbs are cheap to replace. This projector blows the other ones I had away with resolution, color and brightness. Keep in mind the 3d element is only for the blue/green glasses and not the real 3d experience. I am very happy with my purchase.

Actually, it's still not too late. You have a minimum of 30 days to return anything purchased through eBay with paypal. Regardless of if they say "no returns". This projector is clearly a white van scam, so reporting to eBay they should also warn or ban the scam seller. If you look on craigslist, you will find this same (or others that look nearly identical) projector under several other names such as "Bernelli". They all list 3k-5k msrp and are all scams.

Since this is the first result that shows up in google now when searching "napali projector", OP or mod may want to change the thread title to include "White Van Scam" or the first line of OP to "THIS IS A SCAM PRODUCT" so that other people looking on craigslist, etc and then searching on google will see this in the title of the first search result. Maybe it would save a few people from throwing their money to scammers.

RLBURNSIDE- no need to be a jerk. I merely gave my opinion on MY purchase. I do not need a high end projector for my needs. And no I have nothing to do with the selling of these projectors.
