I purchase this item for company use base upon the review I read here . this unit exceed we expectation . keep in mind that I be review a new product -lrb- 1 month old -rrb- so I can not speak to durability . however , the unit seem well build by today 's standard and everything work well out of the box . the upside that we have so far observe be as follow : the unit be very easy to set up . it need almost no preparation to start show dvd . as for connect we computer , I use the provide VGA cable and it immediately recognize my computer . the picture be amazingly clear , even in a light room . -lrb- we be not aware that this be a hdmus capable unit . we will not necessarily be use that function anytime soon , but it be worth note -rrb- . the dvd play nicely and be easy to control . we recently have a problem with a dvd in a important presentation , which be why we begin look to upgrade . I wish we have this unit at that time ! the internal sound be exceptional ! we primary presentation room be 45 ' x 100 ' , and we do not even need to turn the unit all the way up for everyone to hear the presentation loud and clear . it automatically play the sound from dvd , but if we run sound through a computer we need to hook up a audio cable which we have to purchase separately for $ 14.00 . the sound quality from dvd be superior to the sound quality from the computer . we have not use the microphone function , so I can not comment on that feature . the other feature I like be these ; easy remote control , the slide lens cover be build in rather than separate , screen balance function allow for a nice `` in proportion '' picture , the fan be pretty quiet , and dual front leg rather than just one . the price although not cheap , be acceptable and fall within we budget . the only downside observe be that the provide carry case be a little flimsy . it be not bad , but it be not that good either . I highly recommend this product for small to medium multi-media presentation . P.S. I have come back now to add to my review . this projector continue to work flawlessly even though other office group constantly borrow it . it be hold up well and it have eliminate previous presentation problem we have encounter with we previous projector . we have also add the microphone , both wire and wireless -lrb- purchase from Radio Shack -rrb- . they work really well , but note we need to also purchase a adapter to size down from 1\/4 '' standard jack to 1\/8 '' computer size so these mic will fit into the projector . P.P.S. another return to add to my review . I be so pleased with this machine that I just buy another one . this one arrive with a cord microphone include . this be unexpected and I think that be pretty cool .
