 Just one complaint July 17, 2010
L. Reel
I've been using it for two months so far. Setup consisted of connecting to the computer with the supplied VGA cord and then adjusting the focus with the focus knob, so it was just about as easy as using a monitor. I've enjoyed the picture quality during webbrowsing, even though I'm just projecting onto a somewhat textured wall, and the 800x600 resolution makes me do more scrolling than usual. From about 10 feet away, the picture is about four feet wide.
My one complaint is that it emits a lot of heat and some smell, so I won't use it in a bedroom with a closed door.

The ES522 has got to be the best projector in its price range. It is easy to use and provides a crisp image with very good color. At 2800 lumens there is no need to darken the room.
An amazing piece of cinematic tech! December 31, 2009

I was waiting with great anticipation for this projector and let me tell you how satisfied I am with my purchase. Please don't think I'm pulling you leg because this little bundle of joy is everything and a bad of chips!
First of all, it's extremely light weight and is super easy to operate. The operational buttons on the device enable you to adjust the settings and the manual focus feature, although low tech, works smoothly. The biggest surprise was the picture quality and the ability to change from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratios. As for the picture and color quality, that's dependant on the video source you decided to connect to the projector. For example, I connected my laptop to the device and the picture quality was great. I didn't experience any picture compression or letter distortion. I can't tell you how much fun it is to run HD You Tube video's on my wall. I then connected an old DVD player it but the picture quality wasn't as good as my 1080pi HD television. However, I did connect a new DVD player that I picked up for $55 dollars that converts standard DVD movies to almost 1080pi picture quality. The picture quality was off the hook and I couldn't believe the immenseness of the picture this small device could project. I have a moderately sized 1 bedroom apartment and let me tell you, I was able to generate a 130 inch screen without making my Optoma sweat. Keep in mind this projector can also be connected to any HD cable receiver or HD player via component cables. You'll need to purchase a Component to VGA adapter to accomplish this which can be purchased through Optoma or right here on Amazon.
In conclusion, there are many projectors out there that can range from really cheap to really expensive. You'll also find projectors that range from being user friendly to needing a PHD in computer science to figure out. This small yet mighty project is the happy medium. It's reasonably priced and has all the features of your really expensive brands and models. I sincerely can't say enough about this projector other than hurry up and buy it.

This projector is an awesome deal. I have had it now for 3 months. It runs quiet. It is small, compact, and light. It has a bright display with great resolution and great contrast. I have had three projectors and this one has definitely been my favorite. You can't beat the price either. Good luck finding another projector that is new at the same price with the same specs.
