| Personal Experience |
| We have two of these projectors and they are light and powerful. The Casio has the lumen output to project very well in a lit, medium sized room and the resolution is high enough that very busy slides project clearly and legibly. I love the 2:1 zoom which makes the projector very flexible. The auto-keyhole correction is nice, but not perfect. We don't need perfect color so I can't comment on color other than to say that it looks pretty good to me. Out of the box there is a difference from the color on the screen to the projected color, but if I cared more, I could adjust the color. The remote is not completely intuitive (I didn't read the manual either), but by poking at it you can figure out how to use it to advance and go to previous slides in Powerpoint. We use it only for powerpoint presentations and some low quality videos so I don't know what it's like for showing higher quality movies, but it's great for busy slides containing lots of numbers and spreadsheets. All in all, this is a very nice projector, reasonably light, with a nice compact carrying case. It cost a tad bit more than we wanted to spend but we felt that it had a good warranty, we could buy it locally, and the replacement lamps are not as expensive as other lamps out there. We really wanted an LCD projector because everything we'd read and heard was that LCD is better for our application (busy presentations, very few videos). However, we chose the Casio because of it's light weight. I don't know about now, but when we bought this projector a few months ago, DLP projectors were the only light weight projectors that cost less than $5K. The Casio XJ-350 has worked well for us. |

| Not a problem really, but I just wish that they (i.e. any projector company) would sell a carrying case with built in velcro straps to manage the cables. We have a lot of people who use these projectors and the cables are always a mess. |
