PJ358 Reviews:  

This LCD projector is available from Viewsonic as the PJ358 and also as the Hitachi CP-X1, although you pay nearly £100 extra for the Hitachi logo. Oh, except that the Hitachi is silver and the Viewsonic is black. Other than that they're identical so what you've got here is effectively two reviews in one.

Although this projector is rated at 36dB in Normal mode and 30dB in Eco mode we found that it was very quiet in regular use and switching to Eco didn't seem to

make the dramatic difference that the 6dB step would suggest. Judging by the evidence of our ears that 36dB figure is overstated.

The image displayed on the screen was very pleasant with lovely warm colours. You can happily use the Viewsonic either for watching a movie or giving a presentation and the only obvious downside is the lack of a digital connection.


Versatile and highly portable.

The ViewSonic® PJ358 ultra-portable projector is a performance leader with a rich feature set at an affordable price. The PJ358 delivers 2200 ANSI LUMENS AND 1024 X 768 XGA RESOLUTION for crisp, detailed images in any lighting situation. The short throw distance enables you to DISPLAY A 1.5m IMAGE FROM 149cm. At just 1.8kg, this projector's portability is enhanced by its small footprint. It's also easy to set up with auto vertical keystone correction and easy to pack up with its DIRECT OFF FEATURE. A wide array of PC and video connectivity options lets you deliver dynamic, versatile presentations. Even connect a USB FLASH DRIVE to project JPEG images and M-PEG video without a PC. The PJ358 is ideal for table-top or mounted use, in the office or on the road.
