I got this portable projector for dorm use to watch movies,tv and for internet. The PJ came with a bag too! The 170 lumens image is bright enough even during daytime, just close the blinds/curtains. The image is 1000:1 contrast ratio, the colors are vivid. The built in speakers are like the ones in your laptop but it’s good to have. I tried the composite/RCA and usb port in the back and they are good for watching divx or playing console games. Here’s video I posted video on youtube or just search “hN8ib8bnvg4″ there.
What it needs to get that perfect score:
1)100 more lumens
2)HDMI w/ at least 720p resolution
3)less fan noise(not bad as it is but it’s still louder than a laptop)

I use this projector for demonstrations of software and such to small groups (usually 3 or 4 people) and it’s perfect for that matter. What I like is:
- Portability: It’s small, and although the power supply is almost as big as the projector, this model comes with a handy carrying case, which is perfect for transporting the unit and all it’s components.
- Ease of use: Just plugged into the laptop and played (Vista Ultimate); no need to install any software.
- Picture quality: You have to know what your getting off this trade, meaning less lumens but much more hours and no need to replace lamps. The brightness is enough to fit small group presentations (which is my company’s bread and butter) although it may not be fit to a bigger audience. I would recommend to be aware of this and purchase another (Infocus, perhaps?) with more lumens to host large group presentations.
- Form factor: It looks very professional on its glossy black color. True it can hold a fingerprint stain (or two) but it comes with a cloth for cleansing purposes.
- Sound: It’s not surround sound system, but I think it’s a nice feature to have on this kind of device, although I don’t plan to use it extensively for that matter.
- Features: USB port is a plus for portable presentations that don’t requiere a laptop; Remote Control works out-of-the-box and provides aid with presentations played from a USB device connected to the device. DVD connectors that makes it easy to just plug a DVD player and play a movie or so, without hassles.
All that said, again I have to stress that it’s meant to be used indoors for personal use or small groups (my take is no more than 10 people); If you need to hold larger audiences or use outdoors presentation you may want to consider other brighter (and bigger) options.

I did a lot of research on LED projectors before purchasing this one from Samsung. Not only is there a lack of LED projectors on the market, which is a shame, but companies like Mitsubishi discontinued a very good model for no apparent reason. For the money, this is the best projector out there! The LED life is rated between 20,000 and 50,000 hours, which will probably outlive the projector itself. I have mine set up in a medium-sized den. I purchased Klipsch THX computer speakers and have them around the room, which provides theatre-quality sound. I have the VGA cord ready to plug into a cheap Toshiba Laptop for viewing Netflix movies and television shows online. I have a DVD player hooked up and it is easy to toggle between the two ports with the Samsung remote. I also purchased the Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player. I can hook up an external drive to the WD media player and run movies, photos, and music through the projector system.
The color quality is very good. I have my projector about six or seven feet from the wall behind a couch. It displays around 80 or 90-inches. The light is of high quality, and I can simply pull the curtains in the room during the day and watch any movie in near perfect viewing as any completely dark room would supply.
My only qualm is the focal ring. It is very sensitive (which is probably good). I sometimes have to adjust it, especially if watching a lower-quality .AVI movie file. Other than that, I highly recommend this player! It is a small investment that will never need a $400 light bulb!

Well, I really can’t complain one bit. The main reason I purchased this sweet little LED projector was to use it in conjunction with my PS3. I honestly don’t “need” a HD capable projector, so this little 800×600 setup does the trick just fine. I pretty much knew what I was getting, because I had borrowed a friends P400M (the slightly downgraded model – now discontinued). I was impressed with the P400′s size (about the size of 4 stacked Blu-ray cases), overall image brightness (150 lumens) and picture quality. The P410 is just a little brigher (170 lumens) and it definately shows. The room needs to be pretty dim (no necessarily pitch black – the light of my laptop doesn’t ruin the movie), but what do you expect for a 170 lumen brightness.
My only complaint that I could make, all things considered, is the lack of head phone output. The speaker is OK, but the head phone jack was a selling point. The P400 had one, and I made the mistake of assuming this the P410 would too. What the P410 does gain is a pretty cool feature where you can plug in a USB drive and watch or listen to the media on the drive without the need for a computer/game console/ect. As long as your media is in the right format, you can watch movies, photos, or music on the go. All you need is electricity, a dimmly light room, a white wall (or close to it), the P410, and a USB drive and you’ve got pure entertainment.
The unit comes with a d-sub monitor cable to send a video signal from a laptop to the P410. The power brick is kinda big (not bigger that the P410 thought) but who cares.
At 6 feet from the wall, I’ve got a 42 inch display. Games look good, movies look great. I will never be without this projector while traveling or deployed overseas.

I purchased this item for my company’s remote sales team, and they absolutely love it. Brilliant quality, very compact and portable, and simple to use. I could not ask for a better projector.
