Question 1

May I know whether it has a voltage option? I live in Malaysia where the voltage is 220-240V. I will be getting this projector in USA.

Accepted Answer

usually this works on 240V, 50 Hz power in different country. I have used Epson projector in India (240V, 50 Hz) bought in the US. Only thing I needed was a different adaptor to connect cable to power socket.

Question 2

anybody playing games on this? notice any lag?

Accepted Answer

I have played Warcraft and Destiny and Halo and Call of Duty and other games on this projector. I am a very avid gamer. And by that I mean I follow MLG and pro gamers and play with some of them. This projector surprisingly doesn't lag much. Now would I play the new Halo MCC game when I am wanting to win and get a high rank or when I am playing with some pros? Def not I would recommend a monitor with 1ms like the BenQ that is made for MLG gaming. Now if your just casual and not competitive like most you will have no problems with this projector gaming!

Question 3

Has anyone tried using a Chromecast dongle with this. I was curious if the usb type B input behind the projector would power a Chromecast dongle?

Accepted Answer

I couldn't get one to work on mine without the power adapter. Then again, I have yet to find a TV that would power any of my Chromecasts, so I have had to use the power adapter for all of them. I have tried (all relatively new (less than 3 years old) models: Samsung plasma, Sharp Aquos LED, Vizio LED, and W1070, and the Chromecast always needs the power adapter, so I think that their "Powered by the HDMI port" claim is a bit of a stretch for all but a very few models.

Question 4

Whether projected picture colors are vivid(colorful)? Many portable projectors project very pale colors hence the doubt.

Accepted Answer

Yes the colors are vivid and everyone I showed they were impressed with the picture quality coming out from this projector . I did not try the 3D  yet ,
