10 Best ViewSonic Interactive Projectors
for November 2022

The ViewSonic PS750W is an improvement over its budget counterpart, the PS750. It's bigger and brighter, and it's also easier to use. The PS750W's interactive features are much more polished, and, unlike on the PS750, the included pens are more precise and responsive. The interactive curtain is also much better, though the outgoing image still distorts a bit when viewed from one side. For the price, the PS750W offers an excellent combination of performance, features, and value. The projector's big, bright image makes it a great option for classrooms, and its short-throw lens lets you project it from small distances. Its built-in interactive features also make it great for education and entertainment. The only potential drawback is its size, which makes it difficult to use on walls or TVs that don't have a lot of space.

The PJD8353S is one of the least expensive large-screen projectors available these days, and it's a great option for beginners. It's easy to set up, with adjustable image height and weight, and it uses less-toxic mercury-free lamps. The PJD8353S has an impressive 3,000-lumen output, which makes it easy to watch video from your smartphone or laptop on the 80-inch screen. The picture quality isn't quite as sharp as that of our top pick, but it's good enough that you won't miss much. And the projector's short throw distance means that you don't need to be up close to see the image. The only drawback is that although the screen is bright and sharp, the image is a little blurry when viewed from one side. At this price, the PJD8353S is a great choice for classrooms and offices that don't need the best picture quality, but require a large-screen display.

The ViewSonic M2 portable projector is an excellent option for consumers looking for a portable projector. The M2's image quality is bright, vivid, and colorful, and it blows away the competition in terms of brightness and wide color gamut. The M2 is also impressively lightweight, weighing just 3.3 pounds, and it's slim enough to fit easily into a backpack. Its long battery life means you don't have to wait around to recharge, and since it also comes with a USB Type C cable, you can easily project from almost any device, including your phone or laptop. The M2 also has great audio, with powerful built-in Harman Kardon speakers that pump out room-filling sound. The M2 is also more affordable than most of the competition, but it lacks some key features, such as 3D support. It also only supports 1080p, and that resolution is much lower than the 4K resolution offered by other, pricier models. The M2 also lacks HDMI inputs, and the USB port only supports USB Type C. Finally, the M2's remote is poorly designed, and it's missing some controls, so it's tricky to navigate. Though the M2 has a lot of good features, it's held back by a few too many bad features.

The ViewSonic M1 Mini Projector is an affordable, portable LED projector that delivers bright, clear images, making it perfect for watching movies and TV shows at home or on the go. Its compact size makes it easy to pack away and take with you, and its versatile design allows it to easily sit on a table or mount onto most surfaces. The projector uses a 720p HD image, which produces sharp, vivid images with vibrant colors. Its 100-lumens brightness and clarity make it ideal for viewing in a dark room, and it comes with three interchangeable panels for catering to different tastes. The M1 Mini also has a built-in battery that provides up to 1.5 hours of power, and it comes with a power bank connector that lets you easily power the projector from an external battery. The projector has a sleek, modern design, and it's easy to use, as it has a 3.5-inch color display that displays menu choices, video inputs, and battery life. The M1 Mini also supports wireless streaming directly from Netflix and Disney+, and it supports MHL, which allows it to connect to a compatible smartphone or tablet without requiring any cables. The projector has a HDMI port, a USB port, and a Micro USB port, which makes it easy to connect to a variety of devices, including a computer, a Blu-ray player, a Roku streaming stick, a gaming console, and a media player. The M1 Mini comes with a remote control, and it's easy to set up and use.

The ViewSonic PA503S is a budget projector that is ideal for any home or office setting. It delivers bright, clear images with 3800 lumens, and it pumps out images up to 120 inches from 15-feet 8-inches away. The PA503S's 20,000:1 contrast ratio and 1,800:1 native resolution mean that movies, games, and images are sharp and vivid. In addition, the projector's 1.3x zoom and 30° horizontal and 65° vertical keystone correction let you place it in pretty much any position you want. The projector's 5-segment color wheel provides vivid images, and it has a 16:9 aspect ratio. The ViewSonic PA503S's 4-watt speaker produces decent sound, but it's best suited for smaller rooms. The projector's manual controls include an on/off switch, a mute button, and volume controls. It also has an included remote control, but it's short on features, so we recommend reading the manual before making big adjustments. The ViewSonic PA503S isn't ideal for larger spaces or movie rooms, but it's a viable choice for home use.

The PJD6552LW is a fully featured projector with a massive 3500 lumens, bright enough to fill a large room. The projector is simple to use, with autofocus, focus, and zoom buttons on its remote, plus it was easy to adjust the focus. The projector comes with a wall-mounting kit, but in our tests no need to use it because the projector's wide 180-degree viewing area makes it easy to position. The projector's WXGA resolution is perfect for showing HD content, and the 3500-lumen brightness is bright enough to fill a large room. The projector's zoom range, 0.75 to 5.5 feet, is wider than most, which makes it a good option for a small room. The projector's lens shift feature makes it easy to position the projector in a far corner, and its lens shift range, 2.5 to 11.7 inches, is wider than most, so if you need to position the projector in a corner, this projector is a good choice. The PJD6552LW's 10,000-hour lamp life and bright, clear image make it a great choice for home theaters, business presentations, or classrooms.

The ViewSonic VG2439SMH is an outstanding monitor, with a bright, crisp, and colorful display that is easy to view from across the room. The 24-inch model has plenty of screen real estate, so it's ideal for multitasking on a giant spreadsheet or editing a video. The MVA panel provides sharp, accurate images, and the 19,200-to-1 contrast ratio ensures deep blacks and bright colors. The monitor's slim profile makes it easy to place on a workstation or desk, and the swivel base lets you adjust the view to a comfortable level. The VG2439SMH's 3,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and 500 nits brightness make it well suited for outdoor use, and the built-in speakers produce clear, balanced audio. The monitor's ports are conveniently located on the back of the display, so connecting cables and peripherals is is a breeze. The included cables are long enough to reach most workstations, and the dual HDMI connecters make it easy to connect multiple devices. The VG2439SMH also includes a few handy extras, such as a carrying bag, a user manual, and a 3-year warranty.

The ViewSonic PJD8653WS is a decent budget home theater projector, and it's a good pick for anyone looking for a large-screen projector that's easy to set up and use. Its WXGA (1280x800) resolution and 3000 lumens brightness make it one of our top picks for a 16:10 projector, and since it uses DLP technology, it projects bright and clear images that are far superior to those of most other projectors. The PJD8653WS has a 0.35:1 throw ratio, which is on the high side for DLP projectors, but it's an extraordinarily short throw ratio for a 1,200 lumens projector, and it's the only projector we've tested that doesn't require a screen of 6.2 feet diagonal or larger. The projector has an 80-inch throw distance, and we found that it projects an image up to 80 inches from 2.5 feet and up to 100 inches from 2.5 feet, which is incredibly short compared to most home theater projectors. The PJD8653WS has a generous 7,000 lamp hour lifespan (in Eco mode), and it has a 1.72:6 aspect ratio, which widens the screen image horizontally and vertically. The remote has a number pad (so it's handy for entering numbers), a headphone jack, and an audio output. The PJD8653WS comes with everything you need to get started, but it's missing a power cable, and since the projector requires a power line, you'll have to run an extension cord. Overall, the PJD8653WS is a decent budget home theater projector, and it's a good pick for anyone looking for a large-screen projector that's easy to set up and use.
