ViewSonic PLED-W800

 

The ViewSonic PLED-W800 has a good range of connection choices and loud audio for an LED-based mini projector, though it suffers from poor video quality.

Small. Lightweight. Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL)-enabled HDMI port. Can project content from a USB thumb drive or SD card. 2GB of internal memory. Loud audio for its size. Long lamp life.

Poor video quality. Apparent scaling artifacts at native resolution.

The W800 had slightly better text quality in our testing than the InFocus LightPro IN1146, our Editors' Choice LED-based WXGA projector, but the IN1146 is a better-rounded model, with higher brightness (1,000 lumens), multiple connectivity choice, and...

ViewSonic PLED-W800

 

The ViewSonic PLED-W800 is, according to ViewSonic, that rarest of projector beasts: a highly practical, ultra-portable model that also sports enough picture quality and flexibility to support both business presentations and home entertainment use. All...

Bright for an ultra-portable projector ; Good colour and sharpness ; Built-in file reader

Uneven lighting ; Runs very noisily with the brightness high ; No built-in Wi-Fi

ViewSonic PLED-W800 review

 

A very portable DLP LED projector

HDMI, USB & SD card slots ; Portable design ; Plays PDF and Microsoft files

Requires Wi-Fi dongle ; Underpowered 2W speakers ; Lip-sync issue with video

A great value DLP LED projector for portable presentations, but Wi-Fi is by dongle only.

ViewSonic PLED-W800 review

 

California-based ViewSonic has specialised in display equipment since the late 1980s. Three years ago it was one of the pioneers of a new line of miniature projectors using LED illumination, but its remarkable PLED-W500 disappeared from the market...

Aimed primarily at the business travel and education markets, this highly portable, cool-running piece of kit doubles as a convincing home entertainment projector. ViewSonic claims the LED illumination has an expected life of 30,000 hours, so with no...

ViewSonic PLED-W800 Projector

 

Almost exactly 3 years ago one of the most exciting pieces of kit I had seen for some time crossed my desk. It was the ViewSonic PLED–W500, a tiny but surprisingly bright projector that used cool-running LEDs for illumination instead of a hot lamp....

The Achilles heel of any projector is the lamp. To burn bright it needs to burn hot, using a lot of juice and requiring a cooling fan. The fan uses yet more juice, as well as tending to add bulk to the assembly, and of course noise. The other catch is...

ViewSonic PLED-W800

 

Small and with loads of connectivity options. Works with chromecast. Love the bit on the bottom that let's you attach it to a camera tripod. No more balancing on books and junk!
