Thanks! I've been wondering if the flickering I'm seeing in other tests is b/c of difference in frame rate, but other reviews have not addressed that issue. Thanks for letting us know it's not visible in real life.
Yeah the flickering is due to the different frame rates of the projector and camera used to record the review. To be honest I've found a better projector direct from China called the Coolux SX3.
All the Vivitek Qumi's have a standard tripod mount. The only thing I'd say is don't try one of these mini desktop tripods as the Q5 is a bit side heavy and won't stand up.
What do you think about Qumi Q7 Plus? I need it for a Class-Room and there's a little of sun light going on by a small window. Lights can be turned off.
Alexis Pinzón The Q7 looks very nice but I'd probably still say it's not bright enough for a classroom environment. I'd look at seeing if you can hire one to try before you buy or buy from a dealer who'll let you test and return.
Have you tried this projector as an external monitor for a computer? Curious how well smaller text renders - is it sharp and easily read, or hard on the eyes?
Prabhjot Cheema You could replace your TV with this but it does need to be in a pretty dark room for best results. I have a long HDMi lead coming from my Home Cinema Receiver to my TV. If I want to use the projector now and again I just unplug the HDMI from the TV and into the projector. That way the picture goes to the projector but I still get 5.1 sound from my surrround. Short answer is yes you can connect it to settop box like SKy etc via HDMI.
thanks im looking into getting one of these great review
Thanks Stun, I love it but they do have a bigger Q7 just out now too!

Did it require any special hardware to mount it on the tripod or does it have the standard screw-in mount like a camera? Thank you! Great review!

Have you tried using a power bank with this projector. Let us say one that can give 19V/3A output. Does it work?

can you use hard drive for this?
+alvin pagalilauan You can plug in either a USB pen drive or a hard drive. Probably better to have a hard drive with it's own power supply though.
