Our take on the ViewSonic LightStream PJD7828HDL Projector

The ViewSonic LightStream PJD7828HDL is a 1080p DLP projector rated at 3,200 lumens, built for a bright living room or a small home theater. Its short-throw lens throws an 84-inch image from about 7 feet, so it can sit close to the wall, and a 1.3x manual zoom gives some placement slack. It has HDMI, VGA and USB inputs plus wireless connectivity, and a 210 W lamp rated for 4,000 hours in normal mode. Against lamp rivals it is bright and flexible on placement; against newer LED and laser projectors it gives up lamp life and needs more care with ambient light and fan noise.

Questions and answers

Is it good for a bright room?
Yes. At 3,200 lumens it is bright enough for a living room with some light, though a dark room still gives the best contrast.
How big an image can it throw from close up?
About 84 inches diagonal from 7 feet. The 1.3x zoom lets you adjust size without moving it much.
Does it need a special screen?
No. A plain white wall works, but a matte white screen improves contrast and color.
Can I use it for gaming?
Yes. It runs at 120 Hz, which smooths fast motion, though input lag is not as low as dedicated gaming projectors.
What is in the box?
The projector, a power cable, a VGA cable and a remote. An HDMI cable is not included.
How long does the lamp last?
About 4,000 hours in normal mode. Running eco mode extends it, and the lamp is user-replaceable.
