 Beware of ViewSonic! July 24, 2007

Beware of ViewSonic, and beware of reviews from users who have had the product for less than 6-8 months.
Viewsonic has a product quality issue with horrid customer service. I bought my projector in June 2006. At first I loved its bright, high-quality image and ease of use. If I had written my product review during my first 10 months of ownership, I would have given it 5 stars. But then...
After only 10 months of very light usage and very careful handling, it quit working. The good news is that ViewSonic agreed to repair it under warranty, the bad news is that three months after initially contacting ViewSonic I still don't have a working projector. First they promised to repair it, and I sent it in. Then, after receiving it, they kept slipping the date by which they promised to send it back to me. Finally they said they "couldn't" repair it, and offered to send me an "open-box" replacement, which I agreed to. That was a month ago, and I still haven't received it. They kept giving me promises like, "We'll ship it in 3 days", and a week later it still hadn't left their shipping dock.
 Best Value in XGA projectors August 10, 2004

I bought this for my employer about a month ago and have nothing but good impressions of it. As XGA projector prices go, at most shops, this one is right at the bottom of the price range with the exception of a BenQ, whose level of quality I question.
I bought this because of a combination of the price and my familiarity with the Viewsonic brand, and they did not let me down. What you are getting for the additional several hundred dollars over an SVGA projector is crisp support for 1024x768 resolution, which is the resolutions most presentations are being designed for these days.
The tradeoff for the low price is a brightness (1200 ANSI lumens) a bit lower than some XGA projectors. The average in the field is closer to 1500 lumens, but with the PJ550 in a brightly lit with fluorescents room, projecting on the side of a white box, I had marvelous picture clarity and brightness.
The projector comes with a male and a female VGA port, which is great for splitting the display output between a monitor and the projector when a splitter isn't handy.
The onscreen menu is intuitive and reasonably comprehensive. It was easy to make adjustments for range, brightness, and focus.
It seems well-cooled. Heat was not a considerable issues after three straight hours of projection.
It comes with all the cabling and accessories you need, including three different power cords for different types of outlets, and a carrying case with plenty of pockets.
I'm afraid I don't have any negative points to counter the good points I've mentioned.
