ViewSonic PJD6352 review

The 10W speaker is no substitute for a quality set of dedicated speakers, but it’s still perfectly acceptable for speech and background music. We’d recommend not setting it to “speech” mode, though, as this produces ear-piercingly loud and unpleasantly harsh high frequency noises.

It’s lucky that the speaker is loud, because the internal fan makes a racket. This drops to 27dB when in eco mode, but you sacrifice image brightness as a result. Either way, it could prove distracting if the projector is placed in the middle of a conference table and not out of the way with a ceiling mount.

The lamp is rated to last 4,000 hours, although Eco mode boosts this up to 10,000 hours, which should help keep running costs reasonably low. There aren’t any dust filters to replace either.

The ViewSonic PJD6352 may not have the highest of resolutions, but its bright lamp, compact size, network connectivity and reasonable price make up for this – as long as your needs are modest. Our biggest gripe is the noise of the fan, which is much louder than we’d like. If you want something more compact, the Pico Genie M100 is a tiny projector, perfect for presenting on the move.
