ViewSonic M1 vs ViewSonic PA503W

I have the viewsonic one. I think it’s a solid monitor, especially at the price it is. I came from 1080p 144hz and the upgrade was quite noticeable. Imo the ips panel is very worth it, it just looks so much better than my old screen

In reality the movies are just an excuse, but I don't want to spend hundreds on a piece of absolute garbage, I want to be able to tell which is the x-wing and which is the Cylons. But mainly it needs to have enough brightness that we can start watching at dusk, so as to finish the movie before the noise laws kick in.

I like it; I just wish it was brighter. It is certainly a well-made projector and has all sorts of inputs. The onboard sound is actually surprisingly crisp and loud, but if you really wanted to upgrade the audio - you still have the capability of upgrading by syncing with your own Bluetooth speaker system. The only downside is the brightness really

The brightness is shockingly better than my old one. This is a bargain projector but there is a lot of value and it functions very well. I use to have to wait until dark to use it, but I can now use it in a dim room.

We’ve considered cheaper gadget projectors, but after some more research we’ve narrowed the selection down to Nebula Capsule and M1. Both Nebula and M1 are based on DLP technology from reputable brands, WVGA (480p) resolution and have stylish form factor but M1 was brighter at 250 ANSI Lumens compared to Nebula @ 100 ANSI Lumens and less $. WiFi would have been nice but it wouldn’t be much use when camping out of range. Overall, resolution and brightness is good enough for watching movies on the go

With COVID limiting social gatherings, I wanted to create a better experience ... and hopefully one that was easier to set up
