Review submitted for Vivitek Qumi Q5 500 Lumen WXGA HD 720p HDMI 3D-Ready Pocket DLP Projector (YELLOW) (VTKQ5YELL)
Pros: Check the accuracy of the manufacturer's statements by friends or network seems that the maximum duration of lamp is only 5000 hours and and the lamp can not be replaced. Optics module fails at 4000-5000hrs, less than a quarter of the stated claim. This is built in obsolescence and Vivitek have clearly misled people on the life expectency of these Qumi Q5's and they don't live upto the claimed expectancy.

5 out of 5 stars   Vititek Q5 POCKET PROJECTOR
By Kwok Lai on December 19, 2015
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Vivitek Qumi Q5 500 Lumen WXGA HD 720p HDMI 3D-Ready Pocket DLP Projector Refurbished (VTKQ5BLK)
Pros: Various ports for AV connection; portable; easy to use. It performs as advertised. Price of this refurbished projector [...] is a steal. Highly recommended.
Cons: user guide too simple. No instruction to use 4G internal storage. Vivitek Customer online response Is poor.
Other Comments: Good portable projector for fun, but not to replace your TV or home theater. The mono speaker volume is acceptable, hearable in small in-house environment, but not outdoor. The brightness is OK to project a 60 inches diagonal image in dark room. Contrast can be improved further.

Review submitted for Vivitek Qumi Q5 500 Lumen WXGA HD 720p HDMI 3D-Ready Pocket DLP Projector Refurbished (VTKQ5BLK)
Pros: portable and bright
Cons: Many people who bought this product say it is nearly like brand new one. But mine has a lot of scratch. Probably not refurbished but used product. If you sell used product you have to say 'Used', NOT 'Refurbished'.
Other Comments: Built in wifi, bluetooth, battery are needed..

5 out of 5 stars   Tiny and bright!
By JY on September 07, 2015
Review submitted for Vivitek Qumi Q5 500 Lumen WXGA HD 720p 3D-Ready Pocket DLP Projector Refurbished (VTKQ5RD)
Pros: The software in this projector allows me to leave my laptop at home and bring all my content on a flash drive or portable hard drive. See the video review! -It's really small. I like that you don't have to worry about replacing the bulb. -The keystone is a nice feature - I can put this unit on most tables without distortion.
Cons: The fan can get somewhat noisy, but it does run hot and is necessary. Built in battery would have been so great!
Other Comments: Great product for the size, and I love the huge size of the projection.

By Prime8 on July 10, 2015

Review submitted for Vivitek Qumi Q5 500 Lumen WXGA HD 720p 3D-Ready Pocket DLP Projector Refurbished (VTKQ5RD)
Pros: Excellent little projector, the picture is very impressive when used in a dark room. My unit seemed to be brand new with all cables included in a plain cardboard box. Really portable, has a tripod insert.
Cons: Fan is a little distracting in quiet environments. Picture gets washed out easily with ambient light.

5 out of 5 stars   Fantastic projector, quick delivery to Australia
By BG on July 10, 2015
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Vivitek Qumi Q5 500 Lumen WXGA HD 720p 3D-Ready Pocket DLP Projector Refurbished (VTKQ5RD)
Pros: Compact, bright and contrast video (can view films on 65' screen even with some lights on) , lots of adjustments (aspect ratio, color temperature, contrast, sharpness etc), many inputs, bulid in video/documents player, quick start and no cooling down time. It also looks great.
Cons: Only 3.5mm Audio out. It would be good to have optical or coax output, as its own speaker is very small. A stick that covers a joint for attaching it to a tripod does not have a clip, i.e. once removed it can't be placed back.
Other Comments: Highly recommended for presentations when a stationary projector is not available, travelling, watching films (in addition to TV or stationary projector). The projector was deivered from Buydig.com very quickly,- it worth paying for such quick and reliable delivery.

4 out of 5 stars   The envy of family and co-workers
By MV on June 28, 2015
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Vivitek Qumi Q5 500 Lumen WXGA HD 720p 3D-Ready Pocket DLP Projector Refurbished (VTKQ5RD)
Pros: - Small and portable. - Picture looks amazing (even projecting on a sheet, others couldn't believe how clear and crisp the picture was! - For being a small, portable projector, still has convenient features like vertical keystone correction.
Cons: My only cons so far: - It's been bright enough in most of my dark situations trying to use it, but I did try it at work in brighter areas and it washes out quickly at only 500 lumens. I figured it would so wasn't really disappointed, just wanted to point this out. - It has vertical keystone correction, but no horizontal correction so needs to be straight on (left to right) to get the best picture. - No battery. I was hoping to be completely portable (and I've seen articles talking about a battery they offer, but haven't been able to find it anywhere).
Other Comments: So far, I have really enjoyed my Qumi Q5. I had forgotten that this was a refurbished item as there were no signs of wear or issues with the projector....it appeared brand new. I bought it to use mostly at home and in fact went on a family vacation shortly after receiving it and it was a hit. I used it at night projecting on a sheet near the swimming pool for all of the kids to watch a movie. Paired with a portable but loud speaker, this worked out better than expected! I've also used it at work for displaying data to coworkers and got the "cool" reaction by a number of them.

5 out of 5 stars   Great little projector!
By Greg on May 20, 2015
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Vivitek Qumi Q5 500 Lumen WXGA HD 720p 3D-Ready Pocket DLP Projector Refurbished (VTKQ5RD)
Pros: Great for dark room movie watching, even without a screen onto my 80 inch WIDE (not diagonal) screen Self adjustment for vertical tilt 500 Lumens - the best you can get for a projector this size Price: for a "refurbished product" (ie not brand new box, otherwise, looks brand new, and 90 day warranty) it's a great price! all cables are included (albeit short)
Cons: speakers are not good for almost anything (tinny, quiet) - I use external ones anyway hdmi and audio cables are kinda short, but that's to be expected - thanks for providing them
Other Comments: hooked up a Chromecast - Netflix and youtube is amazing. Otherwise, I use VideoStream app for chrome to stream whatever I want from my home computer In settings, change input from auto-detect to HDMI Got Gorillapod Hybrid tripod and now I can set it up literally ANYWHERE not for well-lit rooms (but hey, how many people watch movies during day time?)

4 out of 5 stars   Great unit, Linux OS is good, best in low light situations
January 21, 2015
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Vivitek Qumi Q5 500 Lumen WXGA HD 720p 3D-Ready Pocket DLP Projector Refurbished (VTKQ5RD)
Pros: Small Linux OS is a real plus, can plug in a flash drive or external hard drive to play movies Looks great in dark/low light situations Has female threaded part underneth to mount on tripod
Cons: Not great in anything but low light or complete darkness, but whaddia expect for 500 lumen Linux OS is a bit clunky, could use some work WiFi dongle is proprietary and expensive Power supply can get quite hot during extended use
Other Comments: Only owned for a few months but I really like this unit. Having the ability to play movies without a pc is a real plus. i suggest buying a small bluetooth transmitter to use with the audio out so you can use a bluetooth speaker. also heard you can use a cromecast instead of the wifi dongle but i havent tryed that yet.

5 out of 5 stars   Decent projector, great price
December 12, 2014
Review submitted for Vivitek Qumi Q5 500 Lumen WXGA HD 720p 3D-Ready Pocket DLP Projector Refurbished (VTKQ5RD)
Pros: Works as advertised. Image is sharp.
Cons: Focus wheel is a little stiff. It may loosen with use.
Other Comments: I've used it past it's specified projection distance and it works fine in low light. In daylight, it has to be closer to the wall/screen, but it is bright enough that at ~5', you don't need to dim the lights.
