Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought Zoombox for my little 4 and 11 year-old daughters. After dinner time, we usually get their DVDs played in their room, and the kids seem to be quite happy with it.
They already had watched those DVDs hundred times so they don't care about quality of projected image. They sometimes don't concentrate on the movies and do other things while the movie is going. BUT the point is that my kids are just happy with the big screen which they can watch whenever they want.
I have a 'real' projector in our living room, but I don't want to use it in kids' room because: (1)it's very delicate and HOT device; (2)DVD player and speaker set should be connected separately; (3)we simply can't afford $400 bulb replacement three times a year; (4)it's too bright to watch for a long time in a small bedroom, especially for kids' eyes.
It uses a typical halogen bulb which can be purchased from any local home improvement store for around $5~7. It consumes less than 50watts per hour. I use it without worrying about maintenance cost, and thanks to the economical fact, this little toy can be utilized in many creative ways which hasn't been reasonable with 'real' projectors. For example, when I have party with friends I sometimes use Zoombox in living room to play concert DVDs or music video clips purchased from Apple iTunes music store as BGM. My 'real' epson projector costs too much to be used in those kind of ways.Regarding its resolution, Zoombox is definitely not for serious movie watchers. You have to make your room dark as possible to get decent picture from it. It doesn't have keystone distortion adjustment function, which means you have to place the unit at the right angle to get completely rectangular picture. So, if you expect home theater, just forget about this toy and spend at least $400 more to buy low-end DLP projectors and another $200 for decent 5.1channel speaker set.
But in the other hand, if you want some extra entertainment in bedrooms after dinner time, or need additional projector for more casual occasions, Zoombox can become affordable and satisfactory solution. I think it's unfair to compare toy to real thing.

That?s all you need for big, huge, larger-than-life movies and video games. The Zoombox is part TFT LCD projector and part DVD and CD player. It projects the big picture 5 diagonal sizeat a clean 557x234 resolution and, with built-in speakers, puts the power of home theater in a portable package.
