With its stylish design this projector is compatible with almost any decor. With its native 1920x1080 (1080p) native pixel resolution and its 1,800 lumen output capability, the video quality is very good. Flesh tones and color saturation, once tweaked, also contribute to a satisfying viewing experience. Additional bonuses include two HDMI outputs, a built-in speaker for classroom and business use, and a very quick turn-on and cool down shut off time. I found the Vivitek H1080 to be a good performing and easy-to-use video projector.
