Verdict

The Vivitek Qumi Q7 is a portable WXGA (1280x800) LED projector featuring a brightness of 800 ANSI lumens and a high 30,000:1 contrast ratio. Key characteristics include an ultra-long light source life of up to 30,000 hours, 3D readiness with 2D-to-3D conversion, and versatile connectivity via dual HDMI (with MHL), VGA, and USB ports. Its main pros are a compact 1.4kg lightweight design, 4GB of onboard memory with a built-in MS Office and PDF document viewer for PC-free presentations, and integrated 2W stereo speakers. On the downside, the fan noise can be relatively loud at 38dB in standard mode, the manual focus wheel is noted for being stiff, and it lacks internal battery power, requiring a constant AC connection.
