I saw answer it works with PPT but comment said lettering is blurry - is the quality good enough for powerpoint presentations to groups of 25+ people?

Oh yes, and focus is manual and effective..just that I'm using in a darkned bar room and a screen would brighten the led appearance of letters,etc. Can't see well in a day or lit room

I had the same problem. The resolution had issues and when projecting, it made it difficult to use in my classroom. :(

Hi Ramiro. Funny you ask that! I actually presented a ppt presentation last night and it consisted of MP3s and videos at the same time with texts and it worked great! No lag and very smooth!

Caroline: I have only did slides (126), quality is not the greatest. Ok for saving purposes but, Would recommend better quality $$devise. (it matches the cost) It think it will scan any thing, place neg. for optimum view.frame determines what shows.

I haven't used Keynote, but this does work with Prezi. If I remember correctly, when you go to the full screen presentation mode in Prezi, it will advance just like Powerpoint does.

yes works well but after a certain distance it doesnt matter what you input it is pixelated.

I have only used the item with 35 mm slides. Using it with these works very well. Some color distortion - in some cases can be corrected on Photoshop Elements. Also, some cropping occurs - but the model for the price (compared with ones 10x more) works well. Look at specs of this model for more info..

No, it works wirelessly with your computer. Just plug in the wireless USB that comes with the remote into your computer USB port and it works instantaly in advancing your PowerPoint slides.

1 - You shouldn't have any trouble converting between Microsoft and OpenOffice file formats. Please note though, some people imbed videos in their PPT files and Linux has to jump through a few hoops before it will play well with Apple's and Microsoft's proprietary video formats. Beyond that, you should have zero problems here. 2 - The Eee does indeed have a VGA port and you ought to be able to hook up to any projector you like. 3 - I'm not sure about this, but it may be as simple as using a different keystroke in Impress than the one you would use in PowerPoint.

Yes. The Toshiba Excite CAN open powerpoint slides. It comes with an application called "Quick Office" (Lite version) which can be used to view ppt presentations.

Don't buy the VuPoint, as it's really bad. I sent mine back and bought an Imagebox. It is more expensive but works great. I have transferred slides from the 40's, 50's, 60's.

I have used it with my laptop, it worked fine. I have not tried it with my Surface. The projector was not powerful enough to show the powerpoint to a large audience well. Using it my home, it does great.

Ignore Brad's answer. There's no way to present a ppt directly from the projector. You can export your ppt from Powerpoint as individual JPGs, and then play those as a slideshow on the projector using the included remote. This sounds more difficult than it actually is. If any of your ppt slides have elements that fade-in, move, etc. that functionality is lost.

Any idea if it will work for non-Powerpoint? Like Keynote or NeoOffice slideshows?

Hi Klee81, I'm am a worship leader at my church and I was searching for a good remote to operate powerpoint. I tried 3 other top rated brands only to return them to Amazon. They were cheaply made, at times in-operatble, and un-reliable! The SMK Jade was by far the best remote! It was also the most expensive, ($100 compared to others as high as $65) but in electronics I've found you only get what you pay for. After almost 1 year the remote works great and actually has more funtions than we need and more than most of the less expensive models. I hope that this is helpful as you make your decision. Great Product!! ...Dennis, dkhuddles

Works wonderfully with PP and is extremely bright. We have had no problem with having to worry too much about darkening the room. I could not figure out how to get the projector linked with the computer to work the slide advance feature (I'm not too technically oriented). Solved the problem, however, for twelve bucks by picking up Oem Presenter with Laser Pointer and Powerpoint Presentation Remote Control Clicker (O-PRC-0130). It is really slick, with forward/reverse feature, plus a laser pointer. It works like a champ. Good luck. Cheers...Ed B.

I got mine before the price went up. I used it for presentations in training classes. It has a great pointer and if you use PowerPoint you can black out the main screen and make changes for the next presentation instead of keeping the screen live so everyone can see what you are doing on your computer. I remove my batteries after every use. It's a great remote to have.
