Interesting question. I have not tried, but I do not see any reason why not. It is a great projector.

Nope. Not at all. If you looking for a projector for outside. 3lcd is the brightest projector for outside. Don't use DLP for outside they suck.

Yes. But, id advise you to find a cheaper projector if thats all you want to use it for. This is a top notch projector and if you wanted it for home viewing and portability out to the driveway then great. If its just for driveway use save yourself some money and get a cheap couple hundred dollar projector.

It's not recommended for boardrooms, but gaming and movies are decent in low ambient light. Movie titles and credit's are legible on a 7' x 4' cloth screen at night for backyard movies.

I have no regrets! For movies in the backyard where there are sometimes 20 people or more, this screen is FANTASTIC!

Yes! And maybe this is the best option. The wireless HDMI sometimes loses his signal for a few seconds. Anyways this projector is great

Yes! I needed to know myself so I set it up to see. Here are the parameters I used: set machine outside of garage approximately 40 feet from inside wall. Using HDMI input from my iphone as a source. Projected well onto the wal with decent clarityl. Moved closer and quality improved. This was done during daylight hours. Then I moved projector inside garage and closed the door to simulate evening (darker condition with one window uncovered). Projector approx 28 feet from wall. Image very clear with projection measuring approx 120" wide and 720" height. This works well at distance over 40' away and very well at 30' or less. However, the quality of the image is dependent on the amount of outside light. The darker the environment, the better the picture.

I would not recommend it for this projector. You may not be able to support properly.

Yes! its Great for projecting movies, that's the reason i bought it in the first place, I projected it on a wall at a friends yard and it looked great thank even though no screen wad used, lights off of course, I don't regret buying this projector at all! :) hope this helps.

I've used it to project some Youtube videos and also play a DVD from my laptop DVD player. It isn't perfect for showing movies because it isn't the brighest of projectors and it doesn't keep up with fast motion as in an action movie. I'd say that it is good enough to show a video clip or play a movie but it isn't going to be top quality home theater video. If the room is fairly dark it would probably look OK.

Yes! Easy to use. We host backyard movie gatherings. This projector set up worked perfectly.

Yeah!!.. Maybe space would be ok, you wanna spend money? buy this thing.. otherwise look for another projector (maybe a little more expensive, but operational)

The short answer is no - but I don't that that is viable with this item. It is glass with an opaque back, and there is glare from ambient light, so it's not likely a projector would be workable.

I would not recommend this for a home theater, unless you need it to be portable. If you plan on using as a dedicated home theater projector that will never be moved I would not recommend this machine. It is meant more for business applications/power point displays, etc and to be portable to move to different locations.

I think it would work well if you have a place to put it a straight shot to the screen. I have it 22 feet from the screen and it projects a 210" projection. I think it doesn't do too well with a lot of lighting. You can always try it and return it to Amazon if you're not satisfied. I'm very satisfied with it myself.

Hi beck. I am sorry I can't answer that for you. We only use it for our business in meetings and trainings. I am sure that it would be fine as a home projector as well. I just don't know about outdoors. I am sorry I am very little help here. Enjoy your summer. Cindy
