Can I use this projector to watch the movies on my laptop or to use my laptop's dvd player instead of a t.v set? Thanks.

Only if your laptop has standard RCA Audio and Video outputs, such as would connect to an old-style 4:3 aspect ratio television set. This projector uses that same aspect ratio, and also the same resolution as the old TVs. Also, remember you'll need to use this in a totally darkened room - the LED is fairly bright, but over a good sized area, the picture brightness is still too dim to use in a lit room.I've connected the EyeClops to a small, portable DVD player before, and had good luck with it, just kicked back in a dark basement room and watched movies.

I play my projector thru my computer. My computer is capable of surround sound. I just tell it to pump the sound out thru the computer instead of the hdmi.

If your laptop has a VGA out or S-Video connection all you need is the appropriate cable.v if you have HDMI, you will need an active HDMI to VGA adapter. Keep in mind that this will not pass sound, and you need an extra USB port to power the active adapter. DO NOT buy the HDMI to USB cable, it will not work.Otherwise, it is an excellent projector for the money. I picked up a refurbished unit for $169, and it works wonderfully. Steam streaming to a 100" screen is awesome looking on it. This is playing with all the graphics at max.

The projector needs this wireless adapter. Your computer sees this adapter as a wireless network and you connect to the SSID generated by this adapter. it works really well.One complication of this approach is that your laptop probably can only connect to one SSID at a time. So, if you are trying to project your laptop and you want your laptop to be displaying something from the web at the same time, you're probably out of luck unless you also have a wired connection, which may or may not work (I've never tried this).

Yes, if the laptop's screen resolution is greater than 1280x720. The DVI input on the projector will match the screen resolution from the laptop.

Yes you can connect to a projector if the projector has HDMI port. If not you have use a HDMI adaptor suitable for connecting to a projector device. This dell xps 12 laptop has one HDMI port.

This device is just a projector. If using a laptop your laptop should have speakers or use speakers that can be hooked up to your laptop.

Yes it can but you'll need a cable to convert it to whatever the projector is using (VGA, HDMI, etc...)

I just recently purchased a 76c, but I have not used it outside yet. That being said, the 76c is 5 times better than my old Proxima projector from 1996 and I used that outside all the time. Used to project it against a white sheet hung on the side of the house. I connected my laptop via s-video. Most dvd players have s-video out as well so you can go that route as well. There is no reason you can't project outside!

Yes, I can use it to watch DVD movie. But not the Blue-Ray disc movie. (need more research on this issue)

Actually, this particular projector doesn't allow you to download movies. I have a dvd player that I plug up to it. The quality of the picture displayed is excellent no matter the type of dvd player you use. It can be a cheap one or top of the line I've compared them.

I use the projector with my computer but as long as you have a video out, you can use it with any device with the right wiring i.e HDMI and may be a converter for the cable. That''s from VGA to HDMI.

Yes but you will need a device to stream it with. I use a WD player that you can connect a hard drive to, and the player has a HDMI output that you can connect to the projector... Hope that helps

I believe you could change the settings on your laptop to run the video through the HDMI but the audio through the laptop's speakers.EDIT 1: I just tried it out myself on a Windows 8 laptop and I was able to switch audio output from the projector to the laptop seamlessly.

either direct connection with a VGA cable or connect o PC via USB and connect that to projector as usual with VGA cable. You ge better resolution when going via PC

Yes you can. You just need to connect the main screen to a power source, put a DVD media and enjoy!

You can but it has to be through a laptop or the receiver that you would connected to the projector with an HDMI cable. You cant just plug the drive into the projector itself.
