Perhaps the most common use for the HP MP3220 Digital Projector will be for presentations via PowerPoint or similar programs. The HP MP3220 Digital Projector is great for this type of task. No matter the screen size, the projected images from PowerPoint were clear and legible. I also liked the fact that after use the HP MP3220 Digital Projector cooled down quickly so I could pack it up and be on my way.

My favorite thing to do with the HP MP3220 Digital Projector was to play video games with it. F.E.A.R looked superb on a six foot wide screen! I noticed no ghosting or lag when gaming with the HP MP3220 Digital Projector. Even in dark game environments, like the ones common in Doom 3, the HP MP3220 had good grey scale contrast and picture quality.

The HP MP3220 Digital Projector has a really cool lens cover that is securely connected to the projector body. To use the MP3220 you simply rotate the lens cover to the side, uncovering the lens. The cool part about the lens cover is that you can't loose it.

While the carry case the HP MP3220 Digital Projector comes with is padded and holds the wireless remote and power cord and has pouches for other connection cables, it only includes a standard VGA cable. No S-Video or component cables are included with the projector.
