This was a scam and your roommate is a sucker.
It claims to project at 1080p, with 3d capabilities.
No, it certainly does not!
It claims it PROCESSES 1080p. That's a big difference from having an actual resolution of 1920x1080 which is what a 1080p projector does.
Likewise, what does '3d capabilities' mean? Does that mean that if you look at the projector with your eyes it appears to be 3d? Or does it mean that it accepts 3D Blu-ray Disc frame packed video signals and shows them on screen properly?
EDIT: HA-HA!!! I actually looked at their product page closer - It shows 'red and green' anaglyph glasses. TVs made 40+ years ago are compatible with anaglyph 3d. Of course, almost nothing in this world uses anaglyph 3d because of how shi....y it looks. So, not a 'scam' but a way to sucker people in. (end edit)
Really, it does NOT say for sure on this stuff... Go to their product page and take a look.
As is typical of the white van scam, the MSRP for the product and specifications are listed as being far higher than worthwhile. This is cheap Chinese imported junk which does not come anywhere near the specifications which have been listed. The actual specifications are not listed for that projector, and I strongly suggest you contact them and try to return the projector... or just get ANY service and support help at all.
What's that? You can't return the projector? You can't actually find any place that sells replacement lamps? (yeah, you BETTER hope those lamps last a while!) The customer service number doesn't work? Or doesn't even exist?
Epson, Panasonic, JVC, Sony... There is a reason why you have heard of those companies.
