3M Digital Projector S50

Advantages: Very Robust, Well Constructed, Will Last A Lifetime!
Disadvantages: No lamp counter

....5m tall, then this would give a diagonal span of 5m, so you could more than cover the whole wall if you could get 10m away, so that should hopefully help you grasp just how big that sort of size is. Most people will have an image size of 100" which is just over 2.5m diagonal, which this projector will cope with fine. As this projector is a Sanyo, the range of inputs is as always very good. I cannot understand why other companies decide it is a good idea to just put a single RCA (video) input, so you have to put the audio source through a 3.5mm jack when using a dvd player for example. Well Sanyo don't do this, you get the full three RCA (also known as video composite) inputs (these are the red, white and yellow inputs), this makes connecting a dvd player, or a sky box etc. that much easier. The projector also has an S-Video (also known... Read review

The menu features are set out in an easy and neat way for anyone to operate, with simple arrow buttons to move around the menus and selection is with the enter key located in the centre of them. There are security options, brightness and zoom features, location options (which basically means that if you fix the projector to the ceiling you can... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, good picture quality
Disadvantages: Fairly large by modern standards

...I was able to obtain this at a very advantageous price: at full RRP I probably would not have chosen it. Very easy to set up, though sometimes switching between the many options in the set-up menus can be cumbersome. Has the option of DVI input which not all projectors have, which suits my Apple Powerbook well, and I've been able to do joint presentations with both my Powerbook and someone else's PC-laptop plugged into the projector simulatneously, switching back and forth between the two computers simply using the projector's remote control. As with all DLP projectors the colours look a bit cold on screen, even after profiling with a Spyder, but it is a lot better than other (more expensive!) DLP projectors which I've seen in action....
