Advantages: Cinema size and excellant picture quality
Disadvantages: sound quality

This home projection system was quite costly to buy - at £900 from the tesco webstie less than 12months ago. This was my first ever projector and i am not tech minded so i had no idea what i was looking for - all i wanted was something that could project to a cinema size standard. When it arrived i was impressed with its size, quite compact and the black colouring gave off a professional finish. It was also really easy to set up, literally plugged ...
...comfortably on my side table in the middle of the room - with just the power cable on show - preferably i would like NO wires on show, but i cant have everything. For my first projector i am impressed with the quality of the screen - i dont have one of those white background sheets, i just project it onto my cream wall and the quality is top notch and very large. The speaker quality is adequate, however during explosions scenes or loud music scenes ... Read review

Advantages: low weight, good price
Disadvantages: fixed zoom ratio

...use. Short-throw technology: The BenQ MP512 ST comes with the short-throw feature which means that the distance between screen/wall and projector is greatly reduced due to a different lense design. A short-throw projector is always a good solution if you have any kinds of space constraints. For Example at home, spaces are limited but you still can have a big screen if you place the projector on the sofa table. In case of holding a presentation ... Read review

Advantages: big screen size
Disadvantages: not hd so screen quality slighty lacking

my friend owns one and its a good buy for a cheap slighlty cinema experiance but you should avoid if usin in a small room as it generates a lot of heat an has a constant humming to it that makes you want to throw it out the window! so the pro`s are 1) the screen size can be changed to fit your wall/sreen or what ever up to something stupid like 90" i belive. 2)its fun for big multiplayer games e.g halo3, mario party 3) a cheap way to get a party/cinema ...
...your way an looks kinda smart the con`s are 1)not hd and when my friend bougth this it wasnt that big but now hd is so much cheaper an move availible it would be worth upgradin to an hd model if you have the cash 2)picture quality fades when the screen is made bigger so best to keep it about 60" 3)again its the heat it generates theres no need for heaters with this thing in your room 4)is rather difficult to install if you wish to wall mount it ...

Advantages: Impressive value for money
Disadvantages: just in black...

Well ...after 1 month I purchased, I'm still impressed about what you get for (just) £240 . Actually I just use for watching avi movies, dvds and documentaries, ocassionally as a massive TV replacement. The cinematic experience is as real as never I experienced before, enjoying a huge 6-8 feet width screen on your home. Really affordable choice comparing to a plasma TV cost, or another projectors around £600-800 that not neccesarily are gonna offer ...
...efficiently. Bright enough for use under daylight conditions. Massively bright by night. Out the box working after maybe 2 min, no probs at all. Quiet enough for me. (Its was my main worry) About contrast and dinamic range,definition ...better results using the vga input rather than the rca or s-video connectors. And aditionally... discret, elegant, simple and functional design. I dont miss any functionality or feature at all. It has all you ... Read review

Advantages: Big image when placed one meter from the wall
Disadvantages: didn't notice any so far

...I decided to buy this BenQ MP771. I've been working with it for several days now and I have to say that it met all my expectations. So far I am very satisfied. I like its short-throw technology because I place the projector only one meter away from the wall and I still get a huge picture displayed, about 70". That's perfect as my meeting room is not that big. You have to imagine that a standard projector which a friend borrowed me only managed a ...
...I can't complain either. The BenQ MP771 offers bright and clear pictures. The reason are high 3000 ANSI lumen which creates a great brightness. Also the hight contrast ratio of 2000:1 which produces very sharp pictures contributes to the good overall picture impression (just for comparison, an standard contrast ration is 400:1). The noise level is low, during start and shutdown the cooler can be heard but during normal operation mode no noise is ... Read review
