Advantages: Looks Great - Very Stylish, Compact & Very Light.
Disadvantages: Not Bright Enough At All

The Toshiba TLP-S30 Projector This projector is very aesthetically pleasing, it looks very modern and and the face of it looks to be a great projector. There are several important factors to look at when considering buying a projector and that is the brightness. This projector boasts a 1400 lumen lamp. For those of you who aren't used to projector terminology, lumens are just a unit for the measure of how bright the bulb in a projector is (and ...
...Now this isn't an amazing brightness, but the Sanyo PLC-SU20 (just as an example) works comfortably at 1200 lumens and around 1500 lumens is really what somebody new to projectors should probably be looking at. So the brightness of this projector is good then you woul think. Well actually no; On paper the projector should perform very well, but the projector seems to have a brightness of closer to 400 lumens. If your looking for a projector to use ... Read review

Advantages: Toshiba TDP S20
Disadvantages: keystone adjustments not very useful

...about their useability. the Toshiba TDP S20 comes packed with connectors for connecting almost anything. you get 1x RCA, 1x S-Video, 2x RGB 1x mini D-sub 15, shared with RGB signal Audio 1x stereo mini-jack, 2x RCA for Video, 2x RCA for S-video and it seems to take any format thrown at it NTSC, PAL, SECAM, HDTV/DTV (480p/480i/720p/1080i), DVD, RGB, VGA, SVGA, XGA (compressed), SXGA (compressed), UXGA (compressed), MAC. you also get a remote ...
...and the remote works from back or front of the projector. my only real problem with this projector was the keystone correction. -(when you cant lay the projector dead flat the image tapers the keystone corrects it)- you can only change the vertical kaystone and the range is not to great only about 15 degrees which is nearly flat i found myself using the projector upside down to compensate. once in place and setup you only need the remote to control ...

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

Advantages: Large imege from short distances
Disadvantages: expensive , lack of lens Zoom and lack of horizontal keystone

Ive just got the benq mp771 and i must say I am really disappointed with it , even though it has the capability of projecting large images in very small spaces it lacks from some basic features that every projector of this price should have , It also fails in recognizing signals from apple computers and you have to connect and disconnect VGA cable every time you want to project a VGA signal. I include the number of features this projector doesn't ...
...perfectly in angle. The benq mp771 DOSENT have a manual zoom, it only have manual focus in its lens, so it needs to be located exactly in a certain distance to fill your screen perfectly, that is a problem when you want to fit perfectly the image into a screen and you are planing some fiscal place to put the projector. The digital zoom only ZOOMS IN , what if I need a little more distance for the fiscal conditions to place the projector , why cant ... Read review

Advantages: Works in relatively bright conditions, quiet
Disadvantages: unreliable, very big, short bulb life

have been using the Panasonic PT AX 100E as my main TV for just over a year now. I paid £900 for it then, but the price has dropped and even the improved PT AX200 can now be bought for about £700. The picture quality is extremely good in a dark room and quite watchable during the day even with the curtains open for all but the darkest movies. In bright conditions the colours can become a little washed-out although there are various viewing options ...
...that hasn't fixed the problem. Panasonic have not replied to my requests for help. Bulb-life is just 2000 hours when used in normal mode. I'm going to give up and go back to a proper telly. Update: I complained to Panasonic customer services, rather than trying to use customer support, and they immediately got back to me and said that they will look at the projector for me, despite it being out of warranty. A kind gentleman who read this review ... Read review
