Projectors > Hewlett-Packard Projectors

Decent quality for the price. Great picture, but a few drawbacks.

Advantages: VERY good picture quality + vibrant/rich colour reproduction.
Disadvantages: Noise levels, slight blur when watching fast moving objects.

Well, after scouring the internet for reviews on this projector, I decided to buy one. I picked it up for a great price (AUD$550 ex demo model). I wouldnt consider myself a projector expert by any means, but I've seen a fair few in action. The connectivity of this unit is pretty good. I use this projector instead of a TV at home, and predominantly use the component connections. With a good set of Belkin shilded leads, the picture is very crisp with ...
...much better than any LCD projectors I've seen. I've also run video through the composite connections and the quality is not too bad at all. I've never run the unit through the VGA port but I would imagine it would not be too bad. The projector is set up about 2.5-3m away from the wall and works quite comfortably without maxing out the zoom to a minimum. (Some projectors I've seen have to be at least 3m away to get a decent picture...**cough...optoma**). ...

Review of HP Digital Projector Vp6120

A Portable Device With A Great Display

Advantages: Bright Clear display
Disadvantages: Quite Expensive, Not quiet

The HP MP3130 digital light processing (DLP) projector differs from most others in the market as it sits vertically rather than horizontally. HP's reasoning behind this is that, if placed on a table, it will be able to rise above the coffee cups and notebooks. Weighing less than 2kg, it's also extremely portable. Buttons and sockets are clearly labelled on the unit and it comes complete with a remote control. The remote feels a little delicate, ...
...easier on the eye. It's also capable of automatically adjusting the vertical keystone correction. Cheaper projectors are available but few will be able to match the clarity and the brightness of the MP3130. If you're prepared to shell out the cash, this HP DLP projector gets the job done. ...

Review of HP Digital Projector Mp3130

MP772ST is a great short throw projector

Advantages: Incredibly convenient and great quality projection, has short throw technology
Disadvantages: doesn't come with any input cables

I own and manage a small business selling electronics parts to various technology companies, so I require a projector that combines high quality, durability, and portability. I will first say that short throw technology's usefulness cannot be overstated. I take it everywhere with me, making pitches and presentations that require a large amount of flexibility as far as screen size and inputs. Although most people use a D-sub input, I have run into ...
...it is handy to have that option. For the most part though, I do bring my own laptop and rely on that for presentations. As far as screen size, I've projected on screens from as small as 50" to as large as 250". The adjustment is quite intuitive, and with a bit of practice it becomes a less than one minute process of finding the perfect picture. The MP772ST projects everything in great quality, including video and text. With its flexibility and all ...

Review of BenQ MP772ST

About as good as it gets

Advantages: Image brightness, Picture quality, Build quality, Reliability.
Disadvantages: Very heavy, very expensive

This is the kind of projector that you wouldn't imagine is easy to review, there's so many good sides, with one major downside which is hopefully justified by the good sides. This is a machine which has been designed and built without compromise in any area and has lots of innovation to improve the reliability and versatility of this machine. This is a 10000 lumen full HD chipped projector which is ideally suited to large screen home cinema applications ...
...source you put into this machine it makes the best use of it and reproduces it absolutely faithfully. From standard composite video, right up to full HD Blue-Ray via the DVI input the picture is stunning. The image is produced by a 3 DLP chip system, one for red, green and blue parts of the image. This means you get the image quality and colour reproduction of LCD, with the contrast and durability of DLP. This also means this projector is ideally ...

Review of Panasonic PT-DW10000

Great, with a few hiccups..

Advantages: Great picture quality, especially from HD sources..
Disadvantages: few niggles, poor power connection

...back after a recommendation for optoma DLP projectors. Was also reasonably priced for a HD projection system. Have this hooked up to my PS3 though its HDMI connection at present and it works like a dream, the picture quality is amazing in HD. Watching Bluerays is like being in the cinema. It is possible to use during the day as long as it is not too bright and the projected surface is not in direct light. Have also connected via my laptop and the ...
...slight problem with the power cable, loose connection, however I got this replaced and has caused me no problems since. The projector has also kept telling me the bulb is reaching the end of its useful life, so I bought a new bulb. however it is still working 6 months after warning me. In my opinion it is a great little projector for home cinema use. ...
