Project yourself to a wider audience

Advantages: Lightweight, easy to use
Disadvantages: Difficult to find

In recent years the cost of a digital data projector has reduced considerably and it is now possible to find small portable projectors for under £500. This means that they are in the range which is not only useful in business, they are now affordable as a way of watching DVDs and TV programmes in really widescreen at home! I needed a digital projector for use at work and I wanted something lightweight as I needed to take it out and about. I have ...
...small trolley to facilitate moving them so weight was very much an issue to me. I discovered the Plus range - they are manufactured by the Plus Vision Corporation of Tokyo and are available from a wide range of retail outlets in the UK. I bought ours from a local office equipment supplier but many of the major retailers stock them including Amazon. The technical stuff for those who are interested in ALL of it - I'll talk about the bits that swayed ...

Review of Taxan U5 Series 111

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. ...

Review of Optoma ThemeScene HD65

Mini LED Projector with USB connectivity!

Advantages: LED bulb, quick on quick off, USB connectivity
Disadvantages: Wish it was offered in multiple colors

...that’s when I found the BenQ GP1. Of course, you can’t compare the performance between the GP1 and the HD20, but I got to say, for the price you pay for the GP1 and the size and weight of it, it really is an amazing mini projector. Although only with 100 lumens, it is 100 lumens of LED (RGB not white) lamination, and I must say if you compare it with standard LCD or DLP 100 lumens, the LED’s 100 lumens are quite a few multiples higher. And the device ...
...Another great thing is that the GP1, being LED, is able to have instant on/off capabilities, which saves a lot of time. And you can forget about changing bulbs, as LED bulbs will last at least 20,000 hours. The best part about the GP1 is that it comes equipped with a USB port and I also bought the extra adapter for iPod /iPhone connectivity so I could just plug in my iPhone and play movies onto the wall whenever and wherever I want. That’s the great ...

Review of BenQ Joybee GP1

happy owner

Advantages: see above
Disadvantages: see above

The Joybee is definitely my favorite and most useful tool I've come upon in a long time. In a world where portability is becoming more and more important (and I travel quite a bit), it's also gotten me through quite a few tough spots. I often carry it in my briefcase and use it on the road. I frequently put movies and sports on my flash drive and hook up my Joybee on the train to get through the commute and catch up on my football. One great example ...
...weeks ago. I was in a client's office and, instead of crowding around his 24 inch monitor to look through some slides, I pulled it out of my bag and we projected the powerpoint on the wall to the tune of about three times that size. The projection quality is great, the resolution allows you to read text easily and videos and slides look really good, and it's bright enough for pretty much anywhere not in direct sunlight. It doesn't hurt that you don't ...
