Advantages: quiet, horizontal AND vertical keystone adjustment
Disadvantages: no gamma correction facility, low output

...home cinema projectors so unsurprisingly Sony have stripped the features to the minimum; the connectivity of the machine is pretty frugal, for example it has no component input and other technical specification prove that in all essence it’s a rather basic piece of kit with 800 x 600 pixels and 800ANSI Lumens brightness (for the non-techies out there this is quite low although sufficient for a projector). ~~~FEATURES AND SETUP~~~ Although essentially ...

This machine has three LCD panels fitted to improve colour accuracy and it uses high quality optics.

...a problem in a permanent installation. And the remote control was dead on arrival, but is being replaced very swiftly by Acer as I type. Go for this projector and you won't regret it. But I'm sure, as always with technology, it will be superseded soon if not now! ... 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
