Sharp, reliable image (Philips Garbo LC6231)

Advantages: Feature Set, connectivity, brightness
Disadvantages: Cool down period

I have been teaching using one of these for nearly a year now and I have been very pleased with it. The brightness and clarity that this projector produces are such that I often forget to turn off the lights when using it. Very impressive. This machine has all the features you would expect, a good remote control with easy access to all features, a warning when you turn off to ensure that you don't do so accidentally and all the inputs I ever need ...
...Audio, Component Audio and VGA. It also has onboard sound which can be useful along with easily accessible volume and mute controls. The keystone function works well and levels itself very quickly while the manual focus is a breeze to use with fine tuning achieved simply. Replacement bulbs are not too expensive, however the supplied bulb has lasted the machine 3 years! If I had a complaint it is the cool down period between turning off and back on, ...

Philips Hopper SV20 A Function Over Form Projector

Advantages: Silent operation, good speaker, very well constructed.
Disadvantages: Heavy at 5kg, and very bulky.

...brand name. When asked about Philips projectors people will usually think of the BSure range. These projectors where renowned for being silent when in operation. You literally couldn't hear them running when they were new. One of the major problems with projectors is the noise the fans make due to the speed they haveto run at just to cool the bulb. Philips have clearly adopted the technology from their BSure range and put it into this projector as ...
...I get the impression by the robustness of this projector that it was designed to be transported a lot and probably aimed at people looking to buy for office presentation use. Whih with it's almost silent operation it would be very suited to. However at just under 5kg and with is large size: Width: 31.5 cm Depth: 25.4 cm Height: 10.9 cm I don't really think that it would be best suited to this. However it is portable, so if you had one in an office ...

Review of Philips Hopper SV20 Impact

12 little runners still going strong

Advantages: Durability, reliability, functions
Disadvantages: Weight

I am in the fortunate position of being able to review not one but twelve of these data projectors. Almost four years ago I held a position involving purchasing for a number of consumers and having researched the budget data projector market thoroughly, ordered twelve of these projectors. Now, we are able to look back on almost four years of light to medium usage and agree that the purchase was seriously good value for money. Let's take a look at ...
...it stand out from the crowd in what was and still is a crowded end of the market. PORTABILITY We wanted these projectors for portable use. They had to be moveable on site and even off site. This projector was sold at the time with a well padded carry case. Now, don't get me wrong ... multimedia projectors are reasonably weighty pieces of kit, but this projector is moveable in it's carry case. Good advice for people purchasing a projector to be mobile ...

Robust and reliable

Advantages: Size, ease of use
Disadvantages: COST

...light and bright with the Philips UGO (tm) Series, one of the smallest projectors in the world. Anywhere you go anytime you go" and I guess as far as it goes that is absolutely true. Whoever saw it when it was new reacted with "is that all??". It is indeed very compact, smaller than a notebook, it its own padded travel case, with an extra bag to carry cables etc - but that one is less fragile so happily gets squashed into any available space. I have ...
