Review of Acer X1160 by
Realisticguy
Advantages: Impressive value for money
Disadvantages: just in black...
Well ...after 1 month I purchased, I'm still impressed about what you get for (just) £240 .
Actually I just use for watching avi movies, dvds and documentaries, ocassionally as a massive TV replacement. The cinematic experience is as real as never I experienced before, enjoying a huge 6-8 feet width screen on your home.
Really affordable choice comparing to a plasma TV cost, or another projectors around £600-800 that not neccesarily are gonna offer ... ...efficiently.
Bright enough for use under daylight conditions. Massively bright by night.
Out the box working after maybe 2 min, no probs at all. Quiet enough for me. (Its was my main worry) About contrast and dinamic range,definition ...better results using the vga input rather than the rca or s-video connectors.
And aditionally... discret, elegant, simple and functional design.
I dont miss any functionality or feature at all. It has all you ...

pro`s and con`s
Review of Epson EMP S5 by
turke54
Advantages: big screen size
Disadvantages: not hd so screen quality slighty lacking
my friend owns one and its a good buy for a cheap slighlty cinema experiance but you should avoid if usin in a small room as it generates a lot of heat an has a constant humming to it that makes you want to throw it out the window!
so the pro`s are
1) the screen size can be changed to fit your wall/sreen or what ever up to something stupid like 90" i belive.
2)its fun for big multiplayer games e.g halo3, mario party
3) a cheap way to get a party/cinema ... ...your way an looks kinda smart
the con`s are
1)not hd and when my friend bougth this it wasnt that big but now hd is so much cheaper an move availible it would be worth upgradin to an hd model if you have the cash 2)picture quality fades when the screen is made bigger so best to keep it about 60" 3)again its the heat it generates theres no need for heaters with this thing in your room 4)is rather difficult to install if you wish to wall mount it ...

Surj1
Advantages: High Brightness, 3LCD Projection System, AIAS (Advanced Intelligent Auto Setup), Short Focal Length
Disadvantages: Abit Noisy
The Sony VPL CX21 is a bright, slim, and stylish projector designed for mobile applications. A friend of mine has this and we always watch movies on it. The projector has many features which I've written about below with brief explanation of each feature:
- High Brightness of 2100 ANSI Lumens
The projector has three Sony 0.63-inch LCD panels and a latest designed 165 W lamp, it has a brightness of 2100 ANSI lumens, which provides amazing image ... ...System
This is what the Sony projector is all about, it has a 3LCD projection system which means the projected images are bright and natural and for this to be achieved it has 3 LCD panels. It provides high light transmission and excellent colour reproduction. It even provides smooth gradients in dark areas and helps prevent the colour from breaking up. - AIAS (Advanced Intelligent Auto Setup)
By switching on the power, the projector automatically ...
