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 ...
...picture quality in my opinion. Sony have obviously prioritised correctly with this piece of kit because naturally with any projector the key is to have a high picture quality. This machine has three LCD panels fitted to improve colour accuracy and it uses high quality optics. If you’ve got a suitably-equipped DVD player the VPL is also able to display a progressive scan image which a lot of the earlier models don’t. Setting up the unit is very straightforward, ...

Advantages: Great picture quality, high brightness, easy to operate
Disadvantages: none

This is a projector designed to work with a lap top and screen so you can do presentations or whatever where you want your computer screen projected. I also use it connected to a TV and VCR so you can project the image onto a larger screen, for showing to a whole room full of people. It costs £233 at the moment from the BT shop - that's the cheapest price I can find at the moment - I use mine at work, so I don't know what it actually cost. It is ...
...anywhere, and bore peole to death by powerpoint slide, on a global scale. It weighs a little over 6lbs, which is not bad, but if you can get the bloke in IT to set it up for you and carry it over, then I'd do that if I were you. It is a fabulous example of the genre. Firstly it's intelligent. It recognises when you've plugged something into it and you don't have to press a dozen buttons just to get it to talk to your laptop. I have a system with ... Read review

...design which is exclusive to Acer projectors. This feature makes it so simple to change the lamp and it shows that the designers put a lot of thought into this projector. The bulb type is P-VIP 160 watts, which can be replaced for around £140 online or in any specialist computer or electrical store. It also has a six segment color wheel which completely eliminates the color separation i.e rainbow effect experienced by a small percentage of people ...
...blur and lines. The Acer X1160 comes with a built in Keystoning capability which corrects the position of the picture on what it is display on. In other words if you place your projector below or above the desired location to be fully visible on screen then this product will automatically compress the picture digitally as necessary to provide a squarer image that will fit on your display. If you are worried about being environmentally friendly ... Read review

Advantages: Large imege from short distances
Disadvantages: expensive , lack of lens Zoom and lack of horizontal keystone

Ive just got the benq mp771 and i must say I am really disappointed with it , even though it has the capability of projecting large images in very small spaces it lacks from some basic features that every projector of this price should have , It also fails in recognizing signals from apple computers and you have to connect and disconnect VGA cable every time you want to project a VGA signal. I include the number of features this projector doesn't ...
...perfectly in angle. The benq mp771 DOSENT have a manual zoom, it only have manual focus in its lens, so it needs to be located exactly in a certain distance to fill your screen perfectly, that is a problem when you want to fit perfectly the image into a screen and you are planing some fiscal place to put the projector. The digital zoom only ZOOMS IN , what if I need a little more distance for the fiscal conditions to place the projector , why cant ... Read review

Advantages: Works in relatively bright conditions, quiet
Disadvantages: unreliable, very big, short bulb life

I have been using the Panasonic PT AX 100E as my main TV for just over a year now. The picture quality is extremely good in a dark room and quite watchable during the day even with the curtains open for all but the darkest movies. In bright conditions the colours can become a little washed-out although there are various viewing options on the remote control to compensate a little. For some very dark films however you should wait until the room can ... Read review
