Epson EMP S4, one small, great projector

Advantages: Portable, quick to turn on/off, very easy to set up and use.
Disadvantages: Loud cooling system, rubbish internal speaker.

...I bought 10 Epson EMP S4 projectors for school I work for at summer 2006. Below you will find my personal opinion after one year of using and maintaining that product, but first short description. Epson EMP S4 is updated (in 2006) version of EMP S3. Epson's EMP S(x) line of projectors is design to suit mobile and office users. And it does it perfectly. It's small (33X25X9cm) and light (2.6kg). It comes with small remote control and a bag with shoulder strap. It's brightness (1800 ANSI lumens) and resolution (800x600) is sufficient to display presentation (text, photos and short movies) at 2-6m distance onto white wall or whiteboard (usage professional project screen will improve image brightness and sharpness) in bright room. It has three types of video inputs (15 pin VGA, S-video and composite video input), so at the same time...

Review of Epson EMP X5

Project Yourself

Advantages: Movies like they are meant to be seen
Disadvantages: Pricely bulbs

...purchased the Epson EMP S5 projector from play.com for £250. Expense would not have been an issue selling my prize TV pocketed me well over £1000, so I could have gone higher but to be perfectly honest I thought this was the same projector I used at work, which was good enough for me. So my projector arrived and I soon realised that it was not the same one I use at work, but that was fine I still wanted it, I NEEDED it in fact. Setting up the projector is a doddle, more so than setting up a TV, you simply position the projector where you want it and plug the wires in. You can have sound through the projector, but having a cinema sound DVD player I never felt there was much reason to do this, onboard sound being only mono. You can connect a DVD player via AVI sockets or S Video socket; however there is no HDMI or Scart option. I should...

Review of Epson EMP S5

Project your personality

Advantages: Outstanding quality and colour. Incredible value for money.
Disadvantages: Can overheat, doesn't work well in daylight.

...The Epson EMP-TW10H is brilliant! When I went to look for projectors in several shops I realised my fears that I wasn?t going to be bale to get a decent one for under a grand that would be good for a home cinema. Obviously, like most, I don?t just have this kind of money just floating around for me to use and I would have to think very seriously about such a purchase. Then I saw the Epson EMP-TW10H and was surprised at how cheap even for any projector it was. It was retailing in PC world for £300. So I thought there is no harm in asking about it. The assistant informed me that unfortunately it wouldn?t be able to handle moving images and that it would be no use for a home cinema, but I persisted and asked to see it in action. The shop assistant brushed the dust of the old charm and started it up with a DVD and he himself was surprised...

Review of Epson EMP TW10H

classic 50's sci-fi

Advantages: classic sci fi film
Disadvantages: shows its age

...This is still a very good and very watchable film even now. All the Martian "sounds" are pretty much part of the main stay of Science Fiction sound effects today. The film sets The Martians as totally different from humans, creating an "Us & Them" situation mirroring the East Versus West fears of The Cold War in an already paranoid America telling it's people to beware of Reds Under The Bed. Of course the first response is to send in the military to try and suppress the Martians. Even though only 3 men and a plane and its crew have been destroyed, it is already clear that back then the concept of "acceptable losses" had not been formed. The 1st big mistake is the heat ray that the ship fires to kill the first 3 men when the "meteor" hatch unscrews. The EMP(electro magnetic pulse) that seems to stop watches. Back in 1953 most if not all...

Review of The War Of The Worlds (DVD)

"Send in the drones!!!"

Advantages: great online play
Disadvantages: offline is lacking

...capturing,blowing up or rebuilding certain radars or buildings. The online gameplay is even better than the campaign, this is because the game was built more for online play than anything, alot more has gone into it. There are five classs;support,assault,heavy assault,close combat and scout each with there own unique weapons and skills. After you've choosen your class you can also pick a speciailality;drone tech,ground support(deployable turrets),air support and EMP tech. Once you've picked your perfect soldier you can finally move to the battlefield where you can spawn at any strategic point you have captured. Go it alone or with your sqaud, use vechiles, tanks heli's to destroy your enemy. (personally i love getting into heli vs heli fighting it is probably one of the hardest fights for online) Personally i love the game and think that it...

Review of Frontlines: Fuel Of War (Xbox 360)

Anything it hasn't got??

Advantages: Price,Graphics,Wii remote actions,gadgets,dual objectives
Disadvantages: may take a while to get used to controls

...resulting in different outcomes and ultimately different storylines. The many gadgets available is also great with many visions available (handy for defusing bombs), many grenades, EMP device, wall mines, sticky shockers (shocks your enemies). I have not yet completed this game as it takes a while! So I have much more to find, as well as all that has been discovered so far. However it does take a while to get used to all the controls and everything. I definitely recommend this game, especially due to the price: Amazon - £13.97 - You can't really moan at that! 10/10...
