Optoma HD720X

Advantages: Great picture, little rainbow effect, good looking projector.
Disadvantages: No internal speaker

...This is a really great projector, at a very impressive price (£529 on Play) - the cheapest WXGA I've seen! Many DLP projectors suffer from the "rainbow effect" but with this Optoma there is virtually no rainbow effect at all - this is due to the 4x speed colour wheel, which is faster than you would find in many other projectors. Out of the box, the picture is great. I found the yellows were maybe slightly muted but this can be adjusted by the on-screen menus. The actual projector looks very sleek - the black and silver case looks really classy - and it comes with all the inputs you could want, expect SCART, but don't worry - a SCART adapter comes in the box. Being HD ready, it's also got an HDMI port for your HD-DVD or Blu-ray. The remote is easy to use, and the buttons light up so you can see them in a darkened room. Thankfully...

...- The wall opposite the fire place). The projector produces almost NO sound when it is switched on, apart from the low hum of the internal fan and when the volume was turned up, This sound was driven out. Overview of the projector: DLP Display Technology For Great Viewing Native SVGA Resolution (800x600) 2000:1 Contrast Ratio Bright Display With 1800 ANSI Lumens # Large Digital Keystone Correction Range # 3000 Hours Of Lamp Life (I have yet to test this, but according to the information on the box, This is the case) # Ultra Quiet 27db Operation (Like I said before, Barely a whisper) # 1.9kg Weight (Because of this, I do NOT recommend fitting one of these to your ceiling.

DLP is here!

Advantages: Good Clear Pictures Fast Refresh Rate Easy To Set Up Loads Of Connenctions
Disadvantages: Gets Hot

...Having had a previous projector from Acer I was blown away with the quality of this one. It can be set up in minutes and focused in seconds. It has inferred sensors on the front and back, so where ever you put it you can still use the remote! The projector also has built in speakers and an audio connection on the back. The projector is 'plug and play', it took me about five minutes to set up and have a clear projection. Plug in the cables, press the Sync button, the projector will scroll through all its connections and stop when it finds something to project, truly amazing. The overall build quality is very good and feels like it will last for years, even the remote control. The bulb is labelled to last a huge 4000 hours, a huge improvement on the old technology. I have read loads about DLP now and a site well worth visiting, which...

Review of Optoma DS305

Can you buy a full HD projector on the cheap?

Advantages: Cheap and bright full HD machine
Disadvantages: Poor colour reproduction

...control allowing proper integration with integrated control systems such as AMX or Crestron as well as a web interface for monitoring over a network. There is also a USB port so the projector remote can be used to control your computer for powerpoint presentations for example. Picture quality The first thing you notice is the resulution that the full HD DLP chip brings to the EP1080. Even system graphics like the Optoma logo and the input information are crisp and clear. Plug in a laptop into the machine and you can put the resolution right up to 1080p and see full HD goodness from the internet such as BBC iplayer or Youtube HD. To get the best out of this machine you really need to connect a full HD source such as a Blue Ray player into the HDMI port and here you really enjoy the benefits of full high definition projection...

Review of Optoma EP1080

Portable home cinema packs a punch

Advantages: Great picture and sound. Portable. Comes with carry case. Reasonable price. Vertical keystone
Disadvantages: Lacks useful connection leads, small amount of 'arcing'. No Horizontal keystone.

...This is the product to choose if you don't have space for a dedicated movie room or don't want a great big LCD TV on your wall (after all, do you really want to watch Coronation Street on a big screen?). With a fantastic big picture, that frankly dwarfs large screen TVs, a built in DVD player and two built in 5 watt speakers, the DV11 is a one box cinema solution that can be packed neatly away at the end of the show. ***Picture Quality*** The picture quality is fantastic for the price (DV11 can currently be found for between £450 and £550). Great colour and contrast are produced by the 7 segment colour wheel, DLP technology, contrast ratio of 2,500:1 (this makes the blacks black and the whites white and means you can see what's going on even in dark scenes) and about 1600 ANSI lumens (this is a measure of brightness, and generally...
