Advantages: Good price
Disadvantages: Low resolution

...This is projector is affordable but still has some positive features. The resolution of 1024 x 768 allows clear projection with much detail. However if you are interested in High definition or multimedia i would not recommend this. However for business or education this is perfect. The 2200 ANSI Lumens allows the pictures to be very bright in well lit conditions. It was very easy to set this up and epson provided all the cables in needed. This epson website is also very helpful for driver and software updates. Even though this is not a DLP projector i think this projector meets its demands nicely and is a good price. Other products to consider would be the Optoma range since they also are very good.... Read review

Advantages: HDTV ready and compatible,DVD and 5,1 Audio system functions, Image quality
Disadvantages: The price is high but worth every penny; Took 1000 words to review :)

...theaters are based on this technology and the quality is just great. One application is DLP front projectors (small standalone projection units). DLP, along with LCD and LCoS are the current display technologies behind rear-projection television, having supplanted CRT projectors. These rear-projection technologies compete against LCD and Plasma flat panel displays in the HDTV market. In DLP projectors, the image is created by microscopically small mirrors laid out in a matrix on a semiconductor chip, known as a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD). Each mirror represents one or more pixels in the projected image. The number of mirrors corresponds to the resolution of the projected image (often half as many mirrors as the advertised resolution due to wobulation) 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x720, and 1920x1080 (HDTV) matrices are some common DMD sizes...

Advantages: Low price, vivid colour, ease of use and setup
Disadvantages: Resolution could be a bit higher, slight screen-door effect

...I bought this projector for my home cinema system and i have been very impressed with it. For the money, i don't think there is a better projector packed with features and superb ease of use. The picture quality is more than satisfactory for watching DVD's and playing PlayStation games, and i also use it for viewing photos from my PC. More die-hard home cinema enthusiasts may find the resolution not up to scratch, and it does suffer slightly from the screen door effect, but i find the picture excellent. Another obvious benefit is the massive lamp life of 4000 hours, which means it'll be a very long time before it needs changing. I have also found that this projector has one of the cheapest replacement lamp prices around, from just £140. The brightness is brilliant and this projector is so easy to set up and use that anybody could use... Read review

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 quality even in very high ambient-light. The projector has a resolution of XGA (1024 x 768), this simply means fine display of even the smallest details. - 3LCD Projection 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... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, lots of features, lightweight and compact, energy efficient
Disadvantages: It will do everything except make you a cup of tea.

...the resolution on your computer or laptop. SmartFormat Technology has a simple mode which allows for easy extension between speakers for presentation use. The resolution is 800 x 600 SVGA. There are two main types of resolution, SVGA (800x600) and XGA (1024x768) these apply to computer outputs as well so it is advisory to check the resolution of your computer before you purchase a projector however most XGA projectors will support SGVA formats without much loss in quality but displaying an XGA format on an SVGA projector will make it difficult to see with 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... Read review

Advantages: 1280 x 1024 Maximum Resolution
Disadvantages: Not designed for ceiling mounting.

...This is a great projector overall. I recognise that this is a fairly old projector and pretty much outdated, but as I work with secondhand electronics, I am seeing this projector becoming more and more popular. If you are looking to buy one secondhand I wouldn't expect you to pay any more than £200 at most. Please do not be put off by the fact that this projector has a brightness of 600 lumens. It is on par with projectors of around 1500 lumens. Infact, it is far better than most projector of double the brightness (1200 lumens) the projectors that come to mind are Toshiba's, but I'll review some of them later. I think that this projector is popular for a couple of reasons. One is that it has a max resolution of 1280 X 1024 which is superior than most new projectors and certainly beats any projector in it's price range. The second... Read review

Advantages: Portability - appearance - resolution
Disadvantages: Price

....00 but is now available for considerably less if you are prepared to shop around. With 1500 ANSI lumens it is bright enough for presentations in reasonably large venues with the support of blinds at the windows or can cope with daylight presentations in smaller venues and still provide a crisp and clear image. The resolution of 1024 x 768 puts it out of the entry level products and this is one of the most significant aspects to affect the price of the projector. Although this makes no noticeable difference when presenting from TV/video/DVD, when connected to the computer the additional resolution helps to provide a far crisper image, especially when displaying text. As much of the presentational use of projectors still relies on PowerPoint or an equivalent, this ‘easier to read’ text is a real benefit and I’m sure appreciated... Read review

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... Read review

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... Read review
