Digital Projection M-Vision Cine LED w/ 1.56 – 1.86 Lens Projector Review

Digital Projection M-Vision Cine LED w/ 1.56 – 1.86 Lens Projector Review

Digital Projection is a wide selection of LED projectors, including the M-Vision Cine LED w/ 1.56 – 1.86 lens. This model features a full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, 600 ANSI lumens, and a 10000:1 contrast ratio. Recently, the writers from Ultimate AV Magazine were excited to review this projector with their new 100’ screen. The first aspect that they liked about the Cine is the LED lamp. This lamp can run for up to 60000 hours and uses a fraction of the energy of similar projectors. After the setup, the writers tested the projector’s user interface to see how well it worked. They found that the remote was very useful and powerful enough to control the projector from anywhere in the room. The one thing that annoyed the writers during setup was that they needed an included Allen wrench to adjust the lens shift. Obviously it’s designed to set and leave it, but the setting up part was still a bother. The writers were not terrible impressed with the image quality. While testing the BrilliantColor feature they noticed that the color looked muted and softer when it was on, which is counterintuitive. They also noticed that the contrast needed more depth and that the black levels were not what they expected. The writers concluded their review by stating, ‘After spending some time with this projector, I’m convinced that LED illumination is a viable alternative to conventional lamps, offering many advantages and few drawbacks. And this particular model is among the least-expensive of those that have been announced so far. If you have the right room and screen, the M-Vision Cine LED will deliver an engaging image that’s sure to please for 60,000 hours to come.’

Epson BrightLink 450Wi Ultra-Short Throw Interactive Projector

Epson BrightLink 450Wi Ultra-Short Throw Interactive Projector

Epson’s recently announced BrightLink 450Wi ultra-short throw projector is able to produce an image from 55 to 102-inches in size depending on how far it’s mounted from a wall, and whether it’s running WXGA or XGA resolutions. For example, at a distance of just 18 inches it’s able to project a respectable 60-inch diagonal image, but for compact spaces it can be mounted as close as 2.8 inches, though that will result in a considerably smaller image.

But that’s not the only trick it has up its sleeve. The BrightLink 450Wi is also an interactive projector, and includes a set of digital infrared pens allowing the presenter to doodle or annotate directly on the image being projected. The best feature though is that when the projector becomes available sometime in Spring 2010 it’s expected to sell for under $2,000.

Sanyo PLV-Z3000 Projector Review

Sanyo PLV-Z3000 Projector Review

One of the latest home theater projectors to come from Sanyo is the PLV-Z3000. This model has 1200 ANSI lumens, full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, and a 65000:1 contrast ratio. Today, the writers from Expert Reviews released their findings on this projector. The first thing they mention is that the Z3000 is ugly. The grey chassis and boxy design is not pretty, but at least it is built to last a long time. The writers also think that the remote control is ugly, but useful because it has everything clearly labeled and it has a backlight. After setting up the projector, the writers were happy to see an easy to use menu and several pre-set modes. The problem though is that none of the modes looked perfect on their screen. Fortunately though, the projector does have color, contrast, and brightness settings in order to tweak the image. The image quality was well balanced for the most part. The only concern was that some of the colors did not look as good as the others. The final comment the writer made was, ‘The Z3000 has more options than many more expensive projectors. Its colors aren’t the most vivid we’ve seen, but were generally pleased by its intense blacks and balanced color.’

Epson EH-DM3 Projector Review

Epson EH-DM3 Projector Review

The Epson EH-DM3 is the newest model to feature a built in DVD player. The projector can display 2000 ANSI lumens, a 3000:1 contrast ratio, and a 940 x 540 resolution. Today, PC World released their review of this projector. For as big as the projector is, it is incredibly light and is very versatile. The added DVD player allows users to enjoy their favorite movies anywhere with out having to worry about cords or extra electronics. One thing the writers really liked was the dual 10 watt speaker system, which is about the same quality speakers you would find in an HDTV. The image was pretty decent as the writers complimented the color saturation, sharpness, and brightness. The writers could not find any major problems with the EH-DM3. However, they did think that the retail price was a little high. They concluded by stating, ‘This is no business projector, focusing only on multimedia content. The Epson EH-DM3 may be a bit pricey but it does sufficient justice to its claim of being a home theater projector, and comes equipped with all the necessary features — not to mention a very good pair of built-in speakers. If you want to take movie-watching beyond the realms of a large screen television, take a look at the Epson EH-DM3.’

Clamshell Home Projector is Cheapest Projector Available

Clamshell Home Projector is Cheapest Projector Available

For those who like bizarre products, here is a new projector that is hitting the market. The creator is an artist in China, but for what company is unknown. The projector looks like a CD player, but one side can be opened up to show the projector lens. The Clamshell Home Projector does not have any specifications listed with it, except that it has a built in speaker system. With no specifications it’s impossible to say exactly how good the projector will perform. However if the $50 retail price says anything, then this projector might be as good as the Senario Torpedo when it was reviewed.

Acer X1261 Projector Review

Acer X1261 Projector Review

One of the best Acer home theater projectors available today is the X1261. This projector can display 2500 ANSI lumens, a 3700:1 contrast ratio, and a native XGA (1024 x 768) resolution. Today, Tech Tree released their review of this projector. The first thing that they writers mentioned was its 3D capability. The projector is compatible with the NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision system in order to display 3D content. Another feature that they writers liked was the remote control. It performed well but they especially liked the fact that it could attach to the projector’s top. The writers got to test the projector with the GeForce system and they were completely blown away. The 120 Hz processor delivered fast moving images and incredible 3D images. The only concern about the image quality was that the brightness could have been more. But if they adjust the projector’s brightness any higher, the image would start to look washed out. The final verdict that the writers made was, ‘The Acer X1261 was a first in the wave of 3D projectors to hit India, as I’m hoping other companies will quickly follow suite. Apart from the slight color banding and fringing issue observed, the Acer X1261 is a good 3D projector at a reasonable price (unless someone wants to prove us wrong) and is recommended. ’

Hitachi CP-DW10N Short Throw Projector Announced

Hitachi CP-DW10N Short Throw Projector Announced

Hitachi America has introduced its CP-DW10N 3LCD projector, boasting short throw capabilities, as well as networking functionality and widescreen display. One of the more useful features of this projector is its short throw distance of 3 feet, allowing you to project to an 87-inch interactive whiteboard from a distance of 37-inches. Thanks to its networking functionality, it can be controlled and maintained remotely, as well as controlling multiple projectors in different rooms, and monitoring functions such as remaining lamp life. The CP-DW10N features a WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution, and a 16:10 aspect ratio, making it compatible with widescreen laptop displays, which is probably the norm nowadays. Full details and features of this projector can be found over at Hitachi’s site.

Acer H7530D Projector Review

Acer H7530D Projector Review

Trusted Reviews is one of the leading review sites for the UK. Recently, the writers got the opportunity to take a look at the Acer H7530D projector. This model features 2000 ANSI lumens, a 40000:1 contrast ratio, and full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. This projector is designed for home theaters but the writers feel that this projector might be too fun for serious cinephiles. The connection panel comes with a fair share of connections, including HDMI, RGB, composite, s-video, component, and even stereo ports. However, the writers think that the built-in speakers are not that great and users should look at external speakers instead. One feature that the writers really liked was the onscreen menu. Not only was it helpful and easy to use, but it also provided a lot of image adjustment features, which is something you don’t normally find in budget projectors. The image quality was ok, but definitely not the best that the writers have seen. They noted that the black levels were a lot deeper than other similar projectors. The worst problem that the writers found was the rainbow effect. This is a typical problem for DLP projectors and it is especially bad in the H7530D. The final verdict they made was, ‘In many ways Acer’s H7530D is a pleasant surprise, proving again that the DLP chipsets now available to even £1,000 projectors are of a standard that would have been unimaginable as little as a year ago. It certainly still warrants at least an audition against its arch rivals.’

3D, Gaming, Pico Projectors Rocked CES

One of the bright spots of CES 2010 was the projector scene. Home theater, gaming, and and 3D projectors were abundant. So were pico projectors, which are getting brighter, higher resolution, and adding innovative flourishes.

Although the televisions being shown at CES generated most of the 3D buzz, we were pleased to also see the introduction of several 3D-ready projectors, for both home-theater and educational use. The ViewSonic PJD6531w is a 3,000-lumen DLP projector capable of either 2D or 3D operation. It's designed for tabletop use, but can also be mounted on a ceiling for use in a classroom or meeting room. Along with the pico projectors mentioned below, Optoma announced the first two models in its GameTime projector line. Both the GT360 and GT720 are 3D-ready and optimized for use with gaming platforms, the GT360 for the Nintendo Wii and the GT720 for the Wii, Microsoft Xbox, and Sony PlayStation. Optoma plans to launch half a dozen additional 3D-ready projectors in the first six months of 2010.

There are no details on pricing or availability as yet, but I suspect this may end up being quite a pricey projector.

Favi RIOLED-Q and RIOLED-V pico projectors launched: the future is bright, wireless

Favi RIOLED-Q and RIOLED-V pico projectors launched: the future is bright, wireless

Looks like the world's still got appetite for some more pico projectors, as Favi's releasing a pair some time between late February and early March for prices yet unknown. First is the RIOLED-Q (pictured) which sports a pretty 800 x 600 native resolution at 50 lumens -- supposedly the best brightness in class (like the Optoma PK301), along with built-in SD / MMC card reader, battery, three-watt stereo speaker and an ever-so-handy digital keystone correction. Joining the party is the smaller RIOLED-V which is shy about its display specification, but proudly packs a card reader and WiFi to cater its various web apps for YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, Yahoo News, Weather, Email, Internet Radio and web browser. Too bad it doesn't do phone calls.

InFocus updates IN2100 and IN3100 series projectors, boosts brightness, burns retinas

InFocus updates IN2100 and IN3100 series projectors, boosts brightness, burns retinas

'With the adoption of flat panels in schools and businesses, expectations for what's 'bright enough' have changed.' That's the lead-off on the explanation for the new IN2100 and IN3100 series DLP projectors from InFocus, reasoning that we can definitely get behind. Both lines were initially announced back in 2008 and the 2100 line is now getting some subtle tweaks, longer-lasting bulbs, 'dramatically increased' brightness, and more inputs for better institutional performance. The 3100 adds HDMI to the existing outputs, wireless connectivity using Wireless DisplayLink, and PC-free presenting from a USB stick via LitePort. Lower-end models in both series are available now, with the top-shelf entrants dropping later this quarter. IN2100 models start at $599 and IN3100 models begin at a rather spendier $1,499, but hey, it's a business expense, right? Go crazy.

Microvision Displays SHOW WX Projector at CES 2010

Microvision Displays SHOW WX Projector at CES 2010

Microvision is a developer of light-scanning technologies for display and imaging products. Today, the company announced that they will be on display this weekend at the CES in Las Vegas. The main product that they will be displaying is their SHOW WX pico projector, which features 10 ANSI lumens, a 5000:1 contrast ratio, and WVGA (848 x 480) resolution. The main feature however is that this projector is the first model to use lasers to project the image. The device has three lasers (red, green, and blue). By combining these three colors, the projector is capable of creating a wide array of colors. The benefits of having a laser projector are that it never needs focusing and it is considerably smaller than a typical LED system. ‘Interest and demand for this product is very strong and we’re excited to have the SHOWWX as our center piece at CES,’ stated Ian Brown, Microvision Vice President of Sales and Marketing. ‘We have created a unique and engaging presentation for attendees which is sure to drive awareness of the product’s key features and benefits. We look forward to introducing the product in additional customer channels during 2010, with a planned Microvision direct campaign in the U.S. targeted for March.’

Pico projectors are expected to be one of the many hot topics at CES this year. One of the new companies that are displaying this week is Artec and their product is the PH00-1 pico projector. This device features 10 ANSI lumens, a 200:1 contrast ratio, and VGA (640 x 480) resolution. The projector does come with a diverse connection panel, including VGA, composite, and even a USB connection for a more direct connection. The USB port is also how the projector recharges the internal battery. The down side to this model is that it doesn’t come with an internal memory and no SD slot, which means you need either a laptop or some other device with the PH00-1. Artec is currently showing the projector at CES but no information about a retail price or release date has been announced.

InFocus Unveils IN2100 and IN3100 Projector Series

InFocus Unveils IN2100 and IN3100 Projector Series

InFocus is the industry pioneer in digital projection technology. Today, the company announced five new projectors for their IN2100 and IN3100 series. Both series are designed for boardrooms and classrooms and can also make excellent portable devices. ‘With the adoption of flat panels in schools and businesses, expectations for what’s ‘bright enough’ have changed,’ said Robert Detwiler, product manager, InFocus. ‘For the IN2100 and IN3100 series, we have dramatically increased brightness and coupled it with the performance characteristics of some of our best-selling projectors for brilliant, large-scale projection at affordable price points.’

The new additions to the IN2100 series include the IN2112, IN2114, and IN2116. All of these models feature the same 3000 ANSI lumens and 2100:1 contrast ratio. The major difference between these three is that they come with SVGA (800 x 600), XGA (1024 x 768), and WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution, respectively. These models also share the same connection panel, which includes dual RGB ports, an s-video, composite, and a few audio ports. All three even come with a USB port for easy network capabilities. The IN2112 and IN2114 are already available, but the IN2116 will be released later in this quarter.

The IN3100 series only has two new models, the IN3114 and the IN3116. Both projectors share a 2100:1 contrast ratio and 3500 ANSI lumens. The IN3114 has a native XGA (1024 x 768) resolution, while the IN3116 has a WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution. The connection panel is almost the same as the IN2100 series, but the IN3100 models also include a HDMI port. The IN3114 is available now and the IN3116 will be released soon.

HP Announces New Companion Projector Coming Soon

HP Announces New Companion Projector Coming Soon

HP has been out of the projector market for a while now, but today at CES they announced that they will be releasing their first pico projector soon. What has been come to be known as the Companion, this projector is almost too powerful to be a pico projector. The Companion displays SVGA (858 x 600) resolution, an 800:1 contrast ratio, and an impressive 100 ANSI lumens. The reason why only 100 lumens are amazing is because this device is not much bigger than a pack of playing cards. The only connection is a VGA port that users can use to display presentations on to a screen instantly. Unfortunately, the major downside with this projector is that it requires a second device in order to display images, which gives creditability to its name. HP plans to release the Companion on January 15th right after CES. It will be priced at $499.

Boasting a mercury-free laser & LED hybrid light source, the XJ-A55 is capable of high-brightness projection, offering 3,000 ANSI lumens of brightness at 1,280 x 800 resolution. As for its chassis, it is no larger than the standard 8.5' x 11' paper at a mere 1.7' slim, boasting around 20,000 hours of lamp life without requiring any cool down period whenever you turn off the projector. Apart from that, you also get to enjoy USB host function for projection sans PC and the ability to communicate wirelessly with computers.
