| Personal Experience |
| Pros: VERY quiet operation. Cools down quickly. The machine is VERY lightweight, and seems as well built as any in this price range. The company didn't skimp on the included cords, and a component-to-VGA adapter. Each cord even comes with a little velcro strap to keep them tidy. |
| Problems |
| Cons: RAINBOWS GALORE! If you are sensitive to them, don't buy this one- I suspect that it has a slow color wheel. (Newer, faster DLPs supposedly don't suffer from the rainbows.) On this machine, black-and-white movies and anything with subtitles are unwatchable. The focus is rather soft and clunky, and, of course, the resolution is low. The "Hide" feature blacks out the screen promptly, but when pressed again, shows the start-up screen for four seconds while the projector acquires the signal again (even with "Signal Lock" on). I would rather it showed black until it was ready to continue, though I suppose you could upload your own all-black start-up screen (a nice feature with this model). |
