There is no doubting the provenance of this model, which proclaims 'data projector' in large type on the cover of the instruction manual. Indeed, the Toshiba is available in an alternative version, the TDP-SC25...

It was at the tail end of 2003 when Home Cinema Choice evaluated the first commercial projector to use JVC's D-ILA (Direct Drive Image Light Amplifier) technology. A souped up version of LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon) technology...

In the game of projector specification trumps, Optoma's DLP-based H78 is an ace card. A whopping 3,800:1 contrast ratio, a near silent 23dB operation noise and full HD-readiness go a long way to explain the sky-high price tag

If you're not already considering a DLP for your next big-screen purchase, you should be. HCC has auditioned a number of models recently which have seriously impressed with both their picture quality and value.

Rear-projection TVs are back in a big way. The promise of high definition and rear-pro's, especially DLP's, innate suitability for it at bargain bigscreen prices has caused AV fans to re-embrace the idea

After striking gold with its first two DLP TVs - and pinching a big chunk of the UK DLP market in the process - Sagem's now out to show how far its ambitions stretch with its biggest screen yet: the 56in HD-D56B.

When the new LG RE-44SZ21RD DLP rear pro TV turned up for review, I concluded that the accompanying documentation must surely be for a different product entirely

As the only truly 'HD Ready' projector in this group test, Toshiba's new MT700 gets a healthy head start over its rivals. But can it hold on to its lead to the finish?DescriptionIn spite of its essentially fat and plain rectangular shape, the MT700...

Sagem has proved it can do very nicely with a projector inside a rearprojection TV. But can it translate this to the front projection world?DescriptionThe 2000-X is the blandest projector in this group. Its shape bears all the ...

The original ThemeScene H30 was a real budget superstar - and now it's back, revamped and reinvigorated, and bearing an extra 'A' (for Advanced!) on its chest to prove it.

Traditional PC brand turned home cinema gatecrasher NEC scored a major home run not long ago with its well received HT1100. So hopes are high for the more affordable HT510...

HCC reviewed - and was very impressed by - the InFocus Screenplay 5700, back in spring 2004. But after a couple of recent price cuts, it's now pitched against a whole new army of cheaper competitors that can surely only enhance its appeal.

Can Hewlett Packard become the latest in a growing line of traditional PC brands to conquer the home cinema projection world?DescriptionLove it or loathe it, you certainly can't accuse the ep7112 of looking bland.

Rear projection technology is enjoying something of a renaissance. Once a cheap, rather unimpressive big screen alternative to the likes of plasma and LCD, it has now blossomed into a genuine option for those seeking the best quality pictures

LCD projectors just keep getting smaller, lighter and cheaper, but can they cut it for true home cinema appeal? Panasonic's new baby has a damn good try. Panasonic's entry-level projector offers a video image up to 300in

HP's Instant Cinema ep9012 is a beast. It looks like a giant turtle with an Apple-esque makeover and weighs so much you wouldn't risk putting it on the ceiling even if you could

Projectors meeting the stringent new industry 'HD Ready' criteria are few and far between this side of £3,000. Many manage some of the four key requirements: an HDCP-enabled HDMI/DVI jack...

Other than maybe InFocus with its Screenplay range, it's difficult to think of any affordable projector brand that's managed to stay quite so consistent as Optoma and its ThemeScene marque.

The Marantz VP-12 was one of the first highly specified DLP projectors. The original version used the HD2 DMD, capable of 720 x 1280 pixel resolution, and sat at the high-end of its class almost from the outset.

Although far more established in the business world than it is in the living room, ViewSonic isn't afraid to have a crack at the home cinema world from time to time. In fact, it scored a major hit recently with its latest 30in LCD TV, the N3000w.

Okay, here's the deal. Take a sheet of A4 paper, lop a couple of inches off the short side et voilà, the MDP-1600's footprint. Oh, and on the subject of numbers, here's another: £800 - the price in pounds
