  1. Sharp XV-Z201 review

    8 Last reviewed

    Sharp's XV-Z201 appears to have a tough job on its hands. As a DLP model costing £2,700, it's not high-end, yet it has to convince us that it's worth the fairly considerable hike up from the latest ultra-budget blockbusters

    Sharp XV-Z200E/201E review

    8 Last reviewed

    No, we haven't just lumped two projectors into one review to save space. The simple fact is that there's just not enough difference between the Z200E and Z201E to justify treating them separately

    Runco CL-510 review

    9 Last reviewed

    If you have any familiarity with the world of video projection, you're sure to know about Runco. The company became a home theatre legend with its CRT projectors, once the mainstay of big-screen entertainment.

    NEC HT1100 review

    8 Last reviewed

    DLP projectors now range from £1,000 entry level types to ultra high-end £25,000 pro-quality models. At the luxury end the price goes towards three-chip versions for an image quality to rival or even beat cinema projectors

    Mitsubushi HC900E review

    8 Last reviewed

    While it only has one chip and looks functional rather than sumptuous, Mitsubishi's cheaper brother to the company's flagship HC2000 pulls a few pleasant surprises

    Mitsubishi HC900 review

    10 Last reviewed

    If you're going to cost a cool £400 more than your nearest rival, you'd better come to the party packing some heat. And on paper at least, that's exactly what Mitsubishi's HC900E does.Let's look at the evidence

    Mitsubishi HC100 review

    10 Last reviewed

    If you haven't already done so, we suggest that you do a double take at the price above the Mitsubishi HC100 headline. Done it? Good. Then you'll know already what makes the HC100 such an exciting bit of kit

    Marantz VP-12S3 review

    10 Last reviewed

    Given how chaotic the everchanging world of AV is these days, there's something strangely comforting about Marantz's VP-12 projectors. Updated versions trot along every few months, all looking identical, all boasting the very...

    BenQ PE8700 review

    8 Last reviewed

    Surprisingly often, the weight of home cinema kit is directly proportional to how good it is. Essentially, the heavier it is, the better it is. Which bodes well for BenQ's PE8700 - it weighs an absolute ton

    Barco Cineversum review

    10 Last reviewed

    In a market where Johnny-come-latelies are on the increase, Barco is starting to look like the older statesman of the projector world. Should we take this to mean that it's 'past its sell-by date', or a 'timeless symbol of quality'?

    Sim2 Grand Cinema HT300 Evolution review

    10 Last reviewed

    Sim2's latest Grand Cinema model boasts a stylish design and brand new technology. It's the first to use Texas Instruments' DarkChip3 system to improve DLP greyscale quality and boost contrast to 3,800:1

    Philips 28PW6518 review

    10 Last reviewed

    The raison d'être behind Philips' latest TV is to offer 28in pictures from a big-name brand for as little hard cash as possible. A laudable aim, providing not too many corners have been cut to meet the price.

    Sanyo PLV-Z3 review

    9 Last reviewed

    The LCD projection camp owes much to Sanyo's LCD-based PLV-Z range. The PLV-Z1 and its PLV-Z2 successor both appeared just in time to stop us declaring LCD nothing more than DLP's poor relation...

    Sanyo PLV-Z3 review

    9 Last reviewed

    Not for the first time in home cinema projection, DLP has its hammer poised to drive that final nail into LCD's coffin. But Sanyo isn't about to let that hammer come down without the sort of frantic scrap even the titular hero of our The Bourne Identity...

    NEC VT470 review

    5 Last reviewed

    NEC's VT470 harks back to a time when the only way you could get a truly affordable projector was to get a multimedia model designed more with the boardroom in mind than the latest Hollywood blockbuster.

    Epson EMP-TW10 review

    8 Last reviewed

    Epson's LCD-based EMP-TW10 was one of the first sub-£1,000 projectors to tempt UK enthusiasts, but it's beginning to get a little long in the tooth now. So while it originally impressed...

    Toshiba MT200 review

    8 Last reviewed

    Surprising though it may seem, the MT200 isn't Toshiba's first foray under £1,000 with a projector. The TLP-ET1 claimed that distinction nearly a year ago. However, the ET1 used LCD technology...

    Toshiba 46WM48P review

    10 Last reviewed

    Once the exclusive domain of high-end brands like Sim 2 and Loewe, DLP rear-pro sets are now hitting the mainstream, with a range of different brands suddenly launching a glut of them, the latest of which is long-time CRT rear-projection king, Toshiba.

    Sharp XV-Z12000 review

    10 Last reviewed

    Replacing the visually similar XV-Z10000, the XV-Z12000 offers improved performance for £1,000 less and represents Sharp's most focussed attack yet on the high-end projector ramparts. Being a DLP projector...

    Optoma ThemeScene H30A review

    10 Last reviewed

    Few projectors have caused quite such a stir as Optoma's ThemeScene H30. It practically rewrote the rule book on what sort of quality we could expect to find on a budget product.

    Barco Cineversum 110 review

    10 Last reviewed

    There's DLP, and then there's three-chip DLP. Comparing the picture from a three-chip projector to single-chip models is like comparing DVD with normal videotape. A year ago, three-chip models generally cost as much as a house...

    InFocus Screenplay 7205 review

    InFocus Screenplay 7205 review

    8 Last reviewed

    InFocus' recent decision to slice around a third off the price of its hugely acclaimed Screenplay 7205 is one of the most aggressive cuts we've seen in a long time.

    NEC HT410 review

    8 Last reviewed

    Single-chip DLP technology has fallen dramatically in price of late and experienced data projector manufacturers like NEC have picked up the technology and run with it - straight into your living room

    Thomson 50DLY645 review

    8 Last reviewed

    The irresistible rise of DLP technology shows no signs of letting up. We're about to witness a glut of incoming DLP rear-projection TVs and Thomson's 50in 50DLY645 is one of the most 'mainstream' (ie, affordable) of these DLP newcomers

    Sim2 Grand Cinema RTX55 review

    8 Last reviewed

    Now that know-how and technology has been applied to a 55in projection TV, allowing those of us without much viewing space to reap the benefits Sim2's DLPs can offer
