Don't write off LCD projection technology just yet. DLP may dominatethe higher strata of the market (ie the expensive end), but Hitachiably demonstrates that there's plenty of life left in HD-ready LCD projectors
There is a third high definition projection route: Sony's SXRD technology, or the catchily titled Silicon X-Tal Reflective Display, to use its proper name. This is Sony's latest model to feature this alternative to DLP
High definition cries out for some seriously large pictures, and DLP projectors give you that luxury - and then some. And Sim2's latest HD-ready beauty builds on all the strengths of its esteemed predecessors and slashes the price
Big-screen TVs are all very well, but if you want the true cinematic experience you should plump for a home cinema projector like this one from Optoma.
Currently sitting pretty among our top three favourite projectors is the InFocus IN76 - a stunning DLP performer that rewrites the rule book for what you can expect from a projector costing around £1,500
After taking one or two hard knocks recently with the arrival of some seriously good and very attractively priced DLP HD Ready projectors, LCD is once again fighting back. And we've got the latest HD-Ready Hitachi, the PJ-TX300 - yours for just £1,300
Move the sofa aside because Toshiba's 52-inch DLP monster is the ultimate big screen budget TV. Winning the sheer acreage award for TVs for under the two grand mark, Toshiba's first DLP rear-projection TV is simply behemothic.
With Sky HD showing all its HD stuff in 1080i and both HD DVD and Blu-ray discs delivering their first movies in 1080i/p, serious AV enthusiasts are being drawn ever more towards display devices with native pixel counts of 1920 x 1080
Although the Toshiba TDP-FF1 uses conventional DLP technology, the light source is unusual as the lamp is LED. From one point of view, this is a good thing as LEDs have a long life of more than 10,000 hours...
Panasonic has a range of Micro Portable LCD projectors that weigh upwards of 1.9kg, but the Panasonic PT-P1SDEA is classified as a home cinema projector, presumably because it doesn't support wireless communication.
The Optoma EP7150 is essentially an upgrade of the EP729 - being the ultraportable model in the company's range. While its weight is now slightly heavier, the 1.2kg chassis is still ultraportable and compact.
It's like buses. You wait and wait for one to turn up, and suddenly three arrive together. Projection-design was supposed to have been first with a 1080p projector, but there were problems with the development of the enabling technology
Thanks to their irresistible combination of awesome home cinema performance and sumptuous aesthetics, pretty much every projector from Italian company Sim2 has been highly lauded in these pages.
SIM2 has impressed us over the years with its high performance projectors, but perhaps they're not quite as competitive on price as they might be. Cue the Domino D35: a snip - given its specification - at £3,000.
The AN110B redesigns the usual DLP optical architecture to form a 'flat' projector that can be hung on the wall like an LCD TV. You can permanently and tidily fix the projector at the back of your room...
The BenQ CP120c is a smart DLP projector that looks even smaller than it really is, because BenQ packages the projector and the cables in separate cases. It took moments to set up, as the auto keystone function works well ...
The SP-H710AE may be Samsung's first DLP front projector, but it's certainly no shrinking violet.
We thought we'd seen the last projectors with a sub 500:1 contrast ratio, but incredibly we're testing one from Sony, the self-styled king of home entertainment. Based on long standing polysilicon LCD technology, this SVGA budget projector...
Widescreen laptops have changed the mobile landscape so much it's expected within the next 12 months you won't be able to buy a laptop with a 4:3 aspect ratio screen
There's more to the Xscreen Monaco 80 than meets the eye. Once you've finished admiring its robust, high-gloss frame, you'll discover the screen's not made of your usual flexible fabric. It's rock hard, made from a 4mm layer of hardened glass!
Samsung is joining the projector party with a new model that offers a mixture of connectivity, features and sheer size.The SP-H710AE is not for the faint-hearted.
Following the mighty IN76, InFocus now sets its sights on the budget market. But that means goodbye HD Ready badge at this low price.The IN72 looks identical to the stylish IN76, down to the innovative ball-jointed foot stand...
Ultraportable data projectors are becoming increasingly common, largely due to the use of DLP (Digital Light Processing) chips from Texas Instruments with the Viewsonic PJ256D being the latest addition
High-definition is upon us. While the TV industry has managed to get its act together and offer displays, the projector world still flounders to match this productivity at the budget end, where units don't cost much more than large CRT displays.
The Optoma EP716R is essentially an upgrade of the machine firstoffered last year. With an increased brightness of 2200 ANSI lumens, this is an incredibly bright projector, especially considering the price
