Yamaha has never been among the most prolific of projector producers, nor are its products the most keenly priced, but it does have another quality that many other brands aspire to and rarely possess, and it's all summed up in that single word: watchability.
Skimming over the spec sheet for the Yamaha DPX-1300, you may get the impression that this DLP projector isn't anything special, but a quick look can be deceptive. Ok, so the native resolution is just 1280 x 720
In recent times, LCD home-cinema projectors have lagged behind those of the DLP variety. OK - both have their disadvantages; the 'rainbow effect' introduced by the colour wheel in the case of DLP, and the 'chicken wire'...
Yamaha is a familiar name in home cinema circles thanks to its trail-blazing AV amplifiers and receivers, but it's rapidly gaining a reputation in another field - video projection.
Yamaha does not currently list a wide range of projectors, but although the range is small, it's undeniably select. The LPX-510 covers most of the usual bases in terms of connections. There is no computer D-Sub, but you do get HDMI with HDCP encryption
