    • otter-raptor on 17/05/2018 - 11:50

      Just read a quick review, the projector has rainbow artefacts it seems and I think that would cause unsatisfactory results

      • Nom on 17/05/2018 - 11:52
        +1

        All cheaper DLP projectors have rainbow effect - it's a function of the technology.

        In real use, it's not a big deal.

        • eug on 17/05/2018 - 11:57
          +3

          It really just depends on the person viewing it. Not everyone can see the rainbow artifacts. I can and it's annoying, but I think it's one of those things where if you don't think about it, it won't bother you.

        • kapone on 17/05/2018 - 12:52
          +2

          Varies from person to person. Personally I see the rainbow affect every time my eyes shift the smallest amount (such as following action on screen from the left to right of the screen).

        • Trickey on 17/05/2018 - 13:08
          +1

          @kapone: That's actually how you test for the rainbow effect on DLP projectors. The rule of thumb is if you move your head from left to right and can see a rainbow effect then the projector is a single chip DLP. Not sure if 3 chip DLP is still insanely expensive (I have honestly not looked in years) but that's the only way to truly eliminate it. Faster colour wheels help but still don't 100% eliminate it.

      Still pretty standard on projectors as they're often used in offices with outdated equipment. Thankfully has HDMI as well.

    • cruiserdog9 on 17/05/2018 - 11:56

      hdmi and full HD 1080p

    • Nom on 17/05/2018 - 11:57
      +6

      It's got 2 x 1080p HDMI inputs…

      • redfox on 17/05/2018 - 11:59

        Some websites claim it has 3D too?

    • eug on 17/05/2018 - 12:01
      +3

      Seems pretty old to me with VGA, RCA, S-Video connections.

      It was built for the educational market where those connections could still be useful. It does have HDMI and MHL too, as others have stated. Having more inputs than a standard projector is a good thing. You can connect virtually anything to this, from a VCR to a 15 year old laptop to a Bluray player to a SurfaceBook.

    Plus the lamp replacement cost is $250+, not for me.

    • videoman on 17/05/2018 - 12:05

      This projector would probably be almost as cheap as replacing your current projector lamp.

      Tempting. But I have 2 projectors currently… only 720p. But my wife would kill me if I upgrade when we don't use them that often.

      Sell both projectors for $150 each.
      You'll end up with 1 1080p short-throw projector and $5 profit.

      Plus the lamp replacement cost is $250+, not for me.

      How much does it cost to replace the lamps in your 2 projectors?

      • Symbiotic on 17/05/2018 - 21:25

        Or no projectors at all and $300.

      125 days of use though ;)

    • Symbiotic on 17/05/2018 - 21:30

      $250 (or more) for the DLP bulbs is a deal breaker for me. I’ve had >1.5 years solid use out of my Epson TW-5300 projector on the original bulb. New bulbs are $99.
