Compact projectors put to the test as cinemas

Wired  

How we tested Small projectors are finding places in homes as well as offices, so each model on test was fed a combination of PC PowerPoint presentations and Blu-ray films to gauge versatility. Wired tried each projector's picture preset options and positioned the models to deliver a 60-inch image size against a zero-gain screen, to make it easy to spot brightness differences. WIRED Compact; bright for its size TIRED Poor contrast; weedy sound; messy light handling £465 Optoma ML1000 The biggest and most expensive projector here, the ML1000 boasts a laptop-style touchpad control on its top edge. WIRED PC-free use; very bright images TIRED Expensive; large; video can't produce dark blacks £675 Acer K137 This projector's USP is a powerful speaker system that is capable of pushing out a 360-degree soundstage -- ideal for sports and movie nights. WIRED Bold looks; startlingly good audio TIRED Darker movie scenes look grey and unconvincing £460 This article was originally published by WIRED UK
