PJ358 Reviews: |
|
|
This LCD projector is available from Viewsonic as the PJ358 and also as the Hitachi CP-X1, although you pay nearly £100 extra for the Hitachi logo. Oh, except that the Hitachi is silver and the Viewsonic is black. Other than that they're identical so what you've got here is effectively two reviews in one.
Although this projector is rated at 36dB in Normal mode and 30dB in Eco mode we found that it was very quiet in regular use and switching to Eco didn't seem to |
make the dramatic difference that the 6dB step would suggest. Judging by the evidence of our ears that 36dB figure is overstated.
The image displayed on the screen was very pleasant with lovely warm colours. You can happily use the Viewsonic either for watching a movie or giving a presentation and the only obvious downside is the lack of a digital connection. |
