Our Say
At first glance this release from Toshiba appears very similar to the BenQ MP610 but upon further inspection you may be surprised at the small but various benefits.
First of all, the projector itself is surprisingly small in comparison to the BenQ and even the Acer options. It takes up much less room than an A4 piece of paper but still manages to pump out 2000 ANSI Lumens, enough for presentations even in a well lit room. Comparative to the small size, the weight of the unit is only 2kg and, with the included carry case, is much easier to carry than most notebook computers.

Another benefit that many people overlook is the very long warranty period. Toshiba have guaranteed the product for a outstanding 3 years. As you may see while browsing this website, virtually all projectors from other brands come with a 2 year standard warranty. You are essentially getting an extra year without having to pay $250 for an extended warranty.

As image quality is concerned, you can expect the same high quality as you would from any Toshiba product. The contrast is very good and the colours are plentiful and accurate. Due to the high contrast ratio and brightness you will have no worries using the unit for both your presentations or at home for movies, sport or even playing some games through the Xbox360.

functions to be controlled as conveniently as with the TV.
