A matter of image: 11 projectors tested

EPSON EMP-720

The Epson EMP-750 is a nice compact LCD projector that offers 1500 ANSI lumens at a contrast ratio of 400:1. It is the lightest of all the LCD projectors we reviewed. Connectors include VGA, S-video, composite video, PC audio and a USB connector which can be used to connect the projector to a computer. (Most of the other projectors use serial ports to connect to a PC.) All the standard connectors are located on the back of the unit, as is the remote control holder. The remote control itself is very small and doesn't have a laser pointer.

How we tested
Sample Scenario
About RMIT Test Labs

A replacement lamp will cost you $704, which is reasonably inexpensive, but it only has a rated life of 1500 hours.

The Epson offered excellent contrast and brightness. Its only downfall was it wasn't as sharp as the Sony.

  • Angus Kidman I'm a celebrity, don't back me up
    Celebrity comes with its perks — free alcohol, better-looking partners, lots of holiday time — and disadvantages — constant media intrusions, being forced to appear in films with Eddie Murphy for the long-term good of your career, and having to do mindless radio interviews with angry men who've been awake since 4am.

    Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.

    Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all — and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
