HP XP 8010
HP hasn’t been in the projector market for all that long and only offers a small line of projectors.
The HP XP 8010 is a very large projector however not very powerful. The XP 8010 is rated at 2200 ANSI lumens and has a contrast ratio of 800:1. It has a 250 W P-VIP lamp that’s good for 2000 hours.
The HP was one of the only two DLP-based projectors that were submitted for testing. DLP projectors are predominantly used for home theatre and this was evident in our tests.
Being so large it was able to support a large number of connectors including DVI, an integrated network port, and extra VGA inputs.
The HP didn’t perform too well in our tests. It was the least bright projector even though it was rated higher than the JVC and Sony. Text appeared dull and fuzzy, however, it had good contrast—blacks were dark, while colours appeared warm.

Dear Sir,
Just to clarify the review of the XL30U. Contrast ratio is actually 500:1 and the product has a RRP of $8490.
Could we please have this amended.
