Mitsubishi XD50U

The Mitsubishi XD50U is a DLP projector that has a lumens rating of 1500 and a contrast ratio of 1500:1. The lamp has a normal mode as well as a low mode, and it sets the brightness to 80 percent.

At the rear is a DVI connector and PC Card slot. And to get you up and running as soon as possible, a bundled PC Card with a 16MB Compact Flash Card is included so you can do PC-free presentations.

The on-screen menu is very easy to use but then again it doesn't feature too many adjustments. The XD50U finished in the top half in terms of brightness and showed good uniformity across the screen. Picture quality was excellent being very sharp and its contrast wasn't too bad either.

    Interesting and helpful articl ...Anonymous -- 22/12/04

    Interesting and helpful article. I am interested in finding more information on the wireless projectors that use the 802.11b or g. What are folks saying about them. Are they cost effective?

    Dell data projectors kevin bell -- 15/12/05

    I noticed that in your reviews over the last few years, there isn't any reviews of the dell range of data projectors and more recently, the dell 3400mp. Is there a reason for this (?), as I notice that other sites seem to review their products?

    In your article, you have confused weight with mass. This is a common mistake. Mass is the amount of material in an object. A 1 kg book on earth is a 1 kg book on the moon, though its weight (in Newtons) is considerably less. F=MA.

    Thank you so much J. MacMillan, I am setting up a projector system for use on the moon, and on other planets, so your comment about the difference between mass and weight was of great relevence to me.

    Sharp XR-1X Review Error? Anonymous -- 31/05/06

    In the review for the Sharp XR-1X it reads “The Sharp is rated 100 ANSI lumens” - I think there may be a "0" missing there.

    Thankyou Anonymous -- 10/12/07

    I needed to source a new data projector and knowing nothing about them I found this site extremely helpful. What a terrific idea and so very helpful - thankyou.
