With the debut date coming soon, Sony has decided to give the VPL-AW15 another projector to join in the Bravia series. The VPL-AW10 is very similar with its 1280 x 720 resolution and the ability to play games and view television with HD quality. They will also be producing 1100 lumens and a 1.6x zoom for a vivid picture. The difference between the two machines lies in the display technology and contrast. The VPL-AW10 will have the Advance Iris; the AW15 will get the newer technology and get the Advance Iris 2 technology. This new LCD technology will give the VPL-AW15 a contrast of 12000:1, which is half of what the AW10 can produce. Both projectors will be moderately priced, starting at $1000.

Texas Instruments has managed to make a projector that is no bigger than a cell phone. As a matter of fact, there is talk of putting it into a phone. With lasers for lamps, this little DLP projector is said to be able to project DVD quality on any screen or wall. TI does not know when they plan to release this projector/phone. This will be great for people on the go who can’t carry a projector with them everywhere. When it is released, it’s hard to tell who would want it more…the business or home market. One thing is sure…this projector will be watched for its time to shine.

The Toshiba TDP-ET20 DLP Projector is a wonderful projector for those who need a big screen in a small space. This little marvel can give you a picture that is over 100 inches diagonally with only 5 feet of distance between the projector and the screen. The TDP-ET20 also makes viewing easy with a built in DVD player and speakers. It also has a wide array of input slots so it can hook up to any video connection you have. The panel that has all the inputs and the sensor for the remote control have been switched so you do not have to stand in front of the projector in order to use the remote. This feature also keeps the cords out of the way. The brightness on this little projector can also allow it to be used in daylight and still deliver a clear 1024 x 768 resolution, almost as good as it would be if it was night. Its only problem is that you would have to move the projector if you needed the screen to change in size. Toshiba must have made this feature part of the design because they were able to keep the TDP-ET20 down to 10.6 pounds. This projector is definitely worth the $1,399.00 price tag and will be able to perform for all your video needs.

IPod has become one of the most popular electronic devices through out the years. It’s no wonder that there have been many devices created to enhance the iPod’s features. Recently ViewSonic has released a new projector for which the iPod to connect. The ViewSonic PJ258D DLP Projector comes with the clarity and brightness to project any iPod movie onto a wall or screen with little to no problem. According to LAPTOP Magazine, the only real issue with this machine is the design of the machine itself. From their lab tests they said that the projector would become too hot to touch after about 30 minutes of use. The fan was also a problem, being to noisy on some of its settings. They had to adjust the projector to its lowest setting in order to get the noise down to a point where it wasn’t a distraction during the movie. The remote control was very well-defined and easy to use, however the controls on the projector were hard to find and difficult to read. They said it best with “Obviously, presenters are meant to use the remote control”. Although this model has some problems, it still has some good points such as its ability to put out well over 2000 lumens. It is also able to deliver a 1024 x 768 resolution that is just as good as any other.
