TrustedReviews.com is back with another projector review. This time they got the chance to test the Sim2 Domino D10. This model is one of the smaller projectors that Sim2 has to offer. For $2185 you get a WXGA (1280 x 768) resolution, 2000:1 contrast ratio and the slightly old DarkChip2 DLP technology. TrustedReviews.com thought that this projector was behind the times with its DarkChip2 technology. All of its competitors have the new DarkChip3 set and present a better picture and better quality. However after testing it out they determined that the Domino D10 was “the best DarkChip2 projector so far.”
