Top Projector Models to Use for the Classroom

Finding ‘the best projector’ is always a subjective matter, as a projector that is perfect for home cinema isn’t necessarily great for viewing family photos. So the most important step you can take before deciding which projector is right for you is to know what you primarily want to use it for. Certainly if the projector is going to be used inside a classroom, that changes what the key features and functions will be.     For a start, cost is always more of a factor for projectors that are being bought within the education system, so we will focus […]

VIEWSONIC PJD5555W Projector Review

Sometimes great things come in small packages, and the Viewsonic PJD5555W projector is no exception to that rule. It’s very much aimed at customers who are looking for a really solid projector that doesn’t cost a lot and delivers good quality picture and illumination. If there’s a league table of projectors, the PJD5555W sits comfortably up near the top of the middle of the pack, lacking some of the finesse and features of the more expensive options, but it does come with surprising extras like the ability to project 3D content. That kind of touch makes it a really appealing […]

A Look at the ViewSonic LightStream Line-Up

A year ago, projector manufacturer ViewSonic launched a line of extremely affordable data projectors – the PJD5 series. With prices ranging from $399 to $599, the PJD5 series represented a low-cost option for bright DLP business projectors. Since then, though, the LightStream line-up has expanded. ViewSonic introduced the PJD6 series – which added advanced networking, improved sound and an HDMI port – in Q2 last year, followed by the introduction of the PJD7-HD series in Q3. All LightStream projectors share a few commonalities: They’re priced competitively, with the top-of-line model, the PJD7835 starting at just $1049 MSRP. They’re optimized for […]

ViewSonic PJ258D ViewDock Projector Review

The ViewSonic PJ258D was released in 2007, and at the time, it featured a novel tool that hadn’t been introduced in many projectors: An iPod docking station. Not an iPhone, but a port for an iPod! That’s how dated the projector sounds these days. And that feature was the biggest selling point. The DLP-based projector was just average in other areas. For example, it offered 2,000 lumens, broadcast images in the XGA 1024×768 native resolution, and it originally retailed for $1,399 MSRP. Today, those aren’t very impressive specs, and in 2007, they weren’t that impressive either. Yet, with its iPod […]

Projector Review: ViewSonic PJD7820HD

Released two years ago, the ViewSonic PJD7820HD is a solid performer in the budget data projector class. The projector’s Full HD resolution (1920×1080) delivers crisp, detailed data images. Text, both small and large, is clear, and it’s capable of handling multimedia. Yet, it’s not the most reliable cross-over projector – it’s an excellent data projector, but just OK with home entertainment. Initial reviews of the ViewSonic PJD7820HD revealed that the projector’s video performance was average. Color performance is decent, with some rainbow artifacts present. It can handle video, gaming and 3D content, but it’s not perfect. This is more of […]
