Powerful light output., Superb 24p reproduction., Excellent colours in the bright lamp mode., Simple operation., Sharp zoom optics, right up to the edge of the picture.

Weaknesses in the de-interlacing., Colour errors in eco mode require a firmware update.

This Samsung has nothing to fear from similarly priced competitors — the colour purity, sharpness, and brightness are all the best that money can buy. Weaknesses in its de-interlacing and faulty non-primary colours in eco mode slightly water down the...

Good out of the Box picture quality, Very good color accuracy post calibration in best mode (Movie 1), Well balanced, good overall picture quality (although gamma is off a bit), A very bright entry-level projector in its “best” mode, just above average...

The remote control's lack of a backlight ; Dark shadow detail, while good, isn't up to a few other projectors priced similarly ; Limited placement flexibility, and no lens shift ; Black level performance is definitely entry level ; Slight light leak...

Colour realism ; black depth ; good spec ; quiet ; decent value

Fiddly to install ; some picture noise ; motion could be better

A quality offering at a sensible price – pleasant to live with, easy to admire

Deep blacks ; Great colour ; Styling

No frame insertion ; Some judder

As a mid-priced Blu-ray beamer, there's few better, though its lack of practical flexibility could hold it back

Detail, colour, deep black, styling

Some judder, high price

For all its cinematic goodness, nice styling and ease of use, Samsung's SP-A600B is stuck somewhere between the real bargain Full HD projectors and the high-end. As such it's a step-up model for those who are after something more solid and dependable,...

The A600 needs a dark room and it doesn't have lens shift. However, the rainbow effect isn't very pronounced, it's quiet and image quality is excellent.
