Toshiba TDP-ET20U Multimedia DVD Projector

 

When Toshiba announced the TDP-ET20U Multimedia DVD Projector ($1,399 direct), it said the unit was aimed at both business and home-theater use. But my impression from looking at its features was that the emphasis was much more on home theater. That...

Native widescreen format with 480p resolution. Includes DVD player and audio system. Short throw

DLP rainbow effect. Does relatively better with standard video than with DVDs. Mediocre audio quality

Despite a built-in DVD player, the Toshiba TDP-ET20U is optimized for standard video—and does a relatively better job with it than with DVDs.

Very cool

Bright - lots of lumens for use in family rooms, etc., without having to fully darken the room ; Very good warranty ; Cool looking unit ; Sits very close to the screen ; Feels like excellent build quality ; Excellent selection of inputs ; Internal DVD...

Lack of color temperature controls, and the projector's preset modes are all too "cool" for ideal movie watching ; Remote control has button crowding, especially the DVD transport controls

Fun product. The kids will love it. This is a bonus room hit, just picture your kids - or you, spending even more time - watching TV, playing video games, watching movies, on a screen or wall that dwarfs the largest plasma displays or big screen TVs
