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...

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
