Review : ViewSonic PLED-W800 Projector

Almost exactly 3 years ago one of the most exciting pieces of kit I had seen for some time crossed my desk. It was the &lt;b&gt;ViewSonic&lt;/b&gt; PLED%C2%96W500, a tiny but surprisingly bright &lt;b&gt;projector&lt;/b&gt; that used cool-running LEDs for illumination instead of a hot lamp. Designed primarily for business presentations, its XVGA resolution and extended color gamut made it perfectly suitable for movies. Unfortunately, it soon disappeared from the market. But the good news is that it's back again, reborn as the &lt;b&gt;PLED-W800&lt;/b&gt;. And it's better and brighter than ever.

Compact & Portable - take your big-screen with you: Viewsonic PLED projector review » EFTM

There’s always been something appealing to me about the concept of having a projector – this small device can give you a huge screen as long as you have the space on the wall.  The idea of taking it with you for meetings or family trips – that seems a bridge too far.  Not so with […]
