Epson MG-850HD iPad projector at IFA – first look
Epson's MG-850HD iPad projector isn't quite the ‘world's first' the company might have us believe – Viewsonic sold a similar product a few years ago – but this projector plus iPhone/iPad dock, spied close-up on the eve of Berlin's IFA exhibition, is a tempting proposition for those looking for the

Review: Epson MegaPlex MG-850HD
Armed with one of Apple's video-out adapters , you can connect your iDevice to any projector and cobble together a poor-man's home theater. Or you can connect your iDevice to Epson's MegaPlex MG-850HD and enjoy an awesome-man's home theater.
Pros:
- Docks Apple devices and plays all the media within
- Movies sound great and look even better
- Simple controls on both the projector and its onscreen menus
- Clever "coffee break" button pauses the video but turns the image white so you can find your way in the dark.
Cons:
- iPad use requires a clunky plastic bracket
- Remote doesn't work with apps like Netflix, and only some of its buttons are backlit
- Some of the best third-party video apps aren't compatible

Definitely Exceeded Expectations
My most happy investment yet! (paid 799 and insurance) You'd probably want to buy some sort of dvd or home theater receiver, because you're going to want hook up most nearly everything to this little thing (it only has inputs and 1 HDMI input#.
Pros:
- Numerous adjustable features
- ease of use
- low maintenance
- value
- size/weight
- lamp life
- crisp image
Cons:
- inputs/outputs

Epson MG-850HD
A decent entry-level LCD projector with some clever features, but if you don’t need the dock you can find 1080p at this price
