If the projector is at an awkward angle, the projectors lens can be tilted around corners practically. A slider on top of the MegaPlex lets you bend light and make you feel like a Vegas magician.
Pros:
  • The 3LCD display is refreshingly crisp and as bright as a dying sun
  • Built-in pair of 10-watt speakers provided audio that was both loud and of good quality
  • When playing videos the projector can handle both bright and dark scenes well, and colours were rich without being oversaturated
Cons:
  • It's not full-HD and not 1080p

Epson MG-850HD review

Epson's latest entry-level LCD projector has an integrated iPhone and iPad dock, so is intended to live on a coffee table or bookshelf rather than be screwed to the ceiling. The pop-out docking tray will support any iPod, iPhone or iPad, letting you play photo slideshows, music and videos from...

Fantastic projector

I've lived with this projector now for around 8 months. It's, overall, a fantastic piece of kit; of course it's my first projector so I do not have any basis for comparison. It took me 3 months to finally choose this particular model.

Review: Epson MegaPlex MG-850HD LCD Projector

There's a coffee cup on the remote, an icon unmistakably a cup and saucer. Maybe it's tea. It's the largest button. It's backlit. It might be taunting me.So begins my time with the Epson MegaPlex MG-850HD Projector, a plucky little PJ that makes me question the logic of every flat panel in...

When it comes to giving presentations, teaching classes, or even watching videos or photos in a group environment, there's still nothing to replace the traditional PC projector. Sure, there are little pico-projectors out now, but they lack the sheer power and features of the magic black box that can...

Epson MG-850HD review

It's a nice idea. With no cables or peripherals needed, it's now even easier to bore friends with iPhone holiday snaps or shaky-cam vids of the kids dancing. Simply pop your iWhatever on the dock and away you go.
Pros:
  • Bright, colourful pictures
  • convenient iPod playback
  • easy to set up and use
Cons:
  • Blacks could be deeper
  • HD only 720p
  • speakers too tinny for music
  • a bit noisy
