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
