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

Epson MegaPlex MG-850HD Projector
Although you can use a projector plus an adapter to display video or photos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, the Epson MegaPlex MG-850HD Projector ($799 direct) does it one better.
Pros:
- Very good data and video image quality
- Docks with and projects from your Apple mobile device
Cons:
- A little too heavy to be easily portable
- Could use a VGA connector to use with computers that lack an HDMI port

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

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
