Product Rating: 2.5 star(s) Sharp Notevision XR-1S

Comments:
Too noisy and basic to seriously compete, even at this price.

Review Verdict: Oddly, the XR-1S isn't as bright as the XR-1X, losing 100 lumens from the other version's 1300. And Sharp hasn't solved the noise problem. In eco mode, the XR-1S was the noisiest here at 47dBA, and this increased to 49dBA in standard mode �€" ...

Use Eco-mode to reduce noise levels

Review Verdict: The small remote has a USB mouse pad and we found the interface was simple to navigate. While we could tell that Presentation mode is the brightest and most usable of the options, we were unable to see any significant difference between Normal, Movie and

Product Rating: 3.5 star(s) Sharp Notevision XR-1S

Comments:
Engine Type: DLP, Type: Business

Review Verdict: The Notevision XR-1S from Sharp is a tiny projector that makes big, bright images. It has some limitations and relatively minor display-quality flaws, but it costs only a few hundred dollars more than similar projectors that weigh twice as much.
