ViewSonic PJ258D (3.5 mice)

by James Galbraith

Comments:
The ViewSonic PJ258D is a good all-around projector. Its size, weight, and feature set make it easy to move from the office to your living room and back. Unfortunately, it lacks some of the key features necessary to make it a star performer in either sett

Review Verdict: With a footprint similar to that of a sheet of letter-sized paper, this shiny black compact projector weighs just 3.9 pounds and was a breeze to set up. Just plug in the power cable and the signal source of your choosing. The PJ258D ships with a VGA port

ViewSonic PJ258D ViewDock Projector

by Marshal M. Rosenthal

Comments:
Life may be full of compromises, but having to watch video on an iPod's small screen shouldn't be one of them. Not when you can easily haul this 4-pound Viewsonic front projector wherever you want and have its built-in iPod video dock spit out big video a

Review Verdict: Hooking up a DVD player to the S-video input, I played the same opening from the DVD. It was like getting a new prescription for your glasses: the image being noticeably sharper, colors crisper, and better shading and tighter detail (I could read even the

by Online Shopper

Comments:
While Viewsonic's earlier 'made for iPod' LCD monitor failed to live up to its claims, there's no need to doubt the company's latest iPod-accessorised projector. Popping it into the provided zip case, you can carry it around in a shoulder bag

Review Verdict: Offers simple integration with an iPod, but little else for your £850
