• Surprising amount of light spill
• Rather loud

Value: 92

• Backlit remote with lots of useful buttons
• Menus a little annoying to navigate

Overall Rating: 91
The DLA-HD1 performs like it's a lot higher in price, and it has one of the best contrast ratios we've ever seen. It may not be the most accurate, but it is exceedingly—and addictively—watchable.
