Projector Reviews

Normally, the dealer handles the installation. This includes both physical positioning of the product and electronically aligning the red, green, and blue CRTs to create one image on the screen. I tested the setup process for myself to see how much knowledge the dealer will need. After all, if a dealer only installs one projector a year and this projector is difficult to set up, the likelihood he or she will be up to the task is minimal. In this case, the only thing the dealer needs to remember is how to save changes to memory, which I'll discuss later. Setting up the projector is incredibly simple. With no previous knowledge of how the projector worked, I was able to create an excellent picture in no time at all. Granted, I install other projectors all the time. However, of all the projectors I've had to set up, this was one of the easiest.

Then again, maybe it was the trouble I had getting the changes to save to memory that forced me to become an expert at setting up this projector. The memory structure is a bit trickier than that of most projectors. The end result, however, gives you 80 different possible settings, which you can access directly from the remote. The pair of RS-232 ports allow the user to control the projector from an AMX- or Crestron-type control system, if desired. Once you figure out how it works, you can assign different color-temperature settings to different aspect ratios, among other things. You could have a different setup for 80 different television channels, if you wanted.

C. The only input option is RGB+Sync.
