Samsung SP-A600B review

Gallery

Verdict:

The A600 needs a dark room and it doesn't have lens shift. However, the rainbow effect isn't very pronounced, it's quiet and image quality is excellent.

Good review and well worth the £760+£8 delivery from projectorshop24.co.uk (20/05/2011). Don't bother with dixons, currys or pc world as they are all the same company and don't even sell this projector.
