Conclusion
|
The SP-A600B is a stylish projector that's easy to use: it doesn't take many adjustments at all to produce a very decent image quality. It misses out on our top score because more advanced LCD projectors offer more options. Note that it produces the rainbow effect. |
In a dark room, the PK301 does pretty well whatever the video content. In a lighter room, you have to reduce projection area to make the images stand out, especially for darker scenes. On the whole though, video quality is OK. We would, however, have liked to be able to adjust more settings to correct the gamma (among other things) and reduce the overexposure seen in lighter images.amma and reduce the burnt effect on lighter images. |
