Canon Xeed SX80 Projector

Moving on to watching real movies and playing games, we used I Am Legend and Pan's Labyrinth Blu-ray, while i played Prince of Persia on the PC. The images were very vibrant and colors were quite realistic. I liked the neutral, straight forward approach of the images and overall detail was also impressive. In fact there was a level of sharpness in the images, which surpassed most of the recent projectors. One point needs to be made - there was an ever so slight linear distortion in the images. This was not apparent in the movies, but rather in text, and our test images. Some vertical lines - 1/3rd from the right edge - appeared slightly thicker than others.

Conclusion
At Rs. 2,20,000, this projector is in no way cheap, though LCOS technology is expensive. Is it better than an LCD projector? Sure, there's no doubt about that. The colors are fine enough, and the light output is very good. Watching a film or viewing highly detailed illustrations is a treat on this projector, and the best part about it is the detail. Absolute black levels are short of amazing, so it's not like it's perfect, but the SX80 does really make a great choice for someone who can afford the hefty tag.
