Editor's Notes
- 1. The BT contract for the second phase did not meet Value for Money Criteria or timescale criteria. It also wouldn’t reach the 95% target. This is not because BT were trying to rip off the Programme or anything, it’s due to their solution FTTC isn’t cost effective in the very rural areas. Their other product FTT Remote Node is too new to be deployed on this programme currently. 2. CDS will be going out for procurement again and I expect to see other companies to bid for alternative solutions, like Wireless networks. 3. CDs are about to announce that they are going to contract with a company called ‘Airband’ to deliver a wireless network across Dartmoor and Exmoor. This project (£5m) will be completed by Oct 2016 and they are expecting to reach 82% of premises with 40Mbps and the rest with 12Mbps. Note: Name of contractor and value have not been announced ye

Video projectors are widely used for many applications such as conference room presentations, classroom training, home theatre and concerts. There's no one magic formula, but features and performance are paramount. These are dependent on factors such as data and video image quality, features, portability, and connectivity choices. We test data image quality using the DisplayMate test suite, which allows us to examine uniformity of brightness across the image and the presence of artifacts or tinting; sharpness and focus; the ability to distinguish between very dark shades of gray, and, conversely, very light shades; color accuracy, and other issues. To test video, we play selected clips from two DVDs with an eye to how the projector handles very dark and very light scenes, and issues such as tinting, posterization (abrupt shifts of color where they should be gradual), and the rainbow effect that's common in DLP projectors. Many projectors do a passable job in data and/or video testing; most of the projectors featured here do a standup job in one if not both. Clearly, data image quality is more important for a business projector, while video quality is more so for a home entertainment projector. Key features will depend on a projector's intended use. A good audio system is useful for home entertainment models, while some business and educational projectors offer interactive features, and can substitute for interactive whiteboards. Models ranging from gaming projectors to home-theater and educational projectors are incorporating 3D capabilities. Although some pocket projectors are limited to connecting to a computer via USB alone, most projectors offer at least a VGA port to connect to a computer plus at least one video connection (generally, composite video). HDMI ports have become commonplace, even among relatively low-resolution models, and many HDMI ports are Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL)-enabled, letting you project from Android devices (and in some cases, charge them). A few models incorporate docks for connecting to an iPhone or other mobile device, while others offer Wi-Fi connectivity. Although it's good to have multiple connection choices, it's more important to have the right ones for your purposes. The projectors featured here are among the best recent models we've reviewed, along with a few old favorites. They span a wide range of features, portability, and brightness.

- Don’t get it to high or colours will look poor, less then 1500 is really needed for good colour reproduction. Finding the right commercial projector is easier than you might imagine. There are hundreds of projectors currently on the market, all you need to do is answer four simple questions: What type of projector do you need? LCD, DLP OR CRT What Resolution do I need? The Lumens output (brightness) of lamp – 800-1000 is good for LCD, DLP at 1000 is good. The Resolution. For optimal picture make sure to get XGA, WXGA or SVGA. parish council business, such as crime prevention talks, neighbourhood planning meetings and flooding assessments. The tool could be further enhanced by incorporating photographs of site inspections, Google Earth views, local plan images and even video footage. Do Weight & Portability matter? How much should I Budget? These issues will help you eliminate products from the list that lack the features you need. Some of these features may be critically important to you, so take a moment to check through it carefully.
- The technology used in projectors can generally be broken down into two types: transmissive or reflective. Because LCD projectors pass light through the LCD panels rather than bouncing it away, they are considered a transmissive medium. A DLP projector uses mirrors to direct the light in an image, so it is considered to be "reflective." The two main contenders are Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) projectors and Digital Light Processing (DLP) projectors. These terms refer to the mechanism the projector uses internally to compose images. It can be a hard decision as both projection technologies have strengths and weaknesses LCD projectors have historically had three main advantages over DLP projectors. More accurate colours: DLP projectors often have a clear section in their colour wheel which boosts brightness but reduces colour saturation. LCD projectors do not have a colour wheel. Sharper image LCD projectors have a slightly sharper image than DLP projectors at equal resolutions. This can actually be a drawback which we will come to below. More light-efficient. This means that the same wattage lamp in an LCD and DLP would produce a brighter image in the LCD
- works differently to LCD projection. Most DLP projectors have a single chip instead of glass panels through which light is passed, and this chip has a reflective surface composed of thousands of tiny mirrors which correspond to individual pixels. These mirrors can move back and forth when light is beamed onto the chip to direct the light from individual pixels either towards the projector lens or away from it. In order to define colours, DLP projectors have a colour wheel that consists of red, green and blue filters. This wheel spins between the light source and the DLP chip and alternates the colour of the light hitting the chip between red, green and blue. The mirrors tilt away from or into the lens path depending on how much of each color is required for each pixel at any given moment. Portability: DLP projectors tend to be smaller and easier to transport since they have one chip compared to the LCD’s 3 panels. Higher Contrast. The deep blacks achievable with DLP projectors make them very popular for home cinema applications. Reduced Pixilation. This is especially noticeable in comparisons of lower-end LCD and DLPs, and makes DLP a popular choice for smooth video applications. Reliability DLPs tend to fail less often due to fewer parts and are less expensive to repair. DLP projectors have sealed optics, making them ideal for use in dusty environments.

- One of the key factors is choosing the right resolution. Do you have a need for a very accurate display of small visual details or are you looking for a general presentation. 1/2/3: We use everyday XGA – presentations – Higher end spec use 4/5/6 Primary Use: PowerPoint presentations/charts/graphs – SVGA OR XGA (WXGA is a good widescreen choice) Engineering drawings, digital photography, complex Excel spreadsheets – SXGA resolution or higher.

- If your meetings are never in the same location often, you're going to want a no-nonsense projector that's easy to carry. For that, we can recommend the Epson EX7235 Pro ($599.99, £385.24, AU$738.45). Weighing in at 5.29 pounds, and measuring 11.7" x 9.0" x 3.0" (W x D x H), it supports connecting via USB, WiFi, VGA, HDMI, or the mobile MHL. Not only is it easy to move around with, it's extremely easy to use, so much so that booting and choosing your input source only took a mere 34 seconds in our testing. This is all with an intensely strong lamp, which maxes out at 3000 lumens. It is ideal for those who need a simple, portable projector for anything except for streaming video, as we experienced quality issues there, with output being either grainy or stuttering. It also suffered from a moment reminiscent of IKEA, with Some Assembly Required. That in 2015 we're requiring customers to find a screwdriver in order to set up WiFi sounds comically backwards. Sure, the EX7235 Pro doesn't force users to rely on just WiFi for presenting, but when you're dealing anything meant for on-the-go, WiFi is the connection of choice for most. Setting up said WiFi wasn't easy either, but once it's up, the EX7235 Pro performed like the four-star unit we believe it is Portable projectors are important for users who want a light-weight device that doesn't compromise image quality. The Epson EX7235 Pro ($599.99 USD, £385.24, AU$738.45) is perfect for this scenario. It is light (5.29 pounds), easy to use, and quick to boot. This is an ideal device for those who want to have a simple, portable projector for business or heavy-duty home use. In regards to portability, the ViewSonic PLED-W800, priced at ($693.31, £455.57, AU$851.26) weighs a lot less than the Epson EX7235 Pro at 1.98 lbs and has a smaller footprint. But, the Epson EX7235 Pro comes with far more features, including Wi-fi, which the ViewSonic doesn't support without the use of an optional dongle. Are you more concerned with power than portability? If so, the Optima GT1080 is a heftier machine with better image resolution. It weighs 6 pounds, but it projects a beautiful Full HD image and supports 3D. It has 2 HDMI ports, and a Mini USB connection, however, it doesn't have Wi-fi support. It's an ideal device for gamers or as a stationary projector, but it's not necessarily suited for the business-focused audience. The Epson EX7235 Pro may lack in image quality, but you'll get more features than you would with the Optima in a lighter body. Specs Any employee in the IT department usually dreads the "I need a projector" request. Why? Because projectors are clunky, heavy and are not traditionally user-friendly. However, the EX7235 Pro provides a nice solution for these challenges. It has everything a working professional needs - mobility, ease-of-use, power, and it produces quality images. Epson EX7235 Pro review Digsby IM, Email, and Social Networks in one easy to use application! http://digsby.com For starters, the EX7235 Pro features a brilliant 3000 lumens lamp that has a contrast ratio of 10,000:1 and a native resolution of 1280x800. Epson's 3LCD Technology produces brighter whites than DLP-based projectors and there are no rainbow effects. As for projection ratio, the native ratio is 16:10 but does support the older 4:3 and 16:9 ratios seamlessly. This projector weighs only 5.29 lbs (2.68 Kg). The size of this projector is 11.7" x 9.0" x 3.0" (W x D x H). The device is easy to carry, easy to move, and the fact that it comes with a carrying case is such a nice touch. The device comes with a USB Wi-fi Dongle for Wi-fi Support and it has the following inputs: 1 HDMI input, 1 computer/component D-Sub 15pin, 1 S-Video mini connection, 1 Composite Video/Audio (RCA), and 2 USB connectors. One of the two USB connections (USB 3.0) is for the Epson EX7235 Pro's Plug-n-Play feature and the other USB connection (USB 2.0) can be used for a thumb drive or the provided Epson Wireless module for this projector. This device offers a nice variety of connection options for projection. Epson EX7235 Pro review Not only does this device come with a USB Wi-fi Dongle and a carrying case, but Epson also gives you all the necessary tools to get started and working right out of the box. Epson provides the USB cable to use the EX7235 Pro's Plug-n-Play feature, a light little remote to control the projector, software, a VGA cable (which is wonderful as VGA cables always seem to be missing when needed), and a really easy and beautiful Get-Started foldout brochure.
- If you're looking to present in a bright room, or shopping with no worry about price, ViewSonic's Pro8600, weighing 8.5 pounds and measuring 13.1" x 10.4" x 4.3" (W x D x H), and Pro8520HD, also 8.5 pounds and a very similar 13.1" x 10.4" x 4.8" (W x D x H) are especially relevant. The Pro8600 retails for about $1700 (around £1125, AU$2068) online, and the Pro8520HD can be found online at a bump up to around $1799 (around £1190, AU$2188). Both machines run very loud and very bright, thanks to the Pro8600's 6000 lumen and the Pro8520HD's 5000 lumen capable lamps. So if you're looking to make presentations to people who drift off when the lights go out, make sure you consider these options. Neither are great with USB, but if you're looking to present video, both have HDMI slots - the Pro8520HD actually offers two, if that's something you would need. Both projectors render HD color video beautifully, although Pro8520HD arguably over-saturates the colors. While the video on the Pro8520HD is of great quality, you're going to need to have any audio pretty loud, thanks to a whirring fan that hovered around 79 decibels in our testing. While the Pro8600 suffers the same noise pollution - its fan reaches 65 decibels - it does feature a useful ECO mode that can dampen the noise. As you would expect from projectors marketed on their HD quality, these units can get an image large enough for native HD proportions
- the ViewSonic PLED-W800 (about $808, £535, AU$983) still performs well. It earns its price tag thanks to ultra-portability, weighing in at 1.98 pounds and measuring 13.1" x 10.4" x 4.3" (W x D x H). With a lamp that can reach up to 800 lumens, you can still run a presentation in whatever room you can bring it to, provided you can shade the windows and lower the lighting. It comes with an SD Card slot, a USB slot, an MHL-ready HDMI input (for connecting DVD/Blu-ray players and also smartphones/tablets) and a VGA input for laptop
- 3LCD laser projector - The Sony VPL-FHZ55 is designed to be installed once and not moved for a long time. At 26.5 pounds nobody will be volunteering to move it between floors, or even carting it between rooms. It measures 15.3" x 19.8" x 5.8" (W x D x H) and we believe it best positioned on a ceiling, even though that will make it even harder to ever move. With all that size, there is a lot to say about it. Noteworthy for being the first 3LCD projector - a projection chip technology popularized by Epson and Panasonic - with a lamp-less treatment, thanks to a blue laser light source deployed by Sony. For all that above hype and hubbub, the enormous price of about $11,490 (£7,000, about AU$12,540) should not shock you. It's seriousness isn't just from a top-out of 4,000 lumens, but the fact that it can go for 20,000 hours, reducing the routine expense of replacing burnt out lamps that projectors generally include. It is connector heavy, as it should be with that price-tag. The right-hand side is a full set of BNC/component inputs, an RGB D-sub 15-pin slot, DVI-D, monitor output and an HDMI input. On the opposite side is S-video, composite video, various analogue audio ins and outs, an RS-232C control jack (beloved of Crestron control systems, among others), the DC inlet, and wired LAN. Unfortunately, as we notice all too frequently even with the best reviewed units, there is no built in WiFi for the VPL-FHZ55, though it can be networked. And the last thing we'll note is that the VPL-FHZ55 needs some room. To fill our 80-inch test screen we had to place the VPL-FHZ55 about 11.5 feet away!
