Toshiba’s Cinema In A Box
The
market for all-in-one projectors is beginning to gather some steam with Toshiba
being the latest company to launch a product. That doesn’t mean they are the
best option though for the home cinema enthusiast.
The TDP-ET20 comes with an in-built DVD
player and in-built Dolby 5.1 surround sound. It’s standard definition, not
high definition, 
projector with a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels which is fine for watching DVDs or hooking up to your PC or games console. Contrast is 1500:1, it has a brightness level of
1100 ANSI Lumens and is based on DLP projection technology.
It’s a good looking device but at almost £1,000 it’s
very expensive and more suited for use in pubs and clubs. For the home, you
could do a lot better opting for a dedicated projector and high-definition
models are now a lot cheaper.
Personally, I’d opt for the excellent Optoma HD70 high-definition projector for a pocket-friendly £800 or the award-winning, InFocus IN76 for around £1,200 online.
