Viewsonic £600 projector is 3D ready
Short-throw business projector hides 3D readiness in its bowels
It may be primarily aimed at the business user, but the Viewsonic PJD5352 DLP projector is capable of displaying 3D images from a variety of sources, as long as it’s paired with active 3D DLP Link glasses.
Natively 4:3, this isn’t really a home cinema product, nor does it come with a HDMI socket, but its 1024 x 768 XGA resolution (1280 x 1024 compressed) and 3000:1 dynamic contrast allows it to show HD video content fed through one of its D-sub (VGA) ports. And its 120Hz refresh rate makes it compatible with any 3D material, to boot.
It also sports an extremely short-throw lens, so a 60-inch image can be displayed from as little as 1 metre away. And, as it only weighs 4kg, it can be handily carried from work to home and back again.
The best news is that it is, for a hi-def projector, cheap as chips (DLP chips?), costing ?600. Obviously the 3D specs will set you back another ?50-?100, but it could be the least expensive way yet to join the 3D revolution.
