The editors liked

  • Bright
  • Colourful pictures
  • Convenient iPod playback
  • Easy to set up and use
  • Lots of connection options
  • * iOS device dock
  • Very good data and video image quality
  • Docks with and projects from your Apple mobile device
  • The MG850HD is an HDcapable projector with integrated speakers and a cradle for the iPod/iPhone/iPad
  • The docking cradle will charge your iDevice
  • And you can navigate your media via the projector remote. You can view purchased/rented video content from the iTunes store
  • As well as YouTube video
  • Dual USB ports allow for media playback via a computer or USB storage device
  • Two lamp modes all
  • Hideable dock. Sounds great even at ultra-loud volumes. Crystal-clear image. HDMI port.
  • Docks Apple devices and plays all the media within. Movies sound great and look even better. Simple controls on both the projector and its onscreen menus. Clever “coffee break” button pauses the video but turns the image white so you can find your way in

The editors didn't like

  • Blacks could be deeper
  • HD only 720p
  • Speakers too tinny for music
  • A bit noisy
  • Loud fan
  • * iTunes video must be fully loaded to iOS device
  • * Choppy video when mirrored from Mac over USB
  • Price when rated
  • $800
  • A little too heavy to be easily portable
  • Could use a VGA connector to use with computers that lack an HDMI port
  • The MG850HD does not have a 1080p resolution. It's a 720p projector
  • The projector doesn't have as many advanced picture adjustments as you get in a higherend model
  • It lacks RS232
  • IR ports
  • And a 12volt trigger
  • There are no lensshift controls
  • And zoom/focus are manual.
  • Expensive. Between air filters and lamp replacements it takes more maintenance than a TV. Position of iOS device on the back of the projector can be impractical.
  • IPad use requires a clunky plastic bracket. Remote doesn't work with apps like Netflix
  • And only some of its buttons are backlit. Some of the best thirdparty video apps aren't compatible

  • Abstract:  Say you've an iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, and you want to connect it to an external display device, such as a TV or projector - what would you do? You can use adapters, such as Apple's very own digital AV adapter, but why the hassle if you can plug it di...

  • Station d'accueil intégrée,  Deux haut-parleurs
  •  Rien
  • Le MG-8550HD d'Epson est un produit abouti. Simple à mettre en œuvre, il saura séduire les possesseurs d'appareils Apple qui utilisent leur périphérique comme lecteur photo et vidéo. Il réalise des projections de bonne qualité avec un rendu fidèle des co...

  • De MG-850HD is een prettige projector, in gebruik, maar ook qua kwaliteit. De lichtopbrengst is top en het geluid is ook goed, zeker voor een beamer. Of je daar de ruim 600 euro voor over hebt, geen idee. Een grote televisie kost ook veel centjes. Je kunt...

  • Zeer gebruiksvriendelijk, Helder en scherp beeld, Design past bij iPhone en iPad, Schappelijke prijs
  • Ingebouwde speaker had beter gekund
  • Met de MG-850HD levert Epson een heerlijke projector af voor een allround gebruik. Zeker gezien het schappelijke prijskaartje van nog geen 700 euro. Het beeld is uitermate helder en kleurrijk, en met een resolutie van 1280x800 pixels knalt u een haarsche...

  • MG-850HD från Epson är en HD-klar 3LCD-hemmabioprojektor med dockningsstation för iPod. Den ska enligt tillverkaren vara enkel att ansluta och kräver inga appar eller andra tillbehör för att fungera....
