Password protection - yet another handy feature to screw over the next person in line to use the department's projector.

Damn

I was looking for something just like this, but I need one that can project 32.5 feet. Damn! I guess this one won't do.

reinventing the wheel

Hmm, If I remember correctly then I had a Philips projector in 2001 that also had a password protection. Innovative indeed...

Shines out buty only just....

As you say, introduced to stop kids nicking classroom projectors and making a few hundred quid.

"It can display an impressive 16.7m colours..."

Impressive if you come from 1994. That's about as standard a spec as you can get - why imply that it's special, unless you lack the technical knowledge to say anything meaningful and feel you have to be impressed by *something* to justify your review.

Meanwhile, 600:1? Yipes. Sounds like my CRT projector in a sunlit room...

Eh?

Why did they even bother bringing this one out? It's average in almost every way, except for the ways it's below average. It's mutton dressed as lamb.
