Toshiba intros uber-cheap TDP-S35U DLP projector

If you're guilty on numerous counts of projector envy, and don't feel like sharpening up your DIY skills to build your own rig, Toshiba has finally unveiled an option that just may cure your coveting. The TDP-S35U takes a small step down in specs from it's T45U counterpart, but manages to take a nosedive in the oh-so-critical price department. Sporting a silver case adequate for any board / living room scenario, the 6.6-pound mobile projector rocks an SVGA resolution, 2000:1 contrast ration, 2000 ANSI lumens, DLP technology, and a wireless remote to boot. The selection of ports aren't too shabby either, as it manages to boast dual VGA inputs, composite / S-Video connectors, audio inputs / outputs, and a VGA passthrough to forward the signal onto an additional display. Most importantly, however, the TDP-S35U can deliver that big screen delectation for just $699 when begins shipping later this month.

Gotta love those wireless remotes...always hate it when they were attached with wires O_O

Judging by the lack of component inputs it is probable that it is not HDtv capable.

Well.. with an 800x600 resolution it's not exactly going to display those HD formats in HD.

Accepting a signal and being an HD device are 2 different things.

Just a less condescending FYI for you.

javi was correct that the projector is not HD capable, meaning it will not display at HD resolution. it will ACCEPT an HD signal, but nearly any projector does this.

the specs for this thing are awful for movies. there are no digital inputs, and not even component inputs which is the highest quality analog input for dvd players. this is clearly a multimedia projector that you could also use for (crappy looking) movies.

You make it out to sound like there are no projects with these specs in this price range currently. There is a 5-star user rated BenQ 800x600 projector for $599 at newegg.com.

[VA @ Oct 11th 2006 12:44AM]

Uh, that's the point nVidiot, this Toshiba projector is SVGA, aka 800x600. Same specs as the BenQ.

VA - He was talking to Matt. The new comments layout needs a better way to show when a comment is a reply.

"uber" means "over" in German. I really wish people would stop using this word incorrectly. If you don't know what the meaning of the words you are using really are, then why not just avoid using them altogether if you're not going to take the time to learn what they mean?
