Sharp Notevision XR-1S

REVIEW

By Alfred Poor

The Sharp Notevision XR-1S weighs just 3.2 pounds and is so small that you could set two side by side on a standard desktop keyboard and still have space left over. The DLP projector has only SVGA resolution, but that is more than sufficient for typical PowerPoint presentations and video. And it's as bright as or brighter than the average $1,000 projector that would weigh about twice as much.

Bottom Line

The Notevision XR-1S from Sharp is a tiny projector that makes big, bright images. It has some limitations and relatively minor display-quality flaws, but it costs only a few hundred dollars more than similar projectors that weigh twice as much.

Pros

Extremely small. Bright image for a 3.2-pound projector. Good printed documentation.

Cons

Fairly noisy. Small remote with fewer buttons and tiny legends. Limited connectors.
