Canon Realis X600
With Remote Top Angle Front Lense

review

By M. David Stone

Like most people who've seen an LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon) projector in action, I'm a big fan of the technology. But until now, even the least expensive LCOS projectors carried price tags of almost $5,000, making it hard to recommend one to a small business on a tight budget. The XGA (1,024-by-768) Canon Realis X600 doesn't fully solve the cost issue, but with a street price of $3,000, it's the most affordable LCOS projector yet.

Bottom Line

The Canon Realis X600 is the least expensive projector available to date that's built around LCOS, a technology that eliminates problems common to LCD and DLP projectors.

Pros

LCOS technology sidesteps common problems with LCD and DLP projectors. Bright image. Good color.

Cons

Relatively big and heavy. Volume is too low to be usable.
