Reviews of the BenQ MP512 ST

CNET Review
The Good: Extremely affordable; relatively deep black levels for an entry-level projector.
The Bad: Color accuracy leaves a bit to be desired; short on features; resolution too low for serious home theater use; not ideal for screen sizes larger than 92 inches wide.
The Bottom Line: Priced less than a midsize flat-screen LCD TV, BenQ's MP512 ST DLP projector is a solid, affordable option for people who want a big screen for casual use or gaming.
