    CNET Review

    October 9, 2008

    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.
