    The Good: Extremely accurate color including spot-on color decoding for both SD and HD, nearly perfect primary colors, and linear grayscale tracking; superb black level and shadow detail performance; plenty of light output; excellent lens; solid feature package with numerous picture-affecting options; beautiful styling.

    The Bad: Black levels not as deep as some high-end projectors; no horizontal lens shift.

    The Bottom Line: The Samsung SP-A800B delivers the most accurate color of any projector we've tested, and as a whole it outperforms every projector in its price range.

    Review Summary: There's a lot to like about Samsung's A800B. The brand's connection with Joe Kane has certainly helped the projector stand out from the pack in the shadow detail and colour tone departments, and the design is both practical (in that it's terrifically ...
