    CNET Review

    September 14, 2009

    The Good: Extremely accurate color including spot-on color decoding for both SD and HD; nearly perfect primary/secondary colors and linear grayscale tracking; superb black level and shadow detail performance; bright for its class enabling it to adequately drive larger screen sizes than most of its competition; excellent lens; solid feature package with numerous picture-affecting options; sleek styling.

    The Bad: While improved, black level still not as deep as the best LCoS and LCD projectors; at its price, I expect horizontal lens shift as well as electronic zoom and focus.

    The Bottom Line: The new chip in Samsung's SP-A900B helps it to outperform every projector in its class, including its step-down Joe Kane-designed brother, and to compete favorably against significantly more-expensive three-chip DLP projectors.
