I originally consider the InFocus x1 , since it be highly rate and probably ` the ' most recommend projector in this price range . however , I be sensitive to the ` rainbow ' effect ' that DLP projector be prone to , so I have to turn to lcd . the NEC vt46 have some favorable review out there , and it have a shorter throw than the x1 , so I decide to pick one up . wow ! the picture be much better than I expect ! despite be a 4:3 projector , it produce a amazing picture with widescreen dvd . the color look very natural and the contrast be excellent . the short throw lens and manual zoom allow I to create a huge image from the coffee table , and it be also very quiet so it do not intrude on quiet scene . I do not hesitate to recommend this projector ; it have exceed my expectation .
