Canon LV-8310
Previous: Page 13
Optoma HD66 ComparisonNext: Page 15
Specs and RatingsConclusion
The Canon LV-8310 is an impressive package for the business user who needs some flexibility; it provides a good number of inputs, has the power to cut through moderate amounts of light and produces good looking color. It is missing HDMI ports, though, and it is somewhat bulky compared to other projectors. So, it would be a good pick for an office projector, but the road warrior is going to need something smaller and easier to carry.
| Section | The Good | The Bad | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tour & Design | Handle on back of body makes carrying easy | Large, somewhat bulky design | |
| Blacks & Whites | Produces a very decent 2500 lumens | Lumens is a bit below spec, blacks are not very deep. | |
| Color Accuracy | Very smooth RGB curves | Some color temperature glitches, slightly inaccurate color gamut | |
| Motion | Motion is acceptably smooth | No motion processing | |
| Viewing Effects | 1.2x zoom lens provides flexibility in placement | Lacks the lumen power to cut through higher levels of ambient light | |
| Calibration | Relatively little tweaking required to calibrate | No major issues | |
| Remote Control | Small compact remote fits well into the hand | Some commonly used buttons placed out out reach at the top of the remote | |
| Connectivity & Media | Plenty of inputs, including multiple analog audio inputs | No HDMI ports | |
| Power, Noise & Heat | Quiet fan for the power use | Uses a fair amount of power, air exiting the projector body is hot | |
