Specs and RatingsConclusion
The PJD6531w is a bright projector that doesn’t compromise on performance: we found that it did a good job displaying both video and still images. The images it produced were bright, and the projector had good color accuracy when calibrated. The wide variety of modes it offers means that it can work in a variety of situations. However, it is a little large for portable use, and it generates a fair amount of noise and heat.
| Section | The Good | The Bad | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tour & Design | Well designed, with easy to use controls. | Large fan vents. | |
| Blacks & Whites | Produces lots of light in presentation modes. | Image is a little dim in movie mode. | |
| Color Accuracy | Very consistent whites and smooth color response. | Color Gamut is a little inaccurate. | |
| Motion | Smooth, clean motion. | DLP rainbow effect is prominent. | |
| Viewing Effects | Plenty of light means that it can fill a big screen. | Doesn't have the power to cut through high ambient light. | |
| Calibration | Easy to calibrate. | Calibration cuts brightness significantly. | |
| Remote Control | Small, handy remote. | N/A | |
| Connectivity & Media | Decent selection of ports. | Only one HDMI port. | |
| Power, Noise & Heat | Fan noise is only moderate in ECO mode. | Noisy fan in all other modes; uses quite a lot of power. | |
