You’ll be getting the feeling by now that, in pretty much every respect, the TDP-SW20 is outgunned by its competitors in the levels of performance, specification and portability you get for your money.
Don’t get us wrong, we’re not saying that there’s anything major wrong with the TDP-SW20. It’s just that you don’t have to look very hard to find projectors boasting XGA resolution (1024 x 768) with higher brightness ratings for around the same money as this machine (£866.10 inc VAT). And many of them are a good deal more portable too.
Where the TDP-SW20 comes into its own is that it is just about the only projector in its price bracket that comes ready for wireless connection, and it’s this that will ultimately sway buyers one way or the other.
If you think about it hard enough, though, and take into consideration the limitations of wireless projection, you may well come to the same conclusion as we did: that it’s not really worth the sacrifice, even at such a low price.Read full review
