[dms-discuss] Projector and Sharp PGA20x Bulb

[Bill Horn]

Jim and Rob,

   I just read the reviews for the DBPOWER LED Projector.  I am intrigued
by the whole idea of using LEDs to decrease the high cost of projector
lamps - think it is worth trying out.

Bill

PS It appears to me that some of the more positive reviews might be written
by the manufacturer / distributor, but the majority seem to be from end
users and give a balanced evaluation. It is hard to find any really
independent reviews in this area of technology but I found one site that is
better than average (
http://www.projectorreviews.com/projector-categories/classroom-projectors/
).  However, it does not review this specific product - it just reviews
related LED projectors more generally.
