A quote from the article:
This is one bright beamer. Capable of pumping out 6,000 lumens for the paltry sum of around £1,500 ($2520/AUS$2719), ViewSonic has come up with something genuinely exciting.Add an ability to simultaneously display the desktops of four computer screens and the Pro8600 seems like the ideal solution for collaboration.Add DLP Link 3D readiness and the Pro8600 could be perfect for some, but there are aspects about the Pro8600 that make it anything but cutting-edge. SpecificationsOur major worry is detail ? or lack of. If an XGA resolution (1024 x 768 pixels) for this kind of money seems unreasonable (particularly if it's then divvied-up between four computers), we're also not convinced by its 4:3 native shape.We would have preferred 16:10. Weighing 3.86kg and measuring 333 x 263 x 110mm, the Pro8600 comes in a handy carry case, though it's pretty basic stuff; the wraparound zip is handy for quickly extracting the Pro8600, and so too is the front section for all cables, but the fabric just doesn't seem strong enough. It comes with a shoulder strap, but it's a flimsy solution and we're not sure many people will risk carting around a £1,500 projector using only that for support. The Pro8600 is networkable, but only via wired LAN; WiFi is only a possibility if you purchase an optional WiFi dongle from ViewSonic.
