FAVI RioHD-LED-2

LED projector as featured by PC Magazine. The RioHD-LED-2 by FAVI Entertainment offers the perfect balance in performance and affordability for business professionals, educators, gamers and home theater enthusiasts alike. Its revolutionary LED2 technology provides 20,000 hours or 14 years of lamp life (average of 4 hours per day). while boasting 4 times the brightness of a standard pico projectors. The quick connect VGA and portable design make it ideal for laptop presentations. At less than 3 lbs it easily travels with you to work. Bring your projector home for a family movie night or host the entire neighborhood for a drive-in movie by connecting it to your vehicle's
19V power source. *Recommend a FAVI floor stand projection screen for outdoor use.
 
As compared to non LED lamps, there is no issue of changing the lamp for this model. The manufacturer states 20,000 hrs of lamp life. Tested the following inputs: VGA with laptop, A/V with DVD player, HDMI with upconverting DVD as well as xbox 360.

Pros:
- Budget
- LED lamp
- Built in speakers works through HDMI port and have decent sound
- Power brick indicates 110~240V input

Cons:
- Please bear in mind that the native resolution is 640X480 .... downgrades resolution from laptop, or any input device connected. If you are looking for a higher quality image then this is NOT the product!!
- Requires some dark room ... just depends on how the light source (background or external) is located and the intensity
- Power brick looks and feels a little cheap
- All functions works through the remote (if you loose the remote then you are doomed! therefore -2 stars)
- Product quality (i.e. the construction material, plastic materials etc) feel very cheap (You get what you pay for :( )
- The cooling fan produces noise (same level of noise as some of the bright lamp projectors). Don't expect this product to be quiet!
