Samsung throws its hat into the inexpensive Full HD projector ring with their new A600 and this theater projector is nothing short of a bombshell. The A600 is the newest addition to the A series of projectors from Samsung and fits in quite nicely below the A800 and A900 Joe Kane Signature Series 1080p Projectors. The A600 will share the same depth and image performance seen in its two older brothers.
The new A600 is splashed with a glossy black finish and sports the same rounded edges as the A800 and A900. Samsung is trying to please everyone with this projector so in addition to the full HD capabilities, they made it weigh less than 13 pounds and kept it extremely quiet. The lamp is said to consume 220 watts of energy and last for 4,000 hours in economy mode and 3,000 hours at full brightness. It is also capable of an incredibly short throw ratio of just 1.99 which makes it perfect for mounting on the roof or playing from a table in front of you.
As per usual, Samsung makes sure it’s quite easy for you to plug your goodies into it. There are two HDMI inputs, an S-Video input, and both composite and component inputs. It’s also incredibly easy to connect to your PC. They have inputs for the much loved 15-pin VGA style input which makes it perfect for work presentations or streaming video from the web. Samsung’s new projector boasts 1,000 ANSI lumens blasting through a DLP optical engine with a 3,000:1 contrast ratio and a 6 segment colour wheel.
And all this from a company you trust for just $1795. When they start showing up on the internet, you know I’ll be the first one to show you where.
