    • Product Rating: 3.5 star(s) ViewSonic PJ258D (3.5 mice)
      by James Galbraith
    • Pros: iPod dock lets you project audio and video from your iPod; projector is light and compact.
    • Cons: No DVI port; built-in speaker sounds tinny.
    • Comments:
      The ViewSonic PJ258D is a good all-around projector. Its size, weight, and feature set make it easy to move from the office to your living room and back. Unfortunately, it lacks some of the key features necessary to make it a star performer in either sett...

    • Product Rating: 3.5 star(s) Home Theater on the Cheap
      by M. David Stone
    • Pros: iPod dock for projecting video stored on Apple iPod. Also charges iPod. Good contrast ratio.
    • Cons: Poor audio quality. Extremely obvious rainbow effect from DLP chip.
    • Comments:
      The ViewSonic PJ258D ViewDock ($1,000 street) is a perfectly good choice for a projector to connect to a computer to show presentations, or to a DVD player to watch movies. But that's not what's new and exciting about it. Nor is it that it's built around...

    • ViewSonic PJ258D ViewDock Projector
      by Marshal M. Rosenthal
    • Comments:
      Life may be full of compromises, but having to watch video on an iPod's small screen shouldn't be one of them. Not when you can easily haul this 4-pound Viewsonic front projector wherever you want and have its built-in iPod video dock spit out big video a...

      by Online Shopper
    • Pros: Tiny projector with simple set-up
    • Cons: Not HD Ready, Basic picture quality
    • Comments:
      While Viewsonic's earlier 'made for iPod' LCD monitor failed to live up to its claims, there's no need to doubt the company's latest iPod-accessorised projector. Popping it into the provided zip case, you can carry it around in a shoulder bag...
