One glance at the TDP-ET20U and you might think it capable of thrusting a salivating mandible through your chest. Black, sleek, and oblong, the rig resembles the carapace of a Xenomorph Alien. And just like its cinematic predecessor, this projector provides countless hours of entertainment.

WIRED
Excellent image quality at close projection. One of the first projectors with built in DVD and audio. Otherworldly look. Extremely intuitive menu. HDMI connection for high quality video sources. Supports multiple file formats and DVD types.
TIRED
Distorted image from distances more than 7 feet. No RCA audio input. No option for ceiling mount. Built-in audio won't fill large rooms. Pronounced lag when paired with a gaming console. Gets hotter than the seventh circle of hell.
