Optoma unveils new, affordable Full HD projector

There are some very agreeable 4K TVs around for less than £600 but, at best, they're reasonably sized and no more.

But if you want the biggest image possible for your money, then a projector is the way forward. And Optoma is widening your choice with the announcement of the new HD27e.

£600 (or perhaps a little less) buys a Full HD 1080p resolution, a maximum image size of 301in, native 16:9 aspect ratio, a stated contrast ratio of 25,000:1 and 3D compatibility.

The HD27e, which weighs a little under 3kg, also features a single speaker driven by 10 watts of power. It's on sale from today.
