Canon USA Canon Realis SX50 Projector

The 8.6-pound Canon Realis SX50 ($4999 as of January 11, 2006) is the only projector of the 16 we tested for our April 2006 issue's roundup that uses liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) technology--a hybrid of DLP and LCD systems. As such, the SX50...

Displayed accurate colors and details ; Good for fixed-installation environments

Resolution not supported by all laptops

The full-size remote works well. It provides remote mouse control, a pointer, and dedicated buttons for changing the picture mode and using the pointer function. Cables bundled with this unit include USB, computer (DVI-VGA), and component video...

Displayed accurate colors and details ; Good for fixed-installation environments

Resolution not supported by all laptops

This pricey LCoS projector excels at bright, colorful graphics, but sharp text requires a SXGA+ resolution source.

Canon Realis SX50

A big part of what makes the Realis SX50 ($5,000 street) worth noticing is that it's built around LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) technology. If you haven't heard of LCoS, it's because there haven't been many LCoS projectors to hear about. With the...

LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) technology sidesteps common problems of both DLP and LCD projectors. Bright image. Excellent color and overall image quality. High resolution

The native resolution is SXGA+ (1,400-by-1,050), which your current system may not support. Volume from the built-in speakers is barely loud enough to fill a small closet

A lot has been written about LCoS (liquid crystal on silicon) and how it promises to be a much better projector technology than DLP and LCD technology. The Canon Realis SX50, which is currently the lightest LCoS projector on the planet, goes a long way...

Canon Realis SX50

Before I go further, here's a link to a overview of SXGA+ LCD and LCOS projectors, who purchases them, and why, and where that market is going. However, in summary, many laptops today are now higher resolution than XGA (1024x768), and, also, there are...

Razor sharp image ; Invisible pixels ; Bright ; Accurate colors ; Zoom lens has wide range (1.7x) ; Excellent compression technology had no problems with other 4:3 resolutions, and did equally well with widescreen sources ; Very, very good color...

Remote lacks disk pad, limiting cursor control to up/down/left/right for computer presentation/cursor control ; Slightly noisy (not a serious problem, even in a small room) definitely noisy though for home theater

By far, the least expensive (Suggested retail: $4999) by at least $2000

Review: Canon Realis SX50

Until now, projectors featuring very high resolution, say in the class of 1400x 1050 or more, have been large, bulky, and expensive. So it is understandable that one of the most anticipated releases of the last few months has been the Canon Realis SX50.
