A big image from a short distance
Good short throw performance ; Impressive speaker output
Flakey surround sound performance ; Disappointing resolution
Has some distinct positives but poor resolution and a variety of sound niggles let it down
Expert review by (whathomecinemamag.com)
Most projectors need to be a long way from the screen to deliver massive pictures, but not this DLP model from Toshiba. It uses an ultra short-focus lens to generate a 2.5m (100in) image when placed just 1.3m from the screen

Flakey surround sound performance, Disappointing resolution

The Toshiba TDP-ET20U projector works well for standard-definition TV and includes its own DVD player.
Native widescreen format with 480p resolution. Includes DVD player and audio system. Short throw.
DLP rainbow effect. Does relatively better with standard video than with DVDs. Mediocre audio quality.

Optoma did this before, but the Toshiba is a better performer – it's a clever idea, and well-executed

Very cool
Bright - lots of lumens for use in family rooms, etc., without having to fully darken the room ; Very good warranty ; Cool looking unit ; Sits very close to the screen ; Feels like excellent build quality ; Excellent selection of inputs ; Internal DVD...
Lack of color temperature controls, and the projector's preset modes are all too "cool" for ideal movie watching ; Remote control has button crowding, especially the DVD transport controls
Fun product. The kids will love it. This is a bonus room hit, just picture your kids - or you, spending even more time - watching TV, playing video games, watching movies, on a screen or wall that dwarfs the largest plasma displays or big screen TVs
