About RMIT Test Labs

The projector has all the standard connectors on the side, and also has three RCA video input jacks (YPbPr). The Hitachi is the only other projector to have a similar setup.

Image quality on the other hand was poor. Text appeared quite blurred and even though the projector could project a bright image it tended to be very uneven.
