4 Reasons For for Choosing the Panasonic PTEX16KU
The Panasonic PTEX16KU has a bulb power of 380W, however the Benq MP610 and the Epson VS210 are both only 200W lamp power projectors (180W smaller), the DELL 4320 is only a 300W lamp power projector (80W smaller) and the Sony VPL-CX235 is only a 245W lamp power projector (135W smaller). More ...
'Bulb Power' denotes how powerful the bulb in the projector is, measured in watts (W).
A more powerful bulb means that the projector will be seen clearer, and can project to surfaces father away without appearing too dark.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU supports full HD (as does the Benq MP610), but the DELL 4320, the Epson VS210 and the Sony VPL-CX235 do not support this feature. More ...
Full HD projectors can display full HD content such as films and HD TV.
Full HD projectors can display full HD content such as films and HD TV.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU has an Ethernet LAN, and so do the DELL 4320 and the Sony VPL-CX235, but the Benq MP610 and the Epson VS210 do not. More ...
'Ethernet LAN' denotes whether the projector has the native capability to connect to the local network, in order to receive movie files and the like from your computer.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU is ceiling mountable, and so are the Benq MP610, the DELL 4320 and the Epson VS210, but the Sony VPL-CX235 is not. More ...
'Ceiling Mountable' indicates whether the projector is capable of being mounted to the ceiling or not.
Ceiling mounting is the best way of assuring the projector always has a clear line of sight to the projecting surface.
10 Reasons Against for Choosing the Panasonic PTEX16KU
The Panasonic PTEX16KU has a projector native resolution of 1024 x 768 (XGA) (as is the Sony VPL-CX235), however the DELL 4320 has a projector native resolution of 1280 x 800 (WXGA). More ...
The projector native resolution is the resolution of image that the projector is able to produce. The resolution is expressed as the number of horizontal pixels by the number of vertical pixels.
A projector with a higher native resolution will be able to display more detailed images such as HD content.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU is a 51dB projector. That's 18dB louder than the Benq MP610 (33dB), 14dB louder than the DELL 4320 and the Epson VS210 (37dB) and 16dB louder than the Sony VPL-CX235 (35dB). More ...
The noise level of the projector is the amount of noise that the projector makes (caused by the cooling fan inside the projector) when it is running.
A lower noise level means that the projector will be quieter when it is running. This means that you will be able to appreciate the quieter parts of films better without the background noise of the projector running. Most projectors have a noise level between 30 and 40Db, which rates them as 'very quiet' by Industial Noise Control - on par with low bird calls, or a quiet rural area. You can find more information here: http://www.industrialnoisecontrol.com/comparative-noise-examples.htm.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU has a low (2500:1) contrast ratio, and so are the Benq MP610, the DELL 4320 and the Epson VS210, which is half as high contrast ratio as the Sony VPL-CX235 (medium). More ...
The contrast ratio is the ratio between the brightness of the brightest white and the brightness of darkest black that the projector can produce.
A higher contrast ratio means that the projector can produce images with greater contrast so that they will appear more vivid.
Panasonic PTEX16KU is only 2h lamp service life (as does the DELL 4320), but the Benq MP610 and the Sony VPL-CX235 are both 3,000h lamp service life projectors (1,000h longer) and the Epson VS210 is a 4,000h lamp service life projector (2,000h longer). More ...
'Service Life' indicates how long the lamp in the projector will last before it needs to be replaced, measured in hours.
A longer life lamp means you'll need to replace it far less frequently, saving you money.
The Panasonic PTEX16KU does not have a built-in speaker, whereas the Benq MP610, the DELL 4320, the Epson VS210 and the Sony VPL-CX235 have this feature. More ...
A projector with built in speakers is able to play sound as well as display images.
Built in speakers mean that you don't need a separate amplifier to play sound with the projector image.

Most projectors have a noise level between 30 and 40Db, which rates them as 'very quiet' by Industial Noise Control - on par with low bird calls, or a quiet rural area.
