As a business projector, the EP-731 is quite good. While resting just below average in our tests, it showed some strength in data projection, as well as a reasonably high score for DVD playback.

As a business projector, the EP-731 is quite good. While resting just below average in our tests, it showed some strength in data projection, as well as a reasonably high score for DVD playback. Its letdowns were bright black levels, plus some less-than-subtle colour graduations, particularly with high-contrasting colour combinations.



Specification-wise, the Optoma wasn’t too bad, with a high 1,500:1 contrast ratio and 1,100 Ansi lumens. The picture was certainly visible even with a modicum of ambient light, but this was more down to the contrast levels than the brightness.



For use in the office the EP-731 comes with a D-Sub pass-through, and was one of the quieter, cooler running units.

Sony has raised the bar for action and sports fans with the first 200Hz television promising silky smooth motion. So how noticeable are the results?

A great combination of new features and the usual Nikon image and build quality make this a superb camera.

Navman or TomTom? We tested the best selling units in a head to head battle to see which would get us home faster and with less hassle.
