Review
I like the projector. It delivers what one can expect from a projector this size when connected to a laptop. However, there are a few problems with it.
1. It doesn't work with the XBox 360 due to the video formats available.
2. The connector cable is flawed. Trying to merge 3 different types of cables into one connector just asked for trouble. Mine already broke twice (and I haven't used the projector all that much) and is now out of warranty. Therefore Dell is not willing to replace it. On top of that, their support told me that they haven't heard reports of broken cables.
