"Running costs are high but with a high resolution and superb performance, it's a groundbreaking product...Ultimately, the XEED SX6 is a fabulous projector."
LABS VERDICT (rated out of 6 stars)
 Performance - 6 stars
Features and Design - 5 stars
Value for Money - 3 stars
Overall - 5 stars
"Canon's XEED range is one of the first to take advantage of LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon), a promising technology for projection. The flagship SX6 offers 4:3 resolution of 1400 x 1050 - one of the highest we've seen from a projector - and a super-bright 3500 lumens. You also get a powered 1.7x zoom, powered focus, an HDCP-compliant DVI interface and Adobe RGD support. It all comes in a 4.7kg chassis that can just about be considered portable, and there's even a high-quality padded carry case in the box for the occasional trip."
"Considering these specifications, Canon's claim of 31dBA in quiet mode is remarkable. The low-humming fans are audible from 50cm away, but disappear completely when further away or if there's other noise in the room."
"The compact remote is responsive and the intuitive menu makes adjustments simple. The auto button automatically adjusts focus, vertical keystone and even tone - you can project onto any colour and the SX6 will perform auto white balance to ensure colours appear correctly - and it really works."
"Viewing high-definition video in Movie & Photo mode, it's clear that the SX6 is outstanding. Even in a well-lit room images are of superb quality."
"To power down, unplug the SX6 and its fans use onboard power to cool the lamp for around three minutes - another neat time-saving feature."
"Ultimately, the XEED SX6 is a fabulous projector. It's only real disadvantage is cost - both to buy and run."
"If you need the brightness, high resolution and the time-saving automatic features, it won't disappoint."
