ViewSonic, which followed up its iPod-friendly ViewDock
monitors with the PJ258D, claimed to be the first projector with a built-in dock
for your 5G ‘Pod.
With a resolution of just 1024 x 768, this $1,300 gadget is obviously not the best choice for displaying your 1080p content, but according to Laptop magazine, it does an admirable job displaying the iPod’s VGA output on a 5-foot+ screen. It also has a good feedback on the unit’s brightness, which measured 2265 ANSI lumens - even though its only rated at 2000 lumens out of the box.
Less impressive are the controls and connections: buttons are small and hard to see, the included presentation remote won’t connect to your notebook for PowerPoints, and the dearth of inputs means that you’ll either need a switcher or another projector.
