Some debate whether any projector that makes less than 1,000 lumens will sell, but that argument is always qualified by price. Clearly, contrast-ratio improvements were something on which Eiki and its OEM partner Sanyo spent a lot of time, and this shows in more than just numbers. The LC-SM1's images also had good uniformity, with only 5 percent variation across the entire screen, along with a good corner brightness of 85 percent. The LC-SM1's audio connection, though, is a ministereo jack, not the more familiar pair of RCA jacks. In addition, Eiki has improved the LC-SM1's video circuits, and you can see the results onscreen and in the HDTV 1080i interface.
