Toshiba TLP-S30U

Editors' rating

Very good

7.3

out of 10
  • The good: Very bright; excellent automatic keystone correction; good color accuracy; two-year warranty.
  • The bad: Low contrast ratio; noisy; runs hot; long warm-up and shutdown times; remote lacks mouse emulator and laser pointer.
  • The bottom line: Toshiba's budget LCD projector is bright and reasonably priced, but it pales compared to newer models, such as the Dell 2100MP.

Service and support of Toshiba TLP-S30U

Design: 7 Features: 7 Performance: 8 Service and support: 7

The Toshiba TLP-S30U comes with a two-year limited warranty. Extending the warranty to three or four years costs an extra $359 or $529, respectively. Toshiba has a special toll-free, 24/7 support number for digital projectors (877-523-8324), but neither downloads nor support is available directly through Toshiba's Web site. Online support is available with Toshiba's Ask IRIS feature, which attempts to understand your question but seems to return only references to irrelevant documents. We could not find any tech-support e-mail address.

The TLP-S30U comes with a multilingual owner's manual and a one-page quick-reference guide. The manual covers all of the basic functions of the projector, but the copy we received included references to pages that do not exist, which seems to be standard for this family of projectors. The printed manual includes only the first half of the pages. To see the full version, you have to access the CD-ROM or download a copy from the Toshiba Web site.
