Dell 4350 Pro Reviews

The Dell 4350 is a decent business beamer with some home cinema pretensions. Unfortunately its bright, vibrant image is far better suited to the boardroom than it is to the home cinema, where it struggles with the finer details of the movie world.

The Dell Projector 4350 is an attractive choice as a data projector for business presentation use. Its strongest attribute is its ability to deliver extremely sharp text and small font sizes. If you are working with a lot of financial spreadsheets, text documents, or line art with lots of detail like engineering or architectural drawings, the 4350 is a solid choice for this type of presentation. The fan noise may be a problem in some cases, but if you can use Eco mode with its lower noise level, or position the projector where nobody will be close to it, that won't matter. Similarly, its mediocre color quality for video and its tendency to show rainbow artifacts makes it the wrong choice if you need to show much video. But it handles video well enough for short video clips in a business presentation. Overall, the 4350 delivers a bright, high resolution image with crisp detail, and adequate color quality for static data images, along with the convenience of a 1.36x zoom. And if you need to leave the projector where anybody can get to it, the hidden compartment for a wireless dongle adds a welcome touch of extra security. That all adds up to making it a good fit for permanent installation in a corporate conference room. Meanwhile, its 6.6-pound weight makes it a particularly strong candidate if you need a 1080p projector you can carry with you.

The 1080p Dell Projector 4350 is pricey for what it delivers, but it can handle detailed images at sizes that are big enough for a midsize room and bright enough to stand up to ambient light.
