Optoma MovieTime DV10 Home Theater Projector

Optoma's MovieTime DV10 takes the home-theater-in-a-box concept and shrinks it down to a very small box. The seven-pound unit includes a DLP projector, DVD player and speakers, letting you turn pretty much any room with a white wall into your screening room, making it a great gift for anyone who's impatient to get that home theater up and running. It's capable of throwing a 48-inch display from just 5 feet away, making it useful in small rooms, and it's got inputs for most of the components you're likely to have lying around, just in case you run out of DVD's to play on it. No, it's not a true HD projector (its native resolution is 852x480), but at just $1,299, the DV10 is definitely a quick, easy and affordable way to get a big screen onto just about any wall in your home.
