We have to admit to being sceptical of the ViewSonic Viewdock, mainly because the quality of the iPod video projected to a large screen gives rise to concern. But during testing, both the ViewSonic projector and the iPod delivered in spades. The projec...
Niche product, works well as a business projector and home-audio device, great image quality...
Poor sound quality...
Despite having our reservations about this device (the addition of a dock to a projector seemed gimmicky), we have to concede that it’s a success. The PJ258D is a stylish device that matches an iPod nicely and produces great video quality. It also h...

Soon everything is going to have an iPod dock built in. TVs, toasters, horses, children: all will be able to mechanically and electronically accommodate Apples populist widget. Take this Hi-Def (1024x768) projector, which comes with a "special hatch...

Projectors are not always the subject of huge excitement, but this is no ordinary projector. Sure, it can connect to any normal DVD player or PC for playback, but an integrated iPod dock is the PJ258Ds true defining feature. We have to admit to bein...

Is the iPod dock the digital watch of the Oughties? Back in the early 1980s, cheaper LCD technology meant that anything could have an LCD clock in it -- stuffed koalas, teaspoons, you name it. Here we are, 20 years later, and we now have a budget-level...

With a brightness rating of 2,000 lumens at this price, consider the iPod playback a bonus. Every company seems to be looking for ways to stick an iPod dock into their product, but in the case of the PJ258D ViewDock Projector, there’s a good reaso...
Full 5G iPod integration. Nice design. Good brightness.
Not compatible with current iPods. Fiddly onboard control. We prefer a zoom wheel to a zoom slider. No widescreen mode.

No DVI port; built-in speaker sounds tinny.
The ViewSonic PJ258D is a good all-around projector. Its size, weight, and feature set make it easy to move from the office to your living room and back. Unfortunately, it lacks some of the key features necessary to make it a star performer in either s...
