But this projector presents no such problems. Some consumers might turn and run when a snobbish fancy-pants gadget site like Gizmodo says it has the "worst contrast ratio, or lack thereof, we've ever seen" and that games look "as pixelated as any video could ever possibly be." Those self-confessed projector snobs can say that the FBI warning at the beginning of a DVD "looked like hieroglyphics." They can say it "even smelled bad, like mildew, and made way more noise than we could bear."

You know what I say? "One, please."

Because, of the three words "World's Crappiest Projector", only the last one really matters. Why get all caught up in nitpicking over lumens and contrast ratio and weird visual artifacts? That way lies higher prices. Me, I'm a projector owner now. How many of the other consultants at the shoeshine stand can say that?
