Dell M318WL Performance

Brightness. The M318WL is rated at 500 lumens, but unlike most projectors, our
test unit exceeded its rating. With the presentation mode set to Bright, our test unit
produced the following ANSI lumen readings:

Dell M318WL ANSI Lumens

MODE NORMAL ECO

Bright 545 465

 Presentation 465 395

Movie 360 305

sRGB 385 325

ECO mode. ECO mode reduced brightness by about 15%, so using Eco mode
reduces fan noise and has little impact on image brightness.

Brightness Uniformity. The M318WL showed uniformity of 85%, which is excellent

for such a low-cost projector. Even on solid color screens, it was impossible to detect
any bright spots.

Throw Distance. According to its specifications, the M318WL can put up focused
diagonal images from 30" to 80" from throw distances of 3.2' to 8.5', respectively.
However, our test unit focused well at up to 25% longer and shorter throw distances
than specified. Actually, it was still in focus with image sizes in excess of 100", but
the image was too dim to be useful.

Input Lag. The M318WL has an input lag of 17ms.

Fan Noise. Fan noise is quite low and is composed of medium frequencies that will
not bother most viewers. Eco mode substantially reduces fan noise with virtually no
reduction in image brightness, so for intimate gatherings, Eco mode is a good
choice.

Setting up the Dell S318WL

Mounting. Since the M318WL is so small and light, care must be taken when routing
cables to the projector. Any tension in the cables is liable to twist the M318WL off-
axis. To minimize this issue, a small collapsible tripod is supplied. It simply screws
into the base of the M318WL and has a locking mechanism that minimizes and
torque from cables. Be aware that the M318WL cannot be tilted back to project on
the ceiling.

Throw distance. The M318WL is rated to display diagonal image sizes of 30" to 80".
Since there is no zoom lens, the image size is varied by moving the projector closer
to or farther from the screen. For a 30" image, the projector is about 3'2" from the
screen, and for an 80" image, it's about 8'6" away.

Focus. Focus is smooth and effective beyond the rated throw distance range, so
image sizes below 30" and above 80" are possible. Our test unit maxed out at about
a 100" diagonal and the image was a bit dim, but in a darkened room, it was quite
acceptable.

Our take on the Dell M318WL

The Dell M318WL is an outstanding little pocket sized presentation gem that is quick
and easy to set up for small group presentations where you don't need the huge
screen size you get from bigger and brighter projectors. It delivers solid contrast and
a sharp image edge to edge. Data projection looks clean and crisp even at small
fonts with maximum keystone correction.

We tested the M318WL in different lighting conditions from full normal room light, to
subdued, dim lighting to dark. In full room light we got a very satisfactory data
presentation image at 50" diagonal; in low ambient light you can go to 70", and in the
dark it can go to 100" diagonal. So there is more than ample image size for small
presentations, with extra latitude to go to 100" and a larger audience in the dark if
needed.

The M318WL connects directly via HDMI cable to sources like laptops and DVD
players, and memory sticks plug directly into the USB connector on the rear panel for
presenting Microsoft Office files, photos, and music content. You can also transfer
files to the M318WL's internal 7GB memory for wire-free presenting. For wireless
devices, you simply purchase the optional wireless dongle (Dell 725-BBEY) and
connect to tablets, phones, and other wireless devices.

Though designed for mobile presentation, the M318WL can double as a solid video
projector as well, although you'll want an external sound bar for the full experience --
the 1W on-board speaker is not intended to give you the sound a big video picture
demands. But assuming you've got the sound covered, the M318WL produces very
satisfying black levels and color saturation is good. Color is reasonably well
balanced and very watchable in Presentation mode in particular.

With a street price of about $400 and an LED illumination system with a 20,000-hour
life, cost of ownership is negligible at about $0.02 per hour. The illumination system
is warranted for the same 2-year period as the projector itself.
The M318WL does not come with a remote control, as the projector itself is not much
bigger than the remotes on larger projectors. So you operate its menu from the
control keys on top of the projector.

However, if you want a separate remote you can get one as an option (Dell 725-
BBEP). That gives you a couple of extra benefits -- first it eliminates image shake
that can happen if you're using the buttons on the projector itself, and second, it
gives you single-key control functions not available on the built-in keypad such as
source switching, audio muting, and presentation mode.

Another optional accessory is a battery pack (Dell 451-BBKV) that will give you
about two hours of data and video presentation on a charge. It's a handy feature for
those times when you are not sure that an AC outlet is available at your presentation
site.
