Handsome Is
The Toshiba MT 200 was shipped in a black carrying case which also holds the video cables (S-Video and 3-meter RCA composite), a power cable and the little remote control. The build quality of the product is excellent. The tasteful white pearl-like shell is very nicely set off by chromed buttons, giving the projector a look that's both restrained and modern. The navigation arrows are surrounded by a slight greenish halo of light that softly lights the buttons for operating the unit in semi-darkness. The luminous ring also serves as a pilot for lamp heating, fan operation and temperature. Under the projector are the usual feet - three on this model. They all have rubber pads to avoid slippage.
