InFocus LP 425Z

Advantages: Reliable, good picture quality, easy to use
Disadvantages: Starting to show its age!

...of us remember from those boring school and college lectures), then the LCD projector is really just an update of this sort of machine. It mainly gets used in my office for displaying presentations put together in Microsoft PowerPoint. In Use The LP425 projector is provided with a padded bag that the machine sits snugly in. When removed from the bag the projector needs to be set up at desk height in order to be in the best place to project the computer image. In the pocket of the padded bag are a power lead, connection leads and a remote control unit. There are two main leads used to connect the projector to the computer. The first lead is quite chunky and substantial and this plugs into the monitor output of the computer at one end, and then into the socket at the back of the projector at its other end.

Advantages: Adjustible lens, compatible with DVD players, Playstation, Laptops etc
Disadvantages: None that i could think of

...The In focus LP640 Projector is brilliant. I purchased the product a year ago and it has never given me any problems that includes setting it up. It can be used with any movie playing technology e.g, Camcorders, DVD players, Laptops, Consoles etc. i personally use it to watch movies and play playstation 2,3 games on it. All in all it's a really good product in my opinion and if anyone is looking for a good projector for personal use i would definitely recommend this product. If you want a good tip to go with the product its a surround system of any type then you will have your own cinema in your own bedroom with bed side seat VIP.

There was no manual provided and information on the CD provided was scant.
