This projector is one of the cheapest projectors to offer SXGA and XGA (emulated) output. It's lightweight and thus portable, and many offers for it come with a free spare bulb, which normally retail for over £200 alone.

The projector comes complete with 2 remote controls - one of which is used to control presentations eg powerpoint. The 2nd remote controls power on etc.

One of the only downsides to this projector is the projector is manual focus - so if it's mounted on the ceiling it means standing on a chair to refocus it if needed.

Overall I'd say it was certainly value for money - I've bought 10 of these units and have yet to have one either fail or even need a new bulb. They power up in under a minute and when turned off, the fan cools the bulb in under 5 mins, and you can pack up the projector (if used as a portable) in under 20 minutes.

Please give some more information. The cost, the utilities of the machine. Can a sky box cable be connected? What kind of background can this display be on? Does the room have to be dark to see the display clearly? Can a DVD/CD/ Video Player be connected to this??? Please include as much info as possible and drop a message to me. I shall up my rating level. Chanu
