...look at would be the Sharp PG-M10S XGA LCD Projector. The Unit runs at 800 ANSI lumens which makes the model very bright (as witj several models it is best to let the unit warm up for a minute or two to get the best brightness.) It can be used with more than one input device Ie Video and Laptop, supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM, and has a very basic speaker built in to provide adquate but not great sound playback. The unit also comes complete with ...
...control unit (supplied) which can be used as a full function mouse. The working of it takes a little getting used to but once mastered proves invaluable. We payed £2000+VAT for the unit after shopping around (original price of £2700+VAT quoted) and the have found it excellent value for money. The main deciding factor of the purchase for us was the size and weight as the unit will be travelling a lot. (Plus the fact you can also use a laptop lock ... Read review

Advantages: light portable and nice and bright.
Disadvantages: price

...purchasing this model - the Hitachi CP-S225. Below I will note its advantages and disadvantages and other important details. This is a good looking model with 1000 ANSI Lumens with a short throw lense, lamp with a 2000 hour lamp life, Digital keystone correction and it only weighs 2.4 kilo's. The education price for this model was £1695 but I would expect it to be a little more at business price. The advantages of this machine are as follows: ...
...a projector in my opinion. 2. WEIGHT - at only 2.4 kilos this model is easily portable and easy to store. It's dimensions are only 298mm(W) * 60mm(H) * 210mm(D) 3. The lamp lasts 2000 hours and can be turned off and moved to another location within one minute without damaging the bulb. (Unlike another projector we previously purchased - model ASK C2) It is a 130w UHB bulb. 4. It's short throw lens allows for tight situations yet it still produces ... Read review

Advantages: quiet, horizontal AND vertical keystone adjustment
Disadvantages: no gamma correction facility, low output

...home cinema projectors so unsurprisingly Sony have stripped the features to the minimum; the connectivity of the machine is pretty frugal, for example it has no component input and other technical specification prove that in all essence it’s a rather basic piece of kit with 800 x 600 pixels and 800ANSI Lumens brightness (for the non-techies out there this is quite low although sufficient for a projector). ~~~FEATURES AND SETUP~~~ Although essentially ...
...picture quality in my opinion. Sony have obviously prioritised correctly with this piece of kit because naturally with any projector the key is to have a high picture quality. This machine has three LCD panels fitted to improve colour accuracy and it uses high quality optics. If you’ve got a suitably-equipped DVD player the VPL is also able to display a progressive scan image which a lot of the earlier models don’t. Setting up the unit is very straightforward, ...

Advantages: Large imege from short distances
Disadvantages: expensive , lack of lens Zoom and lack of horizontal keystone

Ive just got the benq mp771 and i must say I am really disappointed with it , even though it has the capability of projecting large images in very small spaces it lacks from some basic features that every projector of this price should have , It also fails in recognizing signals from apple computers and you have to connect and disconnect VGA cable every time you want to project a VGA signal. I include the number of features this projector doesn't ...
...perfectly in angle. The benq mp771 DOSENT have a manual zoom, it only have manual focus in its lens, so it needs to be located exactly in a certain distance to fill your screen perfectly, that is a problem when you want to fit perfectly the image into a screen and you are planing some fiscal place to put the projector. The digital zoom only ZOOMS IN , what if I need a little more distance for the fiscal conditions to place the projector , why cant ... Read review

Advantages: Works in relatively bright conditions, quiet
Disadvantages: unreliable, very big, short bulb life

I have been using the Panasonic PT AX 100E as my main TV for just over a year now. The picture quality is extremely good in a dark room and quite watchable during the day even with the curtains open for all but the darkest movies. In bright conditions the colours can become a little washed-out although there are various viewing options on the remote control to compensate a little. For some very dark films however you should wait until the room can ... Read review
