"Budget Projectors"

Issue: 7/2007

On test: Toshiba TLP-X2000, Optoma EP719R, BenQ MP721c, InFocus IN26+

There's nothing like a projector to give focus to a meeting. A bright, colourful presentation can make your message memorable, and nowadays high-quality data projectors can be very affordable. For this Labs we've focused on XGA prjectors - that is, 1,024 x 768. This resolution may not be ideal for home cinema, as it gives a 4:3 resolution rather than the wdiescreen 16:9 ratio used by many films and now mandated by the HD video specification, but it's perfect for office use, producing crisp text and detailed images. We've also restricted entries to projectors priced at around the £500 mark, and prefereably below it. Naturally, therefore, these aren't the the most richly featured projectors on the market. → More
