Small, lightweight design, Sharp and steady image, Full-featured remote control, Wide aspect ratio, Fast cool-down time

Confusing brightness modes, Contrast a bit low

If you're looking for a widescreen projector that travels well, the Optoma EW330-which can be found for as low as $899 online-is a great choice. It's light enough to go anywhere, and bright enough to handle most rooms. Our Editors' Choice pick in this ...

Small, lightweight, Very good brightness and image quality, Widescreen aspect ratio, Quick shutdown

Lacks USB cable, Poorly labeled remote control

The Dell M409WX represents a truly impressive combination of portability, affordability, solid image quality and widescreen resolution. On the downside, some default settings seem to hide some of this projector's best features. Once presenters replace ...

Exceptionally mobile, Excellent image quality, Slots for SD Cards and USB flash memory drives

Relatively dim image, Sometimes noisy cooling fan, Hard to find power switch

Overall, the Toshiba TDP-F10U is a good value for those who want to travel light. It beams out a steady, high-quality picture; it's powerful enough for most small business venues (with the lights turned down a bit); and its ability to go laptop-free ...

This portable projector combines good power and XGA resolution with a very attractive price.

Sharp, bright images, Detachable remote, Long-life, low-cost lamp, Low price

Relatively small image size, Slow cooldown time

All in all, the NEC NP200 does a great job with typical presentations at a very attractive price. And thanks to its XGA resolution, it also deftly handles HDTV images. When you factor in its amazingly low consumable cost and its two-year warranty, you ...

This budget projector beams out bright, rich colors and rock-steady images.

Inexpensive, Bright for its price, Good colors, Very steady, flicker-free images, Quick cooldown time

No optical zoom, Somewhat heavy

Like any budget model, the $549 Epson EX30 is not quite perfect. In fact, the NEC NP100 offers even greater performance for the dollar, but if you want the rich colors of an LCD projector and a super-steady image for a budget price, the EX30 should be ...

This tiny projector shines with high brightness and contrast, but it has a few flaws.

Lightweight, Very bright for its size, Excellent contrast, Three-year warranty

Limited remote control functionality, Hard to focus, Noisy cooling fan, Long cooldown time

Finally, in an age of instant-cooldown projectors, the XD95U moves at a decidedly glacial pace. Warming up took 41 seconds and no less than a minute and a half to cool down. However, when we searched through the on-screen menu and enable the Quick ...

The easy-to-use NEC NP61 sets a new brightness record for ultraportable projectors.

Very bright while relatively lightweight, Automatic focus and keystone correction, Fast warm-up and cooldown times, Long lamp warranty, Fan continues even if AC plug is pulled accidentally

Some remote control buttons require optional component, Small speaker, Noisy cooling fan

This tiny Optoma model may be the most expensive and unusual iPod accessory to date.

Extremely small and light, Connects directly to many iPods, Rendered yellows well

Dim compared to traditional projectors, Does not connect to most laptops

The $399 Optoma PK-101 Pico Pocket Projector is an amazing engineering accomplishment, something we might not even have dreamed of ten years ago. But, as was the case with the similar 3M MPro110, this may be a technology in rapid transition

Extremely small and light, Can run on an internal battery

Extremely dim, Low resolution, Hard to focus, Gets very warm

Despite the "Pro" in this device's name, it is clearly not appropriate for business use. In fact, the only possible use that we can envision is as a mobile projector for movies stored on an iPod. But even that is problematic: The internal battery ...

This ultra-thin DLP projector produces a bright and colorful image along with plenty of bells and whistles.

Huge image size, Remarkably good color accuracy, Very bright, Electric zoom and focus, USB connector enables â ; euro ; oelig ; laptop-lessâ ; euro ; slideshows

Lacks laser pointer and mouse-emulation buttons, Relatively expensive
