A matter of image: 11 projectors tested

TOSHIBA TLP-B2 ULTRA

The Toshiba TLP-B2 Ultra is priced just over $7000, making it one of the most expensive projectors we looked at. We were a little disappointed with what you actually get for the money. Like most of the projectors it handles XGA resolution (1024 x 768), but its brightness rating of 1250 ANSI Lumens is a little on the dim side. It features a 125W UHP lamp, which is very expensive to replace, but you only have to replace it every 2000 hours. Despite being quite large, it doesn't feature any more connectors than some of the smallest projectors.

About RMIT Test Labs

In testing, the Toshiba offered good contrast but was one of the least bright projectors. On the plus side, there wasn't much variation in brightness across the test screen, but this was common with most of the less bright projectors.
