About RMIT Test Labs

Company: Burgess Development

This company wants to equip its sales staff with data projectors to take with them on sales calls to clients. Sales staff have been complaining about the weight of all the gear they have to carry around with them.

Approximate budget: $6000 per projector

Requires: Five projectors weighing less than 3kg each.

Concerns: Weight is the primary concern, because sales staff are out on the road a lot. The ability to store presentations on CardBus or CompactFlash cards would be a big bonus. 1024 x 768 resolution preferred.

Best solution: If weight is the major concern, the Infocus would be your best bet. For best overall value, we'd recommend the Sony VPL-CX5. It was brighter than most and it can save you time setting up by being able to do some nifty things like automatically adjust the keystone for you and raise the height of the projector to where it was before it was powered off. It was also one of the sharpest projectors and it was well priced.
