NEC LT157
The NEC LT157 is an LCD-based projector rated at 1500 ANSI lumens. On paper, this suggests the
projector would be quite bright, however this wasn't the case. It features a 130W NSH lamp that has a lifespan of 1500 Hours- a little on the low side. This also makes it quite expensive to run, considering the replacement cost of the lamp is just as high as some of the longer lasting lamps.
One of the the most impressive features of the NEC is the PCF Card slot. This allows you to insert flash memory cards (or PC card hard drives) so you can run slide shows directly from the projector without the need of a notebook or PC.
The NEC's contrast was very good, but most of the test patterns appeared a little too dull for our liking. We found out later that this projector had racked up quite a few hours of use before it was submittd to us for testing, which most likely would have contributed to its poor performance.
