Panasonic PT-L735NTE
Panasonic is a serious player in this area. You only have to check out its Web site to see the huge range of projectors it has on offer. This time around Panasonic sent us the PT-L735NTB, which is an ultraportable wireless LCD projector.
It’s rated at 2600 ANSI lumens and has a contrast ratio of only 300:1 making it the lowest in terms of contrast.
It has wireless capabilities and features a SD card slot so you can store your presentation on memory cards and present without a PC. It also comes with all the standard connectors but there’s no DVI or component video.
Despite it having a low contrast rating, it didn’t cause us too much of a problem. When we turned up the contrast, we were able to project quite a pleasant image.
This projector is designed for large boardrooms. From five metres we couldn’t get the projected image to fit properly on our 110in screen—we had to move the projector closer to the screen. Like we did on the Epson, we then moved this projector back five metres from the screen to ensure the testing was consistent.

Dear Sir,
Just to clarify the review of the XL30U. Contrast ratio is actually 500:1 and the product has a RRP of $8490.
Could we please have this amended.
