NEC LT245G

This NEC LT245G was the brightest projector in our test and also the largest, weighing in at 3.2kg. It has a powerful 220W lamp that can run for approximately 2000 hours in standard mode and 4000 eco mode.

There are loads of connectors on the back of this projector, too many to mention (see Specifications table). It also has a carry handle that swings out from the projector.

The LT245G has a great menu system with loads of adjustments and it has a nifty lamp usage bar that tells you in percentages how much life you have left in your lamp.

The LT245G display was razor sharp, extremely bright, and the colours were strikingly vivid. If you don't mind carrying a bit more weight with you then this may be what you have been waiting for.

    Interesting and helpful articl ...Anonymous -- 22/12/04

    Interesting and helpful article. I am interested in finding more information on the wireless projectors that use the 802.11b or g. What are folks saying about them. Are they cost effective?

    Dell data projectors kevin bell -- 15/12/05

    I noticed that in your reviews over the last few years, there isn't any reviews of the dell range of data projectors and more recently, the dell 3400mp. Is there a reason for this (?), as I notice that other sites seem to review their products?

    In your article, you have confused weight with mass. This is a common mistake. Mass is the amount of material in an object. A 1 kg book on earth is a 1 kg book on the moon, though its weight (in Newtons) is considerably less. F=MA.

    Thank you so much J. MacMillan, I am setting up a projector system for use on the moon, and on other planets, so your comment about the difference between mass and weight was of great relevence to me.

    Sharp XR-1X Review Error? Anonymous -- 31/05/06

    In the review for the Sharp XR-1X it reads “The Sharp is rated 100 ANSI lumens” - I think there may be a "0" missing there.

    Thankyou Anonymous -- 10/12/07

    I needed to source a new data projector and knowing nothing about them I found this site extremely helpful. What a terrific idea and so very helpful - thankyou.
