Panasonic PT-LB10NTE

Panasonic's PT-LB10NTE is an ultra-portable wireless LCD projector. It's rated at 2500 ANSI lumens and has a contrast ratio of only 400:1. It has wireless capabilities and standard video and audio connectors. The menu buttons are located in an unusual position at the rear and the projector -- they are also difficult to use because they are so small.

One of the nice features is the index window. What this function does is split the screen into two and allows you to use the left-hand screen as your index screen and the right-hand screen as your work area. The shutter or blank function is also a handy function when giving presentations.

Picture quality wasn't bad but it did appear a little fuzzy up close. There were no complaints about contrast or brightness -- both were very good.

    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.
