T&B Editor's choiceEditor's choice:
Mitsubishi XD50U


We couldn't go past the Mitsubishi XD50U as both our Scenario 1winner and Editor's Choice. It had it all, the PC Card slot for PC-free presentations, it weighed a light 1.5kg, it ranked as one of the brighter projectors, and its picture quality was excellent. Acer, Casio, and NEC also deserve mentions as they were all great projectors in their own right.

    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.

    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.
