| 451876 | 2006-05-03 22:08:00 | Hi all, the managing partner at our firm has finally given the go ahead to purchase a projector for work. ( I was getting tired of bringing my one in from home). Now I dont think we need anything too flash, XGA at least, quiet & portable are probably the foremost requisites. We of course mainly be using with our laptop for presentations, so will need good brightness and contrast, and I reckon to boss may abscond with it during the weekend for a bit of home use! Does anybody have any knowledge of models to avoid or know and love etc Ta all |

I have seen a Canon LCOS projector, which was only 2500 Ansi Lumens, against a 3000 ansi lumens projector and the picture of the LCOS was much brighter and text was much sharper and easier to read. Not sure if Canon have released their full LCOS range yet so there may be only one model at the moment and it's not cheap. |

| 451881 | 2006-05-04 05:01:00 | Check out the latest PC World. There is a Panasonic PT-P1SD reviewed which gets a review rating of 9.5. RRP of $1699. LCD projector. And it's small at 234 x 188 x 65mm and 1.3kg. If you have the mag lying around check it out. I know that I am buying the Panasonic PT-AE900 for my home theatre setup as it consistently gets rave reviews. Obviously Panasonic know what they are doing in this area. :2cents: |

| 451882 | 2006-05-04 07:09:00 | I was speaking to a guy today in Auckland, who naturally sells projectors, and he claims new design current DLP are just as crisp and bright as LCD projectors. Anyway, his recommendation for a business professional projector is a BenQ MP720, IO think he called it. 2000 lumens, 2000:1 contrast, yes thats right, 2000:1. The 2 most important factors for daytime projection apparently. DLP lamp life is usually better too. About $3k he said, so awaiting his e-mal. Will let you know how i get on with any purchase just in case anyone interested |
