The current benchmark in portability is the It''s a tiny box, just 7 by 9 slide projector by 2 inches, and it weighs a mere three pounds. with an ultralight laptop like the you can be all set for that presentation for less than the weight, until very recently, of a projector alone. you''ll even have some extra space in your briefcase. 1,000 lumens. the remarkable thing about the lp 130 is you give up very little to gain ultra-portability. the projector is based on the instruments digital light processing system and puts out a very impressive 1,000 lumens. in plain projector english, that means it projects an image bright enough to be seen comfortably in a normally lit conference room. it can handle resolutions up to 1,024 x 768 pixels and features a zoom lens, which allows you to control the image size from a fixed projector location. in addition to computer input, the lp 130 can handle television inputs and two flavors of high-definition tv (720p and 1080i). one thing that''s not miniature about the lp 130: its $4,650 price. in the projector business, small and light still translate into expensive. one cautionary note about any projector: always allow the unit to cool completely before packing it up, and treat it at least as gently as you would a laptop. specifies the lamp life as 2,000 hours of use, but that can be shortened

is designed for portable use as well as fixed installation. there is an adequate handle that folds into the side of the unit and becomes almost invisible when not in use. yes, it is three pounds heavier than the, but if you need to put 2000 ansi lumens on the screen, three extra pounds is not much to complain about. activating the focus control puts an inadequate little target up in the middle of the screen, and if you don''t find the plus/minus buttons on the control panel or remote right away, it bulb + kodak slide projector disappears. the focus control leaves something to be desired. one must toggle back and forth almost constantly just to keep the focus function active and on the screen. the target projector is so small that it takes several passes through the sweet spot to find the ideal setting. in future products, we would like to see a little more thought put into focusing control. produces a very bright image with a gorgeous color palate. the soft array of colors in was rendered as beautifully as any digital projector we''ve ever seen in this price range. the vibrant colors in were reproduced with accuracy and slide balance.

your application if you are giving a training presentation, you will probably need a brighter projector so the participants can read detail and take notes. a presentation using graphics and/or video will be visually less demanding and can be viewed in a darkened room. your screen sufficient light reflection is provided in most screens on the market, thus making a low brightness projector look good in the right setting. the number of people the image size increases as the number of people in the room increases. projector this reduces the brightness of the projector since the light is spread over a larger area. another important thing to think about when buying slide a projector is the weight of the unit. if you travel quite a bit, you may want a very light weight unit. if you do not travel and want more features on the projector, you may opt for a heavier model. the four weight classes of projector are as follows: ultra-mobile ideal for the traveling presenter. typically weighing under 8 lbs, projector these machines provide a great low-weight-to-brightness ratio while maintaining the desired data resolution and video output. on the down side, some of the lightweight projectors sacrifice features such as power zoom, power focus, and remote control capabilities which can weigh the projector down.
