InFocus LP335 Dragonfly Video Projector

Rating:
Summary: Best in the [price] range
Review: If you check out the reviews for LCD projectors, infocus products rarely surface. But you get a great bang for the buck here. The NEC LF140 has received rave reviews but if you look carefully, it is heavier than the LP335 and the intensity of its lamp is also lesser. Granted than the difference between 800 and 1000 lumens isn't that great (with the logarithmic nature of light intensity) but there will be a minor improvement in performance with the brighter lamp, particularly if you leave the lights on during the presentation. When push comes to shove and you compare the features, you might still be tempted to pick the NEC product for its "brand." If you yield to that temptation, you'll pay about $1500 more for a inferior feature set.

On the otherhand, the NEC Multisync VT540 is a decent buy. It has all that the dragonfly offers at a comparable price (it is about 3 lbs heavier but you get the MultiSync plug and forget functionality, which is comforting.)

If you want to save your biceps effort buy the dragonfly, else go for the NEC (reasons being the software and brand.)
