A matter of image: 11 projectors tested

INFOCUS LITEPRO LP70

The InFocus LitePro LP70 is a DLP based projector that weighs a mere 1.1kg--only the HP is lighter. The InFocus uses a low power 120W UHP lamp that can produce 1100 lumens, which is quite remarkable for such a small projector. The UHP lamp lasts for around 2000 hours and replacement lamps are $720. This means it will cost you $0.36 per hour to run--the least expensive of the projectors we looked at.

About RMIT Test Labs

The InFocus features a DVI connector and a DVI to RGB cable, just in case your notebook or PC doesn't support DVI.

In our tests, the InFocus appeared sharper than the HP but not as sharp as the Benq. Its contrast wasn't as good as the HP, but it sure didn't get as hot as the HP did.
