Slightly over budget and over-specified to fit within last month’s budget projector roundup, the Casio XJ-360 is a very compact and very capable projector that may just be worth those extra dollars.

Sony's first Cineza, the VPLHS1, was an innovative projector: it featured 'sideshot', horizontal as well as vertical keystone correction which meant it was the first projector that could be placed in the corner of a room, and still project a perfectly rectangular image in the centre of a wall.

For those in the business of presentations the data projector runs hand in hand as a tool of the trade almost as important as the notebook computer.

There are many things that are given the 'instant' moniker, but usually products from the IT world are not among their number. Slow PC boot times (whatever happened to instant-on PCs?) and a whole mess of configurations takes the instant gratification out of most technology...

A wonderful high-end projector, with support for DisplayLink technology

Hot on the heels of last month’s sub- $2500 projector roundup is HP’s new vp6315.

Panasonic's new business projector, the PT-LB10NTE is a stunning little unit for its price and size. It features a bright 2000 ANSI lumens rating - powerful enough that the projection is clearly legible even with the fluorescent boardroom lights on, and a wide 500:1 contrast ratio.

The Dell 1100MP is a data projector for the most part, but was submitted by Dell for this review with the home theatre projectors.

If you want big, bright, cheap images, check this Benq projector out.

The utilitarian looking InFocus ScreenPlay 4805 is a very capable home theatre projector, provided that you’re looking for a projector mainly for home theatre use.

Whenever PC Authority reviews a data projector, we try it out with DVDs and games, and we test entertainment projectors with PCs just to see how they handle applications other than those they’re specifically designed for.

It's a shame this isn't cheaper: a fine projector if you're prepared to pay a premium for Full HD

Running costs are high, but with a high resolution and superb performance, it’s a groundbreaking product.

The FF1 is well featured and comes with some useful accessories. Picture quality isn’t perfect, but it still has a range of practical uses.

The brand new HC100 from Mitsubishi Electric is a more traditional looking home theatre projector with a centremounted lens, and curved lines.

The PE5120 from BenQ is a native widescreen projector, and while it’s happiest displaying DVDs and home theatre inputs it also performed well with desktop and text projection.

Plus Corporation's U4 136Z projector is a fairly small unit measuring just 53 x 190 x 239mm and weighing only 1.5kg, and while it can be held easily in one hand its got the goodies where it counts.

Before we even delve into this projector's specs, the most important and standout metric with the EMP-S1 is its extremely humble $1,999 price tag, which when compared to the usual $5-10K standard for home cinema, puts the EMP-S1 well within reach of people for whom home video projection was merely a dream.

Image projection is more affordable now than ever. With prices dropping and quality increasing...

The Toshiba e740 (review on the PC Authority Web site) boasted great features such as Type II CF and SD/MMC card slots, and the optional expansion pack which includes a VGA output and USB port, allowing the connection of a keyboard and a projector. The e750 goes two steps further. You can now send 16-bit colour to a projector at a resolution of 800 x 600, and this WiFi version connects wirelessly to a suitably equipped Toshiba projector. Another WiFi enhancement is support for Voice-over-IP with an enhanced microphone socket so a microphone headset can be used.
