This projector would be recommended for medium-to-large conference rooms if it wasn't for its very noticeable rainbow effect. While there may be some lucky individuals who don't see it, everyone we showed it to did see it. It makes the image completely unwatchable.

Despite its average picture quality in our tests, the X1160 is a suitable projector for the business person who frequently goes on the road to give presentations, or for the user who wants an inexpensive big-screen for a home theatre setup.

Business users who are more concerned with portability than performance will probably like this projector, however this unit doesn't really stand out from the crowd.

BenQ's PB-6110 projector offers high brightness and contrast levels, and while it offers good all-round performance, the 4:3 aspect ratio makes it better for presentations than watching movies.

Dell’s M209X is light, well-priced and has a high brightness level. If you can look past the fiddly remote, it’s a great portable data projector.

A solid business projector, the EMP-822's size means it isn't suitable for those regularly on the road, but it provides good quality images and backs them up with LAN support.

Epson’s W6 projector is a model that is great for projecting images from a widescreen notebook in the office, as well as for occasional home theatre use.

The EMP-S3 provides a huge, bright image for a relatively low price.

This isn't a brilliant projector by any means, but with a little patience, it will perform well enough for most users at a competitive price.

The InFocus Work Big IN26 is a good all-round projector that can handle a wide range of sources and has above average image quality. If you are in the market for an attractive unit with good performance, you should give this model a look.

For the extra cost, the small increase in brightness is not enough reason to purchase the IN26+ over the regular IN26.

A cheap purchase if you don't mind the noise.
