The versatile Sony CX76 offers advanced features and good image quality at a premium price.

A great performing projector, suitable for both the office as well as home PC projection.

An expensive under performer.

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

The Toshiba is a high-calibre product and perfect if you prize image quality above all else.

The TDP-S25 improves on its S20 predecessor, but still lags behind competitors.

Great colour reproduction and an inexpensive, portable package allow the ViewSonic PJ402D to serve as both a presentation and home theatre projector, albeit in a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Sony's VPLES2 produces bright images, though the lens slightly distorts the image at the corners.

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.

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