$1299 is well priced for a projector, and despite the PD100's drawbacks, it performs exceptionally well as an all purpose business projector.

The Viewsonic PJ551 is a model that targets the budget-conscious consumer, and it performs solidly. It may not have class-leading specifications, but for the price it's definitely a good choice.

The DX130 produces a bright image with strong colours for a portable projector. However, it is hampered slightly by the DLP 'rainbow effect' and its noisy fan.

A great combination of portability and functionality, the Panasonic PT-LB51E is an attractive option for businesses looking for a lightweight and easy to use projector.

The PJ358 doesn't have the best performance on the market but it remains a fairly good projector considering its price tag.

If you are in the market for a good all-round portable projector, the Viewsonic PJ258D will certainly fit the bill.

Acer's P1265 is large and heavy when compared to other portable models, but has impressive brightness and image quality.

The XD110U is suitable for computer users on a budget who are looking for portability, a bright lamp and low running costs.

There are smaller and lighter portable projectors available. If you want a model that's able to reproduce colours well and give great presentations, the PGF312X will fit the bill.

If you have to lug a projector from meeting to meeting all day, HP's sb21 Digital Projector is a great bet, due to its diminutive size and presentation functions.

For a model that's marginally portable the Sanyo PLC-XU105 produces an incredibly bright picture. It doesn't display the richest and most colourful pictures, however.
