ViewSonic PJD5112 SVGA Multimedia Projector

The Viewsonic PJD5112 is described by its manufacturer as a "light, bright and portable projector" and we have to agree. It's light at just 5.7 pounds and it's certainly bright with an output of 2600 lumens at a 2000:1 contrast ratio. It measures just 11 x 4.5 x 8.6 inches so it's definitely portable.

But it's the features they've managed to pack into that light and portable package that makes the PJD5112 so impressive. It uses the renowned Texas Instruments Digital Light Processor Digital Micromirror Device (DLP DMD) with an innovation TI calls BrilliantColor for its display panel, the part that creates the image.

Those millions of microscopic mirrors operate so fast that they can project one image for each eye, making 3-D in your home and office a reality. You bring the 3-D glasses and programming. Your projector is ready to bring you everything from fantastic scientific visualizations to stunning 3-D movies.

In addition to 3-D the PJD5112 does a great job with all kinds of images. It can project in NTSC, NTSC 4.43, and PAL types B, D, G, H, I, M, N, and 60. Of course it does several standard and enhanced definition modes and 720p and 1080i high definition. It's also both PC and Macintosh compatible (you may require an adapter for the Mac).

If you're looking for a power-packed portable at a palatable price point the PJD5112 may be just the projector you need.
