LCD Projector Reviews
Here you can find all our LCD projector reviews. We've tried to cover the best projectors in each price range.
Apart from price distinctions LCD projectors fall into two main categories. Projectors with a native widescreen 16:9 resolution (such as the Sanyo's) and projectors with a native 4:3 or computer screen resolution.
Native widescreen projectors obviously give better widescreen performance and would suit home theatre applications where you would watch a lot of movie material. Obviously the native 4:3 projectors are better for computer games and regular format viewing.
Both of these projector types can handle widescreen and normal inputs but we'd advise you to buy the projector type that suits your needs.

The Dell 2200MP LCD projector was designed with board room presentations in mind but will suit home theatre enthusiasts with it's low price, running costs and impressive performance.
Toshiba TLP-S10U LCD projector
The Toshiba TLP-S10U is a low cost LCD projector represents good value for presentations but really does slip behind the competition when it comes to image quality in DVD movies. If you need a solid reliable LCD projector and aren't planning on using it for home theatre then the Toshiba TLP-S10U is worth a look.

Sony VPL-HS10 Cineza LCD projector
The Sony VPL-HS10 Cineza widescreen is a very high quality WXGA LCD projector. Costing under $2500 this projector doesn't come cheap but the performance is very good especially when viewing widescreen DVD movies.

The Sanyo PLV-70 native widescreen LCD projector is a top class model offering fantastic picture quality for home theatre applications. Of course it also has a large price tag but recent price drops have put it into the realms of affordability for home use.
Toshiba TDP-MT500 LCD projector
The Toshiba TDP-MT500 is a high end DLP based LCD projector. Unfortunately this display only supports 1024x576 resolution and NOT native 1024 by 768. This means that for widescreen movies it looks great but for XGA computer presentations it looks bad.
NEC LT240K LCD projector
The NEC LT240K is a DLP based XGA LCD projector. This is basically a business projector that performs very well as a home theatre projector. The NEC LT240K has a very nice 2000:1 contrast ratio but does not have a native 16:9 format which may or may not appeal to you.
