Projectors have shrunk both in size and price; This unit is the perfect example.

The Ultra-portable InFocus LP70+ is less than $1900. It boasts 1,400 lumens, 4,000 hour lamp, VGA (1024 x 768) resolution, 2.4 lbs, 2.58 x 6.1 x 7.8 (90% of the size of a cigar box), keystone correction of 15 degrees, 22.2' max image size, 1 watt built-in speaker, 120-240 volts, 1100:1 contrast and a 2 year warranty.

When ordered through Amazon.com/JR Music World, there is a $50 discount and no sales tax (outside of NY) for a savings of nearly $200. Total price before shipping: $1,873.33.

InFocus and other manufacturers have other even smaller models but they are not as bright. The LP 70+ provide the most bang for the buck. You can find less-expensive projectors ($799, $899) but they will be SVGA (800 x 600) resolution (fuzzy).

Many hotels charge $500/day for LCD projectors. Meeting planners will love to hear you can supply your own projection equipment.

I have used a Proxima x350 for the past three years. It is a great projector but the LP 70+ is much brighter and much smaller. I use my projector four to five times a week; I fly 4,000 miles/week. Weight and volume are major issues. The LP 70+ is more than a pound lighter and significantly smaller. Whether you are designing parachutes or carrying luggage, weight and volume are of great concern. Search for the smallest and lightest equipment.

I love the LP 70+; you will too.

I work in the AV department of a large company. We no longer allow our employees to purchase InFocus projectors. We had a 17% failure rate. We purchased approximately 850 LP70+ projectors in the last 14 months. I still receive at least 5 a week that need to be sent in for repair to InFocus. Most are dead on arrival. InFocus claims they got a bad shipment of power supplies which affects SN range ANEN511XXXXX to ANEN535XXXXX. We have found this range to be false. Once past 30 days InFocus will not refund and will issue a like new unit, unless you are willing to wait 4-6 for repair. Spend your money on a Panasonic projector, We have over 3000 in service. I've had only 2 go down. They are brighter and more durable than comparable models from different manufacturers. DON'T BUY InFocus.

I use it with my PowerBook G4 and the DVI-D cable. It is very bright and sharp. It is very small.

The color accuracy is not so good. For example, pure yellow looks a bit green.

For a portable projector the LP70+ is outstanding. I perform presentations in daylight illuminated rooms without problem. The zoom barrel gives great flexibility in positioning the projector. The size and weight is marvelous, it fits into my old leather briefcase with my Thinkpad, a book and documents, noisecanceling headphones and travel documents, all you need when you are on the road.

It is easy to use, specially easy to shut down. Many lamps have been burned because of improper shut down. You can power on and down the projector and control most features from your PC through the Projector Manager Software, nice!

Color is not great, but unless you sell artwork it is more than enough for presentations. I also use it regularly to see photographs at home with my family and friends.

1024x768 native resolution is great!

I bought this projector for business presentations. It is very small and light weight. The first one I had failed immediately. The power supply was bad. I sent it to the repair facility in Louisville, KY. After a month they were still waiting for parts so they replaced it. The second time I used the new one it went dark midway through a presentation. It worked fine after I let it cool off. I really like the small size and power of the unit. I just hope that mine is an isolated case.

This is a great little projects if you travel. I use it teaching classes at my university as a backup when the room projector doesn't work. It's so portable you don't mind throwing it in your case with your laptop. On the road I take it even when there is supposed to be a projector, for those cases when the site projector is old or on the fritz.

I love to play Halo on this thing, the quality of the video is almost as good as my 50 inch LCD, but with the convenience of being able to play much larger sized video!

Also, very lightweight, small and portable therefore making it very practical for presentations when I'm on the road.

This InFocus LP70+ is a very impressive projector. Presentation and preception are essential to a professional.

I had to always carry around speakers when I needed sound, which defeated the purpose of the small size of this unit. I have had good luck with it for about two years, but it did fail fully and finally the other day. Used in many locations with good luck until then, but the leg is weak and not easy to make horzontal, and it was broken off in a tiny move by someone else moving my projector.

Recommended for visual use (PowerPoint, Keynote) but not for items with sound on the road.

I have had this unit in for repairs 4 time now, in the past year. Save your money buy another unit not this one.
