Epson PowerLite 1761W

Light WXGA projector for portable presentations

Epson identifies the 1761W as a 3.7 lb portable WXGA 3LCD projector with a 1.04–1.26 throw range, optical zoom, wireless presentation, and separate 2,600 color-lumen and 2,600 white-lumen figures. Epson does not label those figures ANSI, and the lamp-powered unit is portable to carry but is not established as battery operated.

ViewSonic PX701HD

Full HD home projector with conventional zoom placement

ViewSonic lists native 1920 × 1080 resolution, 3,500 ANSI lumens, a 1.5–1.65:1 throw, 1.1× optical zoom, two HDMI ports, and a 10 W speaker. Its vertical image adjustment is digital rather than optical lens shift, so room geometry still matters.

Sony VPL-HW10

Full HD SXRD home theater with manual lens shift

Sony’s archived VPL-HW10 page documents three SXRD panels totaling a 1920 × 1080 pixel image, a manual 1.6× zoom lens, horizontal and vertical manual shift, and a 200 W mercury lamp. The stated maximum output is 1,000 lumens without an ANSI method, so ANSI brightness remains unknown.

BenQ W1070

Full HD DLP home projector with short conventional throw

BenQ’s W1070 sheet specifies native 1080p DLP imaging, 2,000 ANSI lumens, a 1.15–1.5:1 throw, 1.3× optical zoom, and a small vertical lens-shift range. It is a lamp-based fixed-room model with two HDMI inputs and a 10 W speaker, not a streaming-app or battery projector.

SANYO PLC-WXU30

High-output WXGA presentation projector with optical zoom

SANYO’s PLC-WXU30 sheet specifies native WXGA 3LCD imaging, 3,700 ANSI lumens, a 1.16–1.86:1 throw, and manual 1.6× zoom. It also lists wired legacy inputs, a card slot, network ports, and a 1 W mono speaker, making source compatibility and lamp condition central for this older unit.

BenQ MP721c

Compact XGA business projector with legacy connections

BenQ’s shared MP721/MP721c manual identifies a 1024 × 768 XGA DLP system, a 200 W lamp, VGA and DVI-A computer connections, analog video inputs, and a 2 W mono speaker. The manual does not provide an MP721c-specific ANSI brightness figure, so that comparison value remains unknown.

ViewSonic PJD6352

High-output XGA meeting projector with two HDMI ports

ViewSonic specifies native XGA, 3,500 ANSI lumens, a conventional 1.51–1.97:1 throw, 1.3× optical zoom, two HDMI inputs, and a 10 W speaker. Optional wireless presentation needs the separate accessory, while native detail remains below WXGA and Full HD.

Legacy XGA meeting projector with dual computer inputs

The InFocus-authored IN2100 sheet identifies the IN2104 as a native XGA DLP model and lists 2,500 normal-mode lumens, 1.1× zoom, a conventional 1.97–2.16:1 throw, dual computer inputs, and RS-232. Its lumen figure is not labeled ANSI, and current sources may need adapters.

Epson PowerLite 2255U

WUXGA meeting projector with separately stated color and white output

Epson documents native WUXGA, 5,000 color and white lumens, manual optical zoom and dual HDMI for the PowerLite 2255U. Its output is not labeled ANSI, and published throw-ratio details conflict, so check placement against the exact manual.

Dell S300 Short-Throw Projector

Fixed short-throw WXGA projector for an older meeting room

Dell documents a fixed 0.521:1 lens, native WXGA and 2,200 ANSI lumens for the S300. Its short throw can help when the projector must sit near the screen, but lamp-era inputs and resolution make room and source checks important.

ASUS P1 Portable LED Projector

Very light WXGA LED projector for dim-room travel

ASUS documents the P1 as a 415 g portable LED projector with native WXGA and 200 ANSI lumens. It uses an AC adapter and a fixed lens with a combined 30-pin analog connection, so portability does not mean battery use or modern HDMI convenience.

4K UHD UST laser home-theater model with 2,000 ANSI lumens

Paris Rhône documents the LT002 as a 4K UHD laser projector with 2,000 ANSI lumens and 0.233:1 ultra-short throw. The exact native imaging method and app support remain unresolved, but its close-wall geometry is a clear home-theater selection criterion.

Small-image LED game projector with legacy and local-media inputs

Pyle identifies the PRJG42 as an LED video-game projector with 320 × 240 native resolution and a 40-lumen figure whose method is not stated. Its small image range and composite, USB, and SD inputs suit a very limited dark-room game or media setup, not detailed home cinema.

Battery-powered native Full HD projector with a 150 ANSI-lumen rating

Heyup documents Boxe with native 1080p, a built-in 7,800 mAh battery, and up to 150 ANSI lumens. Its battery supports outlet-free placement, but the modest stated output points to dark-room use and the saved sources do not establish runtime or current app support.

Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8700 UB 1080p 3LCD Projector

Full HD home-theater projector with manual zoom and generous lens shift

Epson's 8700 UB combines native 1920 × 1080 resolution, manual 2.1× zoom, substantial lens shift, and two HDMI inputs. Epson's 1,600 color and white lumen figures are not ANSI ratings, and its discontinued status makes lamp hours and condition of a specific used unit important.

Mitsubishi's PK20 is a 500 g DLP pocket projector with native 800 × 600 resolution and a 25-lumen figure whose method is not identified. It can use an optional external rechargeable pack, but its very low output and small image range make it a dark-room personal projector rather than a bright portable presentation tool.

Lightweight SVGA presentation projector with an explicit 2,000 ANSI-lumen rating

Epson identifies the PowerLite 62c as an SVGA 3LCD projector with 2,000 ANSI lumens, 1.0–1.2× optical zoom, and a 5.9 lb body. Its VGA/component, composite, and S-Video connections suit older classroom or board-room sources but do not include HDMI.
