Most, if not all projectors, are extremely expensive devices which will require careful shopping when you pick one up for either home or office use. Lumenlab has developed a projector that uses a $30 lamp that lasts more than an amazing 6,000 hours. It comes with a single 7" LCD panel and uses a 150W double-ended HQI lamp, which outlasts other conventional lamps by more than double, while costing several hundred dollars with each replacement. The projector comes in a very small footprint and ships with a remote control, various inputs options (RGB, PAL, NTSC, HDTV), an integrated TV tuner, a widescreen aspect ratio, manual focus adjustment, component, AV, S-Video, TV and VGA inputs,
keystone correction of up to 15 degrees, built-in speakers, and automatic fan shutdown. There are several drawbacks, including a rather low native resolution of 854 x 480 (maximum resolution of 1024 x 768), a relatively low contrast ratio of 600 to 1, and a brightness of only 1,000 ANSI lumens. The price to pay? A mere $499.Pros : Cheap lamp replacement, lamp has long life
Cons : Low resolution
