Epson PowerLite 1775W

Best business projector overall

*Est. $1,150
Estimated Price

The Epson PowerLite 1775W proves that good things do come in small packages, reviewers say. Roughly equal to a netbook in size and weighing less than four pounds, the PowerLite 1775W is easy to travel with, but its features and video compete with the best full-sized portable projectors. Reviewers grant kudos to the Epson projector's picture quality -- with highest honors paid to its brightness, an important consideration for well-lit meeting rooms. Ease of use is top-notch as well, and wireless linkage eliminates the typical mess of cables between the projector and laptop. Drawbacks are few, but include a noisy fan and audio quality that, like most portable projectors, is less than stellar.

Vivitek D511
Vivitek D511

Value business projector

*Est. $475
Estimated Price

Experts say the Vivitek D511 is an excellent choice when price is as important as performance. Brightness is more than sufficient to deliver clear, sharp pictures in a small conference room. Setting up the projector can take awhile, but picture quality is very good, with great colors and enough contrast to make things really pop. The feature set includes the ability to display 3D images, though most business users won't find that very useful. On the downside, speaker performance is lackluster and the small remote has a limited range. Some users have build quality concerns.

BenQ Joybee GP1
BenQ Joybee GP1

Best micro-portable projector

*Est. $380
Estimated Price

Don't let the low 100-lumen brightness rating of the 1.4-pound BenQ Joybee GP1 steer you away from this micro-portable digital projector. The Joybee GP1 can deliver a sharp, bright, 60-inch image in a normally lit, average-size room. Darken the room, and you can increase image size to up to 80 inches diagonally. Those who want to leave their laptop at home will appreciate that the GP1 can read and display a variety of graphics and video files directly from a connected USB drive, though audio support for some video files is limited. Some users take issue with color performance, but even the harshest critics say that, on balance, it's good enough for most uses.

Optoma PK301
Optoma PK301

Best pico projector

*Est. $380
Estimated Price

The Optoma PK301 pico projector offers a bright, clear, beautifully color-balanced picture in a teeny-tiny package, reviewers write, though it is pricier than competing pico projectors. Focusing images is easy, and the PK301 offers many types of inputs, unusual among pico projectors. Like most, it lacks zoom control, so to make your picture larger or smaller, you'll end up moving the projector. For best results, especially when it comes to brightness, you'll want to use it plugged into both the wall and a laptop, though it technically requires neither. Sound is both tiny and tinny, a common problem for projectors this size, but the picture more than makes up for its drawbacks, reviewers say.
