1. Projector Central.com	Best Mobile Projectors for Business & Home Editors of ProjectorCentral.com As of May 2007		ProjectorCentral.com covers projectors in depth, reviewing both business and entertainment models. Projectors receive a grade of from one to five stars for performance, features, ease of use and value, with top scoring projectors earning the site's 'Highly Rated' designation. Projectors are reviewed in both single-model reports and multi-product roundups. Many of the single-model reports include comparisons to similar projectors. In addition to reviews, this website also offers a number of interesting articles and buyer's guides.
2. ProjectorReviews.com	Six Digital Projector Comparison Art Feierman Aug. 14, 2006		This roundup looks at six very different projectors that have one thing in common -- all are light enough (four to seven pounds) to be easily portable. All of the projectors have different strengths and weakness, but four distinguish themselves as good choices. Although this is an older article, all four projectors remain current. In addition, ProjectorReviews.com has a new six business-projector shootout scheduled for the near future.

3. PC Magazine >> Details/Subscribe	Projector Reviews Editors of PC Magazine As of May 2007		PC Magazine regularly covers digital projectors in single-product reviews and multi-projector roundups. Each digital projector is assigned an editor rating, and the top performing units earn an Editors' Choice award. One negative is that many discontinued projectors continue to appear on the listing. Current Editors' Choice business projectors include the Toshiba TDP-FF1AU and the Canon Realis SX50 and X600.
4. PC World >> Details/Subscribe	PC World Comparison Chart - Projectors Editors of PC World Nov. 6, 2006		PC World looks at portable digital projectors in fairly detailed single-product reports and occasional multi-projector roundups. Each business projector is subjected to a battery of tests designed to reveal how they perform with text, still images and moving images. Features and value are also considered. A numerical rating is provided, so it’s easy to see how the projectors compare to one another. While a couple of the projectors that appear here are now discontinued, most are either current models or remain widely available.
5. Laptop Magazine >> Details/Subscribe	Projectors Reviews Editors of Laptop Magazine As of May 2007		Laptop Magazine regularly reviews portable digital projectors in single-product reports and multi-projector roundups. Curiously, while the individual reviews of the business projectors covered in the multi-product articles are posted online, the overarching text from the roundups is usually only available in the print editions. While that ultimately makes this resource a little less useful, it’s still worth a visit, as the magazine's star rating system and Editors' Choice selections make it easy to spot which portable digital projectors the editors like best.

6. CNet.com	Projectors/Presentation Devices Editors of CNet.com As of Oct. 2006		CNet.com reviews office projectors in detailed, in-depth individual reports. The site is regularly updated, and the editors assign each reviewed projector a rating. The very best projectors earn an Editors' Choice award. While Editors' Choice awards are given out only rarely, the Dell 2400MP is selected for this honor. The majority of recent reviews are of entertainment projectors, with only a few business models sprinkled in here and there.
7. ProjectorReviews.com	Projector Reviews Art Feierman As of May 2007		In addition to the article listed above, ProjectorReviews.com does numerous single and multi-projector reviews, with top-scoring projectors being awarded the site's Hot Product Award. Many reports also include a discussion comparing the reviewed digital projector to its competition. One downside is that business projectors and home-theater projectors both appear on this list, which is grouped by manufacturer and review date. There is also no way to know which projectors are judged to be the best without clicking on the links and reading the reviews.
8. Projector Central.com	Projector Reviews Editors of ProjectorCentral.com As of May 2007		In addition to the projectors spotlighted in Projector Central’s list of Best Mobile Projectors for Business & Home cited above, several other business-appropriate projectors have been positively reviewed. Unfortunately, while all of the reviews are accessed via Projector Central’s home page, where a list of Commercial/Mobile Projector Reviews is maintained, there’s again no easy way to see which projectors are so honored without clicking on the individual links.
9. PC Magazine >> Details/Subscribe	Portable Business Projectors M. David Stone Dec. 13, 2006		This article covers factors you should consider when buying a business projector. Topics include resolution, brightness, aspect ratio, contrast and more. Although there isn’t a great deal of detail, the basics are covered in a straightforward manner. The article includes links to previously-reviewed portable digital projectors.
10. PC World >> Details/Subscribe	Budget Projectors Deliver Big, Bright Images Richard Jantz June 21, 2006		This older head-to-head comparison looks at the still current Dell 2400MP and the InFocus IN26 (which has recently received a brightness boost and been re-branded as the IN26+). These two DLP office projectors weigh less than six pounds each and offer native XGA (1024 X 768) resolution, making them ideal for portable presentations. We'd like to see a more recent comparison from PC World.
11. PC Today >> Details/Subscribe	Portable Projectors: You Can Take It With You Tom Nelson and Mary O’Connor Apr. 2007		PC Today’s look at six business projectors, including the Boxlight Broadview, Canon Realis X600, Canon LV-X6, Epson PowerLite 76c, Epson PowerLite 1715c and Toshiba TDP-FF1AU, is not overly critical, but it does an okay job of pointing out the strengths of each, along with a few weaknesses. Sidebars covering presentation tips and how to select a projector are helpful, though they don’t go into too many details.
12. Audioholics.com	Featured Projection Reviews Editors of Audioholics.com As of May 2007		Audioholics.com’s projector coverage includes a few business-appropriate products, such as the Optoma EP1690 and Optoma EP7150. The reviews are lengthy, detailed and fairly technical. No recommendations as to which projectors are best are made, but ratings for overall performance and value are given, as are sub-ratings for things like detail and resolution, color reproduction, contrast, features, ease of setup, build quality, ergonomics and more.
13. HDTVExpert.com	Dell 2400MP Portable DLP Projector Peter Putman May 25, 2006		While this site typically focuses on high-definition home-theater equipment, Peter Putman does review the Dell 2400MP business projector. He notes that while it’s not a great performer with video, it works well as an office projector. What impresses Putman the most is the projector's high light output and relatively modest price.

14. CircuitCity.com	Projector Reviews Contributors to CircuitCity.com As of May 2007		Like many retailers, CircuitCity.com allows users to share their experiences with products. Many projectors get enough comments to make visiting the site useful if you want to get some real-world impressions of how pleased others are with their projectors. Of course, like most non-professional reviews, the quality and usefulness of the reports can vary. One positive is that the site is easy to navigate, and the listing of projectors can be sorted many ways, including by rating.
15. Newegg.com	Projector Reviews Contributors to Newegg.com As of May 2007		While not as busy as CircuitCity.com, Newegg.com’s contributors tend to be fairly sophisticated when it comes to technology, and reviewers are asked to rate their technical expertise and report how long they’ve used the digital projector as part of the feedback process. Unfortunately, the reviews themselves are relatively short.
16. Amazon.com	Video Projectors Contributors to Amazon.com As of May 2007		Amazon.com also lets users rate and review products that they own, including portable digital projectors. Unfortunately, while many business projectors are listed, quite a few of them are discontinued, making the site much harder to use and navigate. Still, there are lots of comments, so this might be a good place to visit after you've narrowed down your choices.

17. Epinions	Projector Reviews Contributors to Epinions As of May 2007		We didn't find many projectors on Epinions with more than a few reviews from owners, and newer models frequently have no reviews at all. Reviews are typically longer than at the retailer sites above, however, so it's worth a stop to see if there is any user feedback on a business projector you are considering.
