The GCN Lab rounded up some of the most popular ultraportable projectors on the market and tested them for brightness, color quality, portability, ease of use, features and value.
BenQ MP622
GCN Lab review: The BenQ MP622 would be at home in a government boardroom or the penthouse suite of a Manhattan artist.
Mitsubishi XL510U
GCN Lab review: This not a bad projector, but it is outperformed by most others in this review.
Dell M209X ultraportable projector
GCN Lab review: This is a a tiny projector that can hang tough with the big boys.
Epson PowerLite 1715c

The Falcon SSG1.5k-1T universal power source can complete the foundation of arugged office by providing reliable backup power for static offices in locations where power is unreliable and air conditioning is unavailable.
A UPS that can take the heat
GCN Lab Review | Falcon's SSG withstands high temperatures and has effective management features.
Rugged goes extreme
GCN Lab Review | The Olympus Stylus 770 is an amazing little camera that looks fragile but in fact took everything we threw at it, even taking photos underwater.
Ghost with the most
GCN Lab Review | The latest version of Norton Ghost gets a lot friendlier, while still performing first-rate backup and image restoration.
ViewSonic VX2255wmb has significant flaws
GCN Lab Review | The ViewSonic VX2255wmb just barely gets above-average marks in our display testing.
Eizo s2431W is best in show
GCN Lab Reviewer's Choice | The Eizo s2431W is hands-down the best in terms of overall quality, which is surprising considering the size of the screen. The s2431W placed number one or two in every test.
Envision's AOC 212Va-1particularly good when watching DVDs, streaming media
This monitor does not offer a lot of frills but surprisingly does conjure above-average image quality on most tests.
HP L2045w'a good, inexpensive LCD without a lot of flaws
GCN Lab Review | For just $279, you really can't go wrong with this extremely accurate monitor.
NEC LCD223WXM: List of flaws is long
GCN Lab Review | Despite a low price, the 223WXM came in dead last in almost all our display testing, features controls you have to really wrestle with and has no real strengths to redeem it.
NEC LCD2490UXi excelled in all display categories
The NEC LCD2490UXi is a 24-inch, wide-screen LCD that performed great in all display testing and was the best in this review in one very important factor: readable text display.
