| Personal Experience |
| I have one hundred and six projectors in my inventory. My most recent purchase has been three Dell 4100MP projectors. To begin with, the case is amazing - the unit can be dropped from a few feet up without damage! However, the whole affair is a little large by today's portability standards. People have raved about the image and the contrast. Period. These are occasional users that have borrowed other portables and have taught in many rooms with many different projectors. People did comment that the video image was "dimmer" than the data image - but we experts know why so I won't mention more here... I would mention that I read the reviews posted here before I made the decision to purchase - I wonder why so many negative comments. Not fooling with the brightness and contrast are we?? A no no for the most part, at least until the lamp asks for it.. otherwise you can put quite a load on the ballast/power supply, not to mention the lamp itself. Everything was very professionally packaged and looked and worked well, but we are only two weeks in to what will be a few years. LCD can look really great out of the box but once those chips absorb a few months worth of heat - then is the time to compare the lcd to the spinning wheel (dlp). |

| Problems |
| The lens/case in its natural orientation seems to point upwards at quite an angle. Difficult in rooms that have low ceilings unless you put the machine on the floor!! |
