The Bottom Line	Very attractive design combined with decent performance and an affordable price make the Hitachi HDPJ52 an excellent value in LCD front projection.	The new chip in Samsung's SP-A900B helps it to outperform every projector in its class, including its step-down Joe Kane-designed brother, and to compete favorably against significantly more-expensive three-chip DLP projectors.	With lens shift, high resolution, and plenty of adjustments, this LCD projector stands out from the midpriced pack.	Packed with intense brightness, an abundant feature set, and a minuscule price tag, the Dell 1200MP is ideal for business presentations on a tight budget, but it could face competition from higher-resolution XGA projectors.	Able to match the brightness, image quality, and feature sets of much more expensive models, the Dell 2400MP resets the bar for what you can expect from a mainstream budget projector.
