| Review summary | While not quite as impressive as more expensive DLPs, the budget Panasonic PT-AE900U LCD is the champion of its price bracket so far. | 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. | While Sanyo's PLV-Z2000 1080p projector does have some performance shortcomings, it's nonetheless a very good value. | The Panasonic PT-AE2000U 1080p projector is a credible performer, especially when you consider its relatively low price. | The Samsung SP-A800B outperforms every projector in its class hands-down, and competes favorably with the three-chip DLP units that cost three times as much. |
