PC Advisor reviews the best projectors you can buy in the UK today.

5. ViewSonic PJD7383i

  • RRP: £1080 inc VAT
  • Rating: Rated 7 out of 10

The image quality of the ViewSonic PJD7383i isn’t necessarily top notch, but the features are generally good, although we would have preferred to see regular digital inputs on a projector at this price. The short-throw lens, interesting control pen-like device and versatile network management make this a sensible, if expensive, choice for schools and businesses.

4. NEC NP43

  • RRP: £550 inc VAT
  • Rating: Rated 9 out of 10

The NEC NP43 is attractive, highly portable and comes with relatively high brightness capabilities. Add the highly customizable settings and excellent features like the Auto Focus, and this will prove a great choice for businesses on the move.

3. Vivitek Qumi Q2

  • RRP: £670 inc VAT
  • Rating: Rated 8 out of 10

The Vivitek Qumi Q2 costs a lot more than the typical pico projector. But it offers rather more too, impressing with specifications that go beyond the norm for this size of device. If you need a projector that’s highly portable, but want to be able to create a vibrant image under a variety of light conditions, the Vivitek Qumi Q2 hits the mark.

2. Dell M110

  • RRP: £400 inc. VAT
  • Rating: Rated 8 out of 10

The Dell M110 delivers much more than you might expect from such a small device. It’s easy to use and delivers great-looking presentations on smaller screens. It’s also extremely portable and can function without the need for an attached laptop. Supported file formats are limited, however and you’ll have to pay extra for the remote control.

1. InFocus ScreenPlay SP8600

InFocus ScreenPlay SP8600
  • Reviewed on: 24 September 11
  • RRP: £799 inc. VAT
  • Rating: Rated 9 out of 10

We've seen budget 1080p projectors before, but few are able to offer the level of quality and features required to go beyond mere resolution and deliver smooth life-like moving images. The InFocus SP8600 takes such tasks in its stride and is available for less than the Vivitek H1080FD upon which is it based. This is a truly excellent projector at the £799 asking price.
