The ergonomic Desktop Projector 2800 ($8995) stands less than 6 inches high and pulls in its lenses and mirrors for transport and storage. The active-matrix projector incorporates a fully integrated digital video processor and accepts all three international video formats and power sources as well as S-VHS.
The optical system in the Desktop Projector focuses the available light through the aperture of the LCD panel to provide an image up to four times brighter than one on a standard LCD panel, according to the manufacturer, Proxima. A "folded" optical design and angled panel placement enable the lens to be stored inside the device. You simply move the mirror to adjust the position of the image on the screen. The Active Color Enhancement technology uses processing techniques that provide enha
nced color matching from a palette of 16.7 million colors, Proxima says. The 410-W quartz halogen redundant lamp system lets you operate the projector in a lighted room.
