The expensive ($4049), hefty TLP-T501U is the only projector we tested that has an integrated document camera so you can use the projector like an old-fashioned overhead. The camera swings out from the rear of the projector to display three-dimensional objects or printed documents. A built-in PC Card slot can accommodate a flash media card or a Wi-Fi card for handling PC-less or wireless presentations; a single 802.11b PC Card is included for use with the projector. Navigating the unattractive on-screen menus is a bit cumbersome. The TLP-T501U scored higher for graphics and motion, but its FCC Class A rating means it's designed for business use only.

UPSHOT: This versatile unit is a good choice for people who need to display hard copies as well as data.
