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.
