HP HP DIGITAL PROJECTOR SVGA SB21 1000 LUMENS 2.2LBS (HP (Hewlett-Packard)-L1510A) Review

by Richard Jantz

Superlightweight projector brings up the rear among 16 tested models, with blurry text and a low brightness rating.

Weighing just over 2 pounds, the diminutive HP Sb21 is the lightest projector we reviewed; unfortunately, the images this $1999 projector displayed weren't very pleasing. Due to its weak performance in our tests using interpolated XGA-resolution, this SVGA-resolution projector placed dead last in our overall value rankings. The Sb21 turned in blurry and hard-to-read text; its color graphics looked a bit dark, owing in part to the projector's low brightness rating of 800 lumens. Like the other SVGA projectors we tested, it fared better with the large, bold fonts used in typical PowerPoint presentations. The tiny Sb21 offers no built-in speaker or zoom lens; but otherwise, its controls, menus, and remote were attractive and relatively easy to manage.

UPSHOT: The ultra-compact HP Sb21 is best suited for mobile pros who want an affordable, no-frills SVGA-resolution projector for displaying large fonts and fairly simple graphics.
