It’s the time of the year when we see a lot of new digital projectors, ranging from home cinema, large venue, office, and portable projectors. Today seems to be a portable day, with Toshiba releasing their 6.6 lb TDP-T45U DLP projector. The TDP-T45U is replacing its predecessor, the TDP-T40U, with some big improvements in this new model. They bumped up the brightness from 1800 to 2500 ANSI lumens, making it bright enough for any classroom, office, or boardroom. On top of that, it has a wide variety of inputs including two 15-pin VGA terminals, a composite video terminal, and an s-video terminal. While it does offer HDTV compatibility, you probably shouldn’t think of it as home cinema projector, since it does lack the necessary component RCA, DVI, and HDMI connectors, as well as not being in a widescreen format, but that doesn’t mean you can’t bring it home and watch a full-screen movie on it after a hard day at the office. Still, for the price, you can’t argue with having an XGA (1024 x 768) resolution and 2000:1 contrast ratio. It’s available now for $1,199 USD.
