The InFocus IN1126 ($1,099 direct) is a compact and very light - yet - bright data projectors geared to business travelers who need to frequently make presentations to small groups. Although it's highly portable, you do need bring your computer or other input source to run presentations from as there's no port for a USB thumb drive. Its image quality is fine for typical data presentations. The IN1126 is rated at 3,000 lumens of brightness. It has native WXGA (1,280 by 800) resolution, compatible with widescreen laptops with a 16:10 aspect ratio. It measures 2.8 by 8.6 by 7 inches (HWD) and weighs 3.4 pounds. This black and boxy projector has both zoom and focus wheels; it was easy enough to bring it to a fairly sharp focus quickly. The projector is identical in appearance, dimensions, and features to the InFocus IN1124 ($975 direct, 3.5 stars), except that the IN1124's native resolution is limited to XGA (1,024 by 768 pixels). The Editors' Epson PowerLite 1775W Multimedia Projector ($1,199 direct, 4 stars) has WXGA resolution; it's wider but considerably thinner than the IN1126, and weighs slightly more.
