The Smart Projector
While all projectors provide a way to connect via a traditional VGA or DVI port, Epson’s PowerLite 1716 goes a step further by connecting any PC with a USB port. In fact, the 1716 is so smart that you don’t even need to use a computer because it can projector a variety of material held on a memory key. The 1716 uses a trio of LCD panels to put an XGA image on screen, is capable of 2,700 lumens of brightness and starts up in seconds. It comes with a two-year warranty and sells for $1,000.
