Why should I care?

At just one pound, and about the size of a large paperback book, it's a truly portable projector that will turn any wall into a 68-inch video screen.

How would you describe it?

With its built-in battery pack--which offers about two hours of play time, just enough for the typical Hollywood flick--this Toshiba projector is worth taking a look at. It even comes with a 23-inch diagonal folding screen and carrying case, so you'll have a true traveling movie theater. It has a host of inputs--RGB, composite, USB and stereo mini-jack-making it compatible with a number of video sources ranging from laptops and portable DVD players to digital cameras. Even though it won't replace a large flat screen TV, and the SVGA 800x600 resolution is far from high definition, this mobile DLP projector is still significantly better than many larger "portable" projector systems in its class. It requires almost no warm-up or cool-down time, and while it's not the brightest projector we've seen, it does a pretty good job even when there's a little ambient light in the room. And since it's sleek enough to fit in your carry on bag, you'll never have to waste your summer vacation time actually reading ever again!
