I chose and ordered this unit to replace the cool looking but non usable 3M MPRO110 PICO Micro projector. I deliberated at length over the Toshiba TDP-SP1U, the ViewSonic PJ513DB and also considered the InFocus X6 projector, which are currently priced around $400-$430. I used http://www.projectorcentral.com do research and compare the specifications and get additional reviews. The InFocus X6 unit was comparable but is now out of production. So I focused on the Toshiba TDP-SP1U and the ViewSonic PJ513DB both units still shipping. Their specs were almost identical and their user reviews were both excellent. In the end the inclusion of a projector carry case and support for SDTV/480i made up for the approx $30 difference, that being at least one extra accessory I need to go out and look for. Both units have a remote control and both have digital zoom capability, neither of these features is evident when reading about the specs of the Toshiba but it has them. What I really like about the Toshiba TDP-SP1U Projector is the ability to do Keystone adjustments for quick and easy picture corrections on the display screen. The ViewSonic PJ513DB has a three year warranty over two years for the Toshiba TDP-SP1U and that was also a consideration but in the end I chose the Toshiba and I am extremely pleased with my choice of this projector. It is lightweight at 4.5lbs, the display is bright at 2200 Lumens, the picture is crisp at a max 1280 x 1024 (SXGA) resolution, has well rounded connectivity options. Sure I'd really like a digital DVI connector option too but I can't justify paying an additional $1200 or more just for that or any higher resolution capability. The Toshiba TDP-SP1U Projector display capabilities should meet or exceed the portable needs of most users. Quite outstanding, especially given the high prices associated with most portable projectors.

TOSHIBA TDP-SP1U DLP Mobile Projector
I am using this product to project high quality fine art for group presentations. It has been easy to use, has produced the necessary clarity and sharpness needed and has been extremely mobile.

Price through Amazon was incredible. Delivery service was terrific

I bought one of these for my church to use and it is perfect. Easy to set up & extremely portable. I'm planning on buying another one since out need for this type of equipment has increased.

This projector has two great advantages, light weight and bright display. I have used it for 2 months now and it has an easy to use interface and clear display. I love it!
