REVIEW

By Alfred Poor

Even the pearl-white case of the NEC LT245 sets it apart from the typical gray or silver housing found on most projectors. The 7.1-pound DLP model ($2,495 list) with XGA resolution costs a little more than some of its competitors, but it is packed with powerful and useful features.
