Mitsubishi's XD95U projector packs a punch in a small package

 
Projectors are getting ever smaller these days, getting down even to the new class of "pico" pocket sized gadgets. Pretty amazing, but I can't recall seeing a projector quite as small while still retaining real-world specs as the new Mitsubishi XD95U. The dimensions are 7.5" X 8.1", basically the size of a half sheet of paper, and it doesn't weigh too much more: 3.3 pounds. The new so-called "pico" projectors are actually even smaller and could fit in your pocket, but they don't (yet) have these numbers: XGA (1024X768) resolution, 2200 lumens of brightness and 2000:1 contrast ratio with a filter-free DLP chip. Up to 3,000 hours of lamp life and Mitsu's 3 year warranty also sweeten the deal.
True, there are plenty of other projectors on the market with these kind of specs for less than the estimated $1495 MSRP for this when it's released at the end of November.... but you won't be able to keep them in your glove compartment like this one.
