BenQ Projector MS521 3000 Lumens DLP 3D

A head-to-head competitor with the Editors' Choice Epson EX3212 SVGA 3LCD Projector, the BenQ MS521 offers the same SVGA (800 by 600) resolution. It also offers some advantages over the Epson EX3212, notably an optical zoom and full support for 3D with sources like Blu-ray players. That makes it a good candidate if you need an inexpensive projector for showing a typical PowerPoint presentation or other images without much detail. Unfortunately, I ran into a problem with it in my testing. But more on that later. Depending on how you plan to use the projector, the problems may not be an issue for your purposes.
