Mitsubishi's new XD95U DLP projector may not technically fall into the "
pico" category, despite the company's attempts to proclaim it as such, but that doesn't mean it isn't tiny, with it weighing in at just a bit over three pounds and measuring a very portable 7.5- by 8.1-inches. The projector's specs also look like they should be up to most anyone's presentation needs, and include a full XGA resolution, 2,200 ANSI lumens, a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, and just the bare necessities when it comes to ports (composite, s-video, and VGA). Not surprisingly, you'll have to pay a considerable premium for that all that portability, with the XD95U boasting a suggested retail price of $1,495, which might just be enough to get some folks to reconsider the
$500 Dell M109S and its non-standard 858 x 600 resolution.

first!
Second Place FAIL.
I wonder if this product line will continue lowering the price. The current economics may help force the issue.
SMALLER!
I always thought BIGGER was better?
(insert "that's what she said" immaturity joke here)
this is nothing like a true pico projector, and smaller/lighter projectors have been around for years. so we can't really blame mitsubishi for ignorance and misapplying terms for the sake of shilling.
VGA instead of DVI? FAIL! http://www.bronosky.com/?p=54
InFocus, Dell and others have been making smaller/lighter projectors for a long time. This is nothing special.
That looks EXACTLY like my BenQ, and has worse specs =/

"include a full XGA resolution"
Tell us what the resolution is, IN NUMBERS. What did you save there, four characters?
