CES 2009

Not many people can casually tote their projector around without pulling a muscle. SANYO’s PLC-XW60 projector ($899) aims to make your projector both portable and convenient. Its size and weight are unusually small; it measures in at about 10-inches wide and 2-inches tall and weighs a mere 3.6 pounds. Also, with an easy on/off function (you simply unplug it to turn it off), you’ll want to carry this one wherever you go.

Novelty or not, the PLC-XW60 projector also includes a number of other intriguing features. It comes with a built-in sensor that will automatically search for an available input signal, so you won’t have to spend time setting it up from place to place. Its brightness is rated at 2,000 lumens, and its resolution is 1,024 by 768. Whether you’re looking for a second projector to add to another room of your house or you just like the idea of carrying your projector around, SANYO’s PLC-XW60 portable projector is worth a second look.
