Im looking for a portable LCD TV that we can use to easily transport for giving presentations. Can any of you recommend a large TV screen but light weight? Let me know Thanks |

Sharp have just bought out a range of much thinner ones, but I've no idea what the weight of them might be (their website will probably tell you). But generally LCD's are pretty light anyway - how big a set are you looking for?.
The info i have been told is very vague.. We want a light weight set, but the acutal screen size doesnt matter... Obviously we dont want a 7inch screen so probably 23-28 inch?? Also, do many of these have an inbuilt memory card reader to use for photos? |

Why not invest in one of the modern data projectors. There are many available no bigger or heavier than a ladies handbag and many have card slots built in. Even the baby ones will project quality pictures to at least 8ft wide. You could use a small (say 5ft) tripod screen if no white wall was availabable. I have been retired ffom the AV business for 3 years but the price then had dropped to well below plasma or LCD large screens.

Sorry to tell you Nigel modern projectors are at least as good as LCD and probably better than plasma. The small Sanyo are so bright that you can watch an 8ft picture on a white wall in daylight lit room, a smaller picture on a good screen surface is no problem. If the quality is no good the audio visual conference companies would not use them. The same argument also applies to those who claim digital is better than analogue. Try comparing broadcast quality analogue through a broadcast quality player with DVD and you will be surprised.

You are right about the running costs, yes, the lamps are expensive, but still normally last about 2000 hrs. As for quality the standard video projectors sold for home use are rubbish, I am suggesting XGA or SXGA data projectors. The small desk top types are probably around £400 now. I was selling out at £800 4 years ago when I had my AV business.
Pleased to find somebody who agrees with me about the quality of analogue. Most people do not realise that audio & video are analogue sources and comverting to digital and back again to enable us to see & hear them must lose something! thats no allowing for the digital compression distortion. |

Having moved 150 Sony KDL32V4000's the other day, I couldn't help noticing that they weren't very heavy, and the actual weight printed on the box was only 19Kg. That's a 32 inch, smaller sets should be even lighter - weight really isn't a concern.
I've found a review of the Sony KDL32V4000 at CNET, and the user rating was 7.6/10, and the editors 7/10...you may want to read through it and see whether its right for you. One of the major drawbacks was the price, but DigiTech Electronics have it for £418.40, kind of making that drawback defunct in my opinion! |
