I’ve been in the market for a cheap projector for a while – an ex-roommate had an Infocus X1, and for the price I haven’t found a better one – but seeing new projectors hitting the market like these new Epson PowerLites (740c and 745c, pictured) almost make me want to wait and save up the only $3,000 they cost to bring them home. It might be a lot of money compared to an X1, let’s say, but when you get built-in 802.11g Wi-Fi, USB flash drive support, on-board MPEG2 decoding, and XGA resolution. Of course, they aren’t designed for home entertainment, necessarily, but being able to free the projector from my PC would be pretty great.
If, of course, I didn’t live in an apartment so small I can connect everything with six-foot cables.
