Ah sweetness! Projector prices are finally dropping to a level where we won't have to do anything illegal to be able to afford one. But the thing with projectors is that it's not always the cost that prevents us all from having a home theater, but the cost that comes along with it. Things like a good projection surface, an external sound system, air conditioning to prevent the bulb from over heating after long hours and the most important part—the right lighting. Not everyone can live with stumbling around in a dark room just because the "TV" is on.

The point is, that besides the cost itself, it takes a lot of tender loving care to be able to effectively handle a projector at home.

That's why these babies are usually found only in your local pubs and boardrooms, where people are not so uptight about the kind of quality in terms of contrast ratio, black levels, clarity etc. just as long as everyone in the room can make out what's going on.

The BenQ MP611c DLP projector may be available at a budget price of Rs. 53,000, but it definitely doesn't look like one. It's 10.9x3.7x8.7 inch size makes it considerably small in size and the 2.68kg weight is not too heavy to carry either. It's top portion has the shiny plastic finish like the PS3 and just about every consumer electronic these days.

The top section also has all the controls like power, directional buttons, menu, source etc. along with three light indicators for Power, Temperature and Lamp.

The MP611c supports a native resolution of 800x600 (SVGA) and a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 (SXGA), which means that it's best for standard definition resolution when it comes to video formats. It has composite and s-video inputs, so you can directly plug-in your DVD player or your digital cable TV connection.
