The Dell 5100MP is a great projector for the money. It can easily compete with some of the much
more expensive projectors on the market. The feature list simply goes on and on, and the performance is
excellent. The presence of HDCP also helps to extend the effective life of the projector as an HDTV or home theater display
solution. Overall it is an excellent
value backed by an excellent company.
