07 Oct 08 Dell Days of Deals for October 2008 : Day 2 has great Dell 5100MP DLP 1440x1050px projector at $1200 off

They’re back, and I’ll only be putting up blurbs if there are somewhat notable deals. Their deals are always a good buy, but the “regular” price that they show during these DoD specials are…. to be examined a bit closer.

Today they have the excellent 5100MP Native SXGA+ DLP projector which will put out great images for both a moderate size business conference room and since it supports video feeds up to 1080i, it could double nicely for watching video. It supports 3300 ANSI lumens which is pretty incredible considering that a native SXGA+ resolution (1400 x 1050) with that much brightness would have been $4K+ just 2-3 years ago. It also autosyncs up to 1600×1200 but remember that as with LCD screens or projectors, it’s best to drive them at their native resolution.

It’s got a decent set of inputs ; Composite Video, S-Video, Component, HDMI and of course BNC – but no Display port. It also has a built-in speaker (which, in all honesty should be used only as a backup!) and best of all…. free shipping and 3 year advance exchange service (they ship a replacement to you prior to exchange!)… all for $1699 !

A great buy for a business meeting room and don’t forget the nice Elite VMAX 100 UWH2 electric projection screen with IR and 12V remote operation capability and 100″ diagonal size (this is a steal at under $200 IMHO!)….

The 1TB external drive at $150 is also a good one.
