Introduction

A business projector is a different animal than a home theater one. What you are looking for is a projector that is versatile, portable, and bright. While InFocus IN3108 doesn't offer the lowest price, you are getting a lot of features for your money. For those looking for a flexible projector that can be controlled and fed a signal via USB over great distances or just a projector they can break down in 13 seconds, the IN3108 has what you need.
