    First Glance

    The first thing you'll notice about the Infocus LP120 projector is it's wonderfully small form factor. This mobile projector is very small (2.05" (H) x 3.69" (L) x 9.75" (W)) and light weight (1.98lbs). The LP120 could fit inside of a laptop carrying case, which reduces the amount of baggage required for travel. But can a projector with such small stature be able to perform to task?
