Compare Prices : Dell M109S - Expert Reviews

Review summary: Pocket-sized LED projector could suit those on the move

Verdict: At £329 + VAT, the M109S isn't particularly cheap and, while the projector itself is fairly small, once you've gathered all the cables and the power supply you've still got a fair amount to carry around

Review summary: There is much to both love and hate about Dell's M109S projector. It has a very low resolution, gets seriously hot, and is only 50 lumens in brightness. At the same time it's tiny, has the longest lamp life we have ever seen, and is mercury free.

Pros: Seriously tiny ... so it has novelty appeal, Very light at 360 grams, Easy to set up and use, Auto keystone adjustment, Super long lamp life, Low running cost, No mercury involved

Cons: 1/40 of standard projector brightness, 2/3 to 1/2 the average projector resolution, Lots of cables reduce portability, Small maximum and minimum display size, Gets very hot

Verdict: Travellers may find Dell's tiny and long lived M109S projector a boon, but watch out for its low brightness.

Award: Editor's Choice!

Review summary: Looking for a projector you can carry with minimal effort so you can give presentations just about anywhere? How about one you can also set up quickly at home to play games at large-screen size or watch a movie? If you answered yes to either question, ...

Pros: Highly portable. LED light source with 10,000-hour life

Cons: No remote. Hard-to-use control panel

Verdict: The Dell M109S is a new-generation palm-size projectorsmall, light, cheap, and suitable for both business travel and home use.

Review summary: This Lilliputian projector has the brightest LED in its class yet.

Pros: Very small and light, Fast warm-up and cooldown times, Uses same AC adapter as Dell laptops

Cons: Requires dark environment, Difficult to press buttons on projector's top panel, Nonstandard native resolution

Verdict: Interestingly, the M109S uses the same AC adapter as Dell's current laptops. This means if you have a Dell notebook, you can leave the projector's AC adapter at home and run the projector from your notebook's adapter while the laptop runs on battery
