Overview

Sony VPL-FE40

Editors rating
Rating: 8.1
Verdict

The VPL-FE40 is an ideal projector for showcasing presentations, video and images in medium- to large-sized meeting rooms and auditoriums. The only downside is the cost, both to purchase and run, which will limit the VPL-FE40 to large organisations with big budgets.

Typical price

£ 3785
