Today ViewSonic debuted a series of budget projectors ranging in price from US$899 to US$1,499 for basic home and business projector needs.

Geared toward home users, the Cine1000 features a DLP engine and a 16:9 aspect ratio for a widescreen home-theater experience. Weighing a light 4kg, the Cine1000's brightness rating is only 1,000 lumens, though that should be sufficient for home viewing.

With DLP engines, the 4.9-pound PJ458D and the 3.6kg PJ766D will suit home or basic business needs. Both feature XGA resolutions of 1,024 x 768, 2,000:1 contrast ratios, and the ability to support HDTV signals. The 2,000-lumen PJ458D will cost US$999, and the 2,500-lumen PJ766D will cost US$1,499.

And in the ultraportable category, ViewSonic is offering the 2.2kg PJ452 and the 2.8kg PJ656. Both LCD projectors offer 1,024 x 768 XGA resolution. The PJ452 features 1,500 lumens of brightness and a 300:1 contrast ratio and will be available for US$899, while the PJ656 provides 2,100 lumens of brightness and a 400:1 contrast ratio for US$1,199.

All projectors will be available at the end of January.
