The Compaq MP2800 is a noteworthy addition to the landscape of portable multimedia projectors, designed to cater to both business and entertainment needs. Launched at a time when the demand for high-resolution visuals in a compact format was rapidly increasing, the MP2800 became a popular choice for professionals and casual users alike.

One of the standout features of the Compaq MP2800 is its impressive brightness, typically reaching up to 2800 ANSI lumens.

Moreover, the MP2800 is equipped with built-in speakers, providing a convenient audio solution for presentations and video playback without the need for external speakers. The lamp life of the projector is also commendable, with an estimated lifespan of up to 3000 hours in standard mode, reducing maintenance costs and the frequency of lamp replacements.

In conclusion, the Compaq MP2800 stands out for its blend of portability, brightness, and image quality.
