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.

The compact design does not compromise on connectivity; the projector offers multiple input options, including VGA, composite video, S-Video, and USB ports for connecting various devices such as laptops, DVD players, and gaming consoles.

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.
