![]() While password protection can’t prevent a determined thief, it is a deterrent, so it’s a shame that SMART hasn’t made it easier for schools to deploy. There is also no provision for creating your own startup screen. If you want to protect the LightRaise 40wi with a password, you need to connect it to a network using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). But only the MW860USTi offers built-in password protection and the ability for schools to create their own startup screen, such as a school logo. The holder also has a slot for storing a remote control handset. ![]() The LightRaise 40wi and MW860USTi include Kensington lock slots, and SMART supplies a lockable, wall-mounted holder that can be used for storing two interactive pens. Projectors are highly prized by thieves, so security features are important. Both projectors also offer easy auto-configuration routines. Put the projector in position, connect it to a PC using USB and VGA or HDMI cables and you’re good to go. While SMART supplies its projector with a wall-mounting kit, however, the BenQ makes it an optional extra. The LightRaise 40wi is designed to be wall-mounted only, but the MW860USTi offers more flexibility, and can also be used as a table-top projector, with front or rear projection. Both projectors come with a three-year on-site warranty. A replacement pen for the SMART costs £99, while for the BenQ, it’s £65. However, a replacement lamp for the LightRaise 40wi costs £209, compared with £107 for the MW860USTi, so it will be slightly more expensive to run in the long term. Both projectors have lamps with a lifetime rating of 2,500 hours in normal mode, and 4,000 hours in eco mode. When it comes to price and running costs, the BenQ projector has the upper hand, costing around £400 less than the SMART.
