Needed for small presentations to about 20 personsIt would be very useful for lug meets if we want to do something with a more formal presentation format. I am looking for a cheap one, for this purpose, however trying to find a price for a unit and price for any new bulbs is harder, newer projectors use led units for the light, Aparently these are more reliable.
Just a thought, looking at the costr of these things, and given most newer flat screen tv's have vga / hdmi input would it be cheaper for buy one of these, Ok you need to lug it around but we could suggest this to places as an alternative solution to projectors and screens.
Vitrually no-one lugs a screen about anymore - there's almost always a whiteboard to point a projector at - and the ones with really brigh bulbs will work on most light coloured surface anyway.
So.. Actually did a tiny bit of research on this recently for my wife who was looking at buying one - however I didn't come to any firm conclusion and was about to ask here too... It seems that the price range is in the sub £500 bracket now
Anyway from the little I gethers - you're probably looking at something in the 1500-2000 lumens range - then it boils down to resolution - XGA is probably what you're after (1024x768) then weight (under 3Kg for carrying?) As for brand ... there's too many of them!
