[SML] Portable video projector recommendation?

[Kim Hartshorn]

I like using video projection.  Of course much depends on what exactly you
are wanting to do with the projectors but you should not discount consumer
model projectors.  You can buy projectors at Best Buy for $300 that
out-perform $10K projectors from 6 years ago.  Lamp replacements are
expensive and the technology is improving so rapidly that unless you have a
very specific need for a high end projector I believe you should get 4 or 5
or 6 matching consumer grade models for the same basic money.  Like it or
not, video projectors are essentially disposable and it is much easier to
say goodbye to a $300 projector that doesnt cut the mustard any more.
Software can handle most of the image manipulation you will need.  Spend
the money on software and video cards and drive multiple projectors using
media server software...you will have much more fun :-)
