Which Projector?

Originally posted by winging it I share your interest Doug, and I'd also be interested to know which camcorder you bought.  I have access to a professional quality video recorder, but its a proper tripod mounted jobby so only good for use on shore.

I have a JVC HDD camcorder that could be borrowed if you need a mobile one Nessa. It is not waterproof though....

Ill second the use of NEC projectors and also BENQ, we have quite a lot of these at the school I work at.  From experience I wouldn't recommend HP (I have a pile of broken ones behind me) the HP parts are  expensive and regularly they seem to break.

Aim for 4000+ lamp hours, 2000 ANSI Lumens or more and check the price of replacement lamps as these can often end up costing more than the projector itself.

The resolution the projector can handle is also another consideration, ideally for widescreen projection you will need one that can handle WXGA resolutions but you can get away with XGA resolutions it just often means changing a few screen settings on your laptop.

May I suggest: http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details .asp?EdpNo=401212&CatId=1476   failing that there are many cheaper models available on the market which will do the job jsut fine...

Dear mr tax man. I don't want a free house and I don't want all my bills paid
for me. I don't need a fancy pair of trainers, a quick slick phone or sky TV.
However, I DO want a projector. So how about I don't bother going to work
anymore, go get some girl knocked up and YOU put that projector in the
post. Sound reasonable?

Ps. Forget putting it in the post, I'll never get it. Try E.D.S. or Interlink.
Thanks
