Bob, Per my presentation training last January, a digital projector should be chosen based on its lumens rating, which is dependent upon the size of the audience you are planning to use it for.
up to 50 - 1000-1500 lumens 100-150 - 2500 lumens or more 250 or more - 3500-5000 lumens or more, multiple screen projection system Beyond that, specifics of the unit that you should be cognizant of are - what are the video interface requirements of your laptop/computer - what is the reputation of the particular unit with respect to your computer hardware make/OS - where is the nearest service/support depot for the unit you have in mind etc. Beyond that ... well, there my expertise is at an end. I usually borrow units when I need one. Good ones are just too expensive to buy...
