I'm in the market for a good, affordable LCD projector. Suggestions on what to get or stay away from are appreciated! Must be 1024x768 minimum.
Well, don't we usually start these conversations with "Well, it depends on what you want to do with it?" Is this for UG presentations to a dozen people or a hundred people, how big a projection are you looking to make - 6' or 20', what kind of light levels are you dealing with, and what kind of content are you trying to show? Or is this for a tradeshow booth? You are looking for 1024x768 which is usually XGA and not HD. So are you going to be watching the Steelers or reading Fox code? Or both? Finally, "affordable" usually means "cheaper" -- the $3500 projector will likely do everything you need, but if your budget is $700, we can skip that discussion... I attend 4 or 5 UG meetings a month, and nearly every projector works "pretty well." We actually ran into a problem at PySIG where a Panasonic laptop wouldn't sync with a fairly new InFocus projector. However, last night, the same projector worked with my ThinkPad, which was stuck in 1280x768 and it downsampled and squashed it a bit to fit. So, the right answer might be to find a local shop that will let you bring in your laptop and try it... -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
