Maybe not quite the exact forum, but here goes!
I am looking to purchase a digital projector so that speakers can hook up their laptop/mac book when giving a lecture. I also need a screen. It looks like a nightmare trying to find out what is reasonable and what is rubbish. Any advice would be most welcome.

In reply to Co1in H:

I'm surprised that someone who organises lectures doesn't already have one!

I've been considering getting one recently too and found this quite useful:

In reply to Co1in H:

I have always gone with Optoma. Have had an Optoma HD72i for nearly 6 years now and still on the first bulb. Comparatively the Optoma bulbs are cheaper to replace than many (a serious consideration)at around £110 each.

The Optoma HD600X-LV is well rated/review and basically the budget price end of the market but still with good performance.

In reply to Cobbler: Do I know you? Have we been formaly introduced?
Seriously, I have organised quite a number of lectures over the years but have only used venues that have the equipment.
I'm looking to take a different direction into smaller venues.
thanks for the info.
