good price for occasional use.

I paid £260 for a BenQ 720 dp which is great, but I only use it occasionally , projecting about 110 inches straight onto the wall.

judging by the image show it looks like a copy or based on one i got on ebay for about £40 which wasn't bad for playing around with. i also got a couple of projectors brand new for less than £15 on ebay but they weren't very bright or good quality obviously. if you don't need hdmi you can get some bargain second hand projectors on ebay, ex £400+ stuff for really cheap, with a good quality bright picture. 720p projectors seem to start around the £100 mark for the cheapest ones

800 480 resolution, ok for dvds etc

I have this l, ok image but crap system and it's very very noisy. Would do a decent job for a summer night outdoor movie night but would not recommend for regular use

'crenova' sounds suspiciously like Lenovo...

just search for SVGA projector, sort by lowest price, see what results pop up and google for reviews. I got one projector for about £12 delivered which was ok and another for about £20 which was pretty good. at those prices I could take a gamble. they were brands like Panasonic and Samsung, household brands. you just connect to the pc with a VGA monitor cable, but a HMDI - VGA adapter worked (I think a fiver on ebay). they seem to be ex school or office stock

there seems to be a ton of cheaper projectors on Amazon at around the £40-60 mark.

The lifestyle shots are very convincing :smirk:

Lols!!!

You'd be much better off getting an ex corporate data projector than buying this cr*p.

I started off with a projector costing just £20, some old hp office model, now ten years later I have a £500 proper film hd projectorcos I got the bug big time.

If you can manage to get a 16:9 ratio one then do so, cos many office/data projectors are 4:3 ratio so you get loads of useless light overspill when watching a film.

Of course, should you have the budget to go a little higher an old 720p HD projector is way better than an office projector.

Limit your expectations if this is to be your first projector - its going to literally project an image and that's about it - I wouldn't expect it to handle motion well, have deep colours, handle high levels of ambient light, operate quietly etc - it would probably only be fine for a young child or someone with little expectation of quality if it's to be used for video.

Now, if you're prepared to pay £400+ for an entry level 'proper' projector then it has to to be the Benq W1070 which I cream in detail over on this thread and is now back to £449 new and worth every single penny :smiley:

​i got it for 359 open box, 3 Hours on bulb, good projector, colours are lovely unlike x152h
