Getting a projector for a youth club

Comerman

Hi Folks, as the heading says I'm looking at buying a projector to use in a youth club showing films/cartoons etc on a wall and possibly open air movies in the summer. Only problem is I might as well be looking into a field of thistles as yer man says. We have a budget between 300-500€, any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.:)

if your looking at making a large image you should look at a Full HD Projector, but you won't get one in that price bracket.

Cheapest you will maybe find is Benq W1070 is a DLP Projector so some people may suffer from Rainbow Effect.

It's not a HD projector, it's native resolution is 800x600 which is Standard def.

You want something that is 1920x1080p resolution.

You won't get a full hd projector at that price.

Thanks for your input MHI, maybe we'll just buy a TV

if it's for a youth club then image quality probably not the biggest priority

however, there is a link in the bargain alerts forum for a HD projector for just over your budget, might be worth checking out

bear in mind, you'll need something to deliver sound as well

There is a Full HD projector available from Amazon Italy for 500
