Portable projectors

[Duke{CLR}]

Does anybody have any experience with these? My wife got a laptop last week so she could teach a course. The problem is that the projector at her hospital isn't compatible with it. She needs one that takes HDMI. The hospital doesn't want to buy one so I was wondering if there were some out there that aren't too expensive. Also what should I consider when looking at these things.

TIA

Does her laptop have DVI out? or SVGA if so you can always buy an adapter....

It looks like the only output is HDMI. I don't know what the projector input is.

I found this and it has some good reviews. It is made to not need as much distance from screen for large picture. Seems like a winner looking at the brightness and lamp life...I'm guessing the lower price is due to the resolution which shouldn't be a problem for your wife.

This is a weird projector because it has the specs of a business projector with the high brightness and the low resolution.....but it has hdmi, which business types normally do not have.

HDMI's video signal is the same as DVI. If the projector is newer it might have DVI on it most projectors I see have SVGA
