I can't think of a better example of "You get what you pay for."

You can't expect much for 45 pounds. The real spec you need is lumens, or the light output, which is conspicuously missing here. It's probably so low that you would have to use this in a dark room just to see the image. And the resolution is pretty lousy, too, compared to most LCD projectors.

You don't give enough information to really determine what you are willing to spend or what your expectations are, but I use Epson LCD projectors in business, and would recommend them highly.

Its resolution is lower then a STANDARD DEFINITION TV. Its garbage, not usable for any application beyond cruddy DVD watching. Notice the horizontal resolution is only 260p (vs 480 for a ed (standard) tv)
