Hello everyone, looking to get a projector. I know absolutely NOTHING about them.

I need a projector in the $300 range, or less... I'll be running it with my MBP (see sig) All I need it for is to run a slideshow at a wedding. After that, my in-laws are giving it to us. Not sure what I'll use it for after that.

I get that I can google this info, and I will do that. Just looking for opinions from this community.

Thanks
 
I've been buying these In Focus IN104. DLP projector, 1024x768 resolution, and 2700 Lumens. You can go cheaper, but you sacrifice brightness and resolution. 2500 is the absolute lowest I would go in Lumens. The more you spend the higher resolution you get, and the more inputs. In Focus also has one of the best warranties in the business.
