Currently, we use GCU's projector (SVGA=3D800x600). We have to get it before the meeting and return it later. At the last meeting, we nearly left the projector in room when we left the building. Currently, there are 2000 lumen, XGA, DLP projectors available for = around $2000. (XGA=3D1024x768) The DLP projectors provide higher constrast = than LCD projectors (2000:1 aka blacker blacks). The projectors typically weigh either 6.5 lbs or 2.4 lbs. They can be used either in the front = of the room or back.
