Projectors “in the $100-200 range” are cheap Chinese crap. Good projectors *start* at $600-800. There is one possible exception, the ViewSonic LX60 HD which is a 3LCD that lists for $300. I have the M2e and it’s not bad.
The only cheap projector I can recommend is the ViewSonic LX60HD. It claims to be 600 lumens, so it will project a small image in a very dark room. If you want something brighter, plan to spend $600+ *minimum*.
Decent unit. Really high input lag.
