I used to like showing off my 35mm slides with a projector. I've been thinking about getting a digital projector but there's a huge choice and price range. I would probably want a small lightweight one but those don't seem to be very bright. The Acer K11 looks about the best option for me at the moment but I will probably wait and see what comes out before Christmas. I'm also thinking that it would be great for watching movies.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

My brother has a projector and his old guitar amps set up with a few sofas for sitting on - it is a very civilized way to watch movies. His setup is at least 2 years old, so I imagine that projectors are brighter and higher resolution. His setup isn't very good when it is sunny outside.

I did a little looking about 2 years ago when I bought one (optoma HD20) and there seemed to be a big difference in 'office projectors' which had powerful lamps but not very nice contrast or picture and 'movie' projectors which had a much nicer picture but not necessarily that good for bright rooms. For showing photos I would guess you may want one more geared towards movies.

I always used to show my slides in a dark room, never liked any light on the screen. It also makes it harder for people to escape out of the room
