I chose this projector as I need to use a projector for small to medium sized room presentations. I found it easy to setup and light weight to carry around. It does not include any bells & whistles but is more than adequate for most generic presentation use.
It doesn't have the newer USB connection and so if you intend hook this up to a games console or something you will have to get the correct cables, but other than that I found it to be a pretty good buy.
One major criteria for buyng this product was the cost of replacement bulbs, some projectors have very specific and fairly expensive replacement bulbs. In fact a number of projectors I looked at had replacement bulbs at over 50% of the cost of the unit.
