AAXA M2 or LGHS200 for external display

Hey guys,

In my continuing search to find the "best bang for the buck" micro projector to connect to my computer, I'm somewhat torn between these 2. LG is a respected brand, and with that comes the price, but I recently found the AAXA M2, it's almost 1/2 the brightness at 1/2 the price but from what I've read, once you're in the dark, it doesn't make that big of a difference. I was wondering if anyone could chime in on this and give me some feedback, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I also can't seem to find if the HS200 connects to a PC via VGA. Both units have HDMI though.

I'd really like to get a projector that's almost 1/2 the cost, but just wondering how it will hold up.

Definitely the AAXA, it runs at a higher resolution, also it is cheaper. But higher resolution means overall, a larger screen and higher quality.
The res of the AAXA is 1024x768
The res of the HS2000 is 800 x 600
Both have LED, but also I think the AAXA has a widescreen ratio (10:9) while the HS2000 has a standard ration (4:3).

Thanks for the reply. I went with the M2 because there seems to be enough reviews of it being a good buy. Now if only the media dock for my smartphone would come out, then my digital world would be perfect for the time being.
