Hi everyone! My friend recommended these forums because apparently you have saved his life before. I own a catering company and I need to revamp my new customer meet ups. I always use my laptop to show the new customer the things my company has done. My friend suggested I get a projector. He didn't know much about them and I new zero. He sent me a link to one on Overstock http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/AAXA-P4-LED-Pico-Pocket-Projector-Refurbished/6399660/product.html
The reviews look good but my friends suggested I get extra opinions from you guys. SO what do you guys think?
 
Few things with that one, it's refurbished, which in many cases is a risk, often you get a dead product or one that works for a day before breaking.

Two, it states it's 80 lumens which is very very very low for a projector. I don't know what rating system they use, but a projector that you want to use in even a semi-lit room needs to have about 1,000 lumens to show up well. For a lit room, you want about 2,000+.

Take a look at this one form their site http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/InFocus-IN112-3D-Ready-DLP-Projector-1080p-HDTV-4-3/6099504/product.html
