Off-topic: LCD Projector

[Paul@Pittsburgh]

Sorry this is off-topic, but there is such a great resource of people in this forum, I thought I should seek your advice.

I am looking to buy an LCD projector for work in the next few weeks. It will be used mostly for training courses and seminars - so I will be using it in daylight in a room that seats between 20 and 50 people. It is for software training with graphics as well as text, not really video or sound.

Anyone got any good recommendations or advice (e.g. what sort of lumens I should be looking at for this kind of application).

I would like to go light, but I am a big lad and can travel with a bulkier unit if necessary.

Thanks

Paul

For use with the lights on, at least 2500 lumens.
