You would be far better off asking in the Audio Video groups. There
are many.

Also, there are sets of "better" units depending on your price ceiling.

There is display quality criteria (1080p), projection method criteria
(DLP, etc.).

I'd say that you'd be better off waiting one more year as the
technology just took a big bounce, and the hardware that adopts the newer
technology won't be out for a little while yet.

I'm looking into a multimedia projector, and it seems the Panasonic units have the better reviews in the lower price
brackets.
As for portables, Im not sure, how heavy, is 5lbs too heavy? What about lighting, room settings etc.
Panasonic has a small 3lb 1500 lumen unit http://www.projectorreviews.com/panasonic/pt-p1sdu/specifications-id829.php

Got an Acer which works OK, but it's clearly not the best performance
unit around - fairly light/portable, included a well designed case for
it and all the cables, but dim as compared to the 3X size/4X price
(non-portable, unless you have porters, Mr. NewHip) units in use
elsewhere here. Budget driven, and on that basis OK - but also a few
years old, so probably not closely related to this week's options.

If you can find a store which has the darn things in stock to try out,
that would be best, even if it's a few bucks more than ordering it from
far away.
