OT: Projectors

Sorry for the non-car related post. I was wondering if any of you have any experience of current projectors (i.e. things you plug into your laptop, not headlights)?

I'm looking for something portable to carry around to presentations at clients premises, so it's a backup should they not have anything suitable.

I need to present spreadsheet like data, so need a native resolution of 1280x800 as a minimum.

I'm looking to spend around 400-500 pounds excluding VAT.

I've read loads of reviews online, but without actually seeing them in practice, it's really hard to decide.

I like the LED based ones, as they don't need a lengthy cool-down, and the bulb is less likely to fail. I'm currently considering the Viewsonic Pled-W800 or the Optoma ML1500E, but are these LED projectors actually bright enough? It's reasonable to ask clients to turn the lights off to see the screen, but I don't want to be asking them to install black-out blinds!

These small projectors also don't have zoom, so you have to move it backwards and forwards to get the size right - again, probably not a problem.

If anyone has any experience with any of this, I'd be grateful to hear it.
