The first gives an excellent reminder in 6 easy steps on how to connect a laptop to your projector and the other gives 3 questions to ask when choosing a projector to purchase . I like the 3 questions but would add in a 4th - will you be traveling with your projector? If the answer is yes you need to include the size, weight and carrier options for the projector you are considering. I apologize for not posting for a couple of weeks. I took a vacation away from the computer, blogging and any other responsibilities.

It’s “a laser projector that turns any flat surface into an auto-focused and image-adjusted 10-inch touchscreen with WVGA resolution thanks to its laser- (not LED) based pico projection engine dubbed HLP (holographic laser projection) and infrared touch-sensing system.” Obviously its uses go way beyond the tradition presentation-based projector, like in retail: If you’re looking for the future of presentation technology, you only need look as far as CSI Miami and its futuristic rainbow-lit headquarters. That’s where you’ll find image scanners

One thing I didn’t do that hit me out of nowhere was consider the less than optimal quality of the projector.  When I got to my example of a good corporate template, the template’s and the projector’s shortcomings became quite clear.  However, this projector has been notoriously difficult to calibrate and I should have remembered that.

If you’ve got a really large screen, or a room with strong light coming through the windows, rent a brighter projector and keep the lights up. I’m in a very dark place right now. Which makes me sound like some kind of moody, tortured Christian Bale Batman character, and nothing could be further from the truth.

They also gave me an amazing remote wireless projector adapter. This little device plugs into your USB port on one end, and the projector on the other, and voila, you have a wireless projector!
