Looking for a digital projector

Legacy_user

Hi , just like the title says, I am looking to buy a digital projector.
My budget is (preferably) under £200 and I am hoping to get it within the next 3 months.
I will be using it to project some of my smaller artworks and digital prints onto large canvases for scaling up & painting in acrylics or oils.
Does anyone have any recommendations, please?
Thanks,
Linda

There are old-fashioned overhead projectors on ebay going for £50 inc P&P, and I would think schools would be getting rid of loads now they're getting electronic whiteboards. Just print or trace your image on to acetate.

Check price/availability of lamp spares before buying, and good keystone correction would be essential for your application.

That also saves you carrying a computer to use it with.

Old style OHP's are available via Freecycle/Freegle for nothing. New projectors are coming down in price but you will still not get anything under £200 - but there are a lot starting at £300 ish. A good place to look is http://www.projectorpoint.co.uk/ who I used last year to buy an Optoma projector (£288).

You could look second hand and the usual auction sites but then you are at risk of getting one with a failed bulb which as stated are not cheap.
