The $167 projector arrived and I was blown away by what it would play from a thumb drive. The directions were lacking (it pretty much had an arrow pointing to the projector with a caption that said projector) but it didn't take long to click enough buttons to get it to do stuff. As reported by others, I was a little naïve about the distance of the throw. My guess is that the projector at the office has better optics that allows for a much broader throw range and might be why it cost thousands of dollars. Anyway I got the roaches and pumpkins from AtmosFX watched for hours and am completely hooked. It's 3AM and I'm headed outside with an extension cord and an off-white silk bed sheet (don't tell the wife) to see what it looks like. I'm pretty sure it complies with the no power tools before dawn restraining order.
