ViewSonic PJ256D

Weighing only 2.2 pounds, the ViewSonic PJ256D is small and light enough to bring along without a second thought even when you're not sure you'll need it

No audio. Needs up to two minutes to cool down between turning it off and unplugging the power cord.

Video from a DVD player also fared well. With no onboard audio, you're limited to silent movies unless you have a separate sound system. But the lack of audio seems a small enough price to pay for a projector that's as convenient to carry with you, as...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Excellent product;

Run & buy it...

small, very light, very easy to use & set-up; also low priced. Product shipped immediately and arrived sooner than expected. Worked right out of the box

Have to press the "Power Off" button twice to shut it off. But it's not a big deal at all, can live with it
