The ViewSonic PLED-W800 has a good range of connection choices and loud audio for an LED-based mini projector, though it suffers from poor video quality.

Review of the Viewsonic PLED-W800 WXGA LED Projector for Mobile Presentation
Expert review by : John Archer (trustedreviews.com)
The ViewSonic PLED-W800 is, according to ViewSonic, that rarest of projector beasts: a highly practical, ultra-portable model that also sports enough picture quality and flexibility to support both business presentations and home entertainment use. All...
Bright for an ultra-portable projector ; Good colour and sharpness ; Built-in file reader
Uneven lighting ; Runs very noisily with the brightness high ; No built-in Wi-Fi
Expert review by : Jamie Carter (techradar.com)
A very portable DLP LED projector
HDMI, USB & SD card slots ; Portable design ; Plays PDF and Microsoft files
Requires Wi-Fi dongle ; Underpowered 2W speakers ; Lip-sync issue with video

Almost exactly 3 years ago one of the most exciting pieces of kit I had seen for some time crossed my desk. It was the ViewSonic PLED–W500, a tiny but surprisingly bright projector that used cool-running LEDs for illumination instead of a hot lamp....
The Achilles heel of any projector is the lamp. To burn bright it needs to burn hot, using a lot of juice and requiring a cooling fan. The fan uses yet more juice, as well as tending to add bulk to the assembly, and of course noise. The other catch is...

Small and with loads of connectivity options. Works with chromecast. Love the bit on the bottom that let's you attach it to a camera tripod. No more balancing on books and junk!
