      I don't even know where to start with this, honestly.

      This isn't my thing, I don't give a damn about projectors. Ohhh we want wireless projection.... Um ok..... why though?

        So how does connecting over WiFi allow a laptop so share the projector? Wouldn't you still have to install an App?

        If no, can't the projector join your local network?

        Most of the ones I am actually familiar with do require the app. Some of them will allow you to be on the wired network and project to them as well.

          You do have to install an app, which searches the network for any projectors on that lan, and then it connects.

            I have seen projectors with built in APs that will connect you to your corporate network... Just wire in an ethernet cable to the projector and it works that way. I never got to use them though.

            Yea, expect this unit doesn't have a Ethernet port, pure WiFi.

            Which is can broadcast it's own Wireless signal.

              Which this unit would work, if it had a damn ethernet port.

              But since it doesn't support WPA2-Ent and RADIUS it's stuck on our Guest network..

              So it's useless for the purpose.

                  When they refuse to even show the price..... 0_1459455923450_chrome_2016-03-31_16-24-56.png

                  You know you're out of your price range...

                    worthwhile projectors are just expensive!!!
                    We've been suffering with a SVGA one here for years.

                      @Dashrender I've always wondered how expensive the old SGI meeting rooms were to equip.

                          Oh, I guarantee the computer running all that would retail for much more than that! The one I actually saw had 3 12' projection screens, mics at every seat, and 4 control stations in back, all driven by a single Origin 3000. This would have been back in 1999.
