I wanted something a little more powerful so I got an ASUS Chromebox and put XBMC on it. Mainly wanted something I could plug an external hard drive into and play videos natively without streaming. Works great!

You want this one:

Optoma HD26 Projector Review

MHL. Mobile High-Definition Link is becoming more and more common on home theater projectors, especially those aimed at the portable and home entertainment markets. MHL allows you to connect mobile devices (such as your phone or tablet) or internet streaming devices (such as a Roku stick or Chromecast) without running any additional wires, essentially transforming the HD26 into a complete Netflix streaming solution with the use of a single power cable.

I have used MHL to a television HDMI input with my samsung galaxy S2 and note 2

for both I also needed to plug in the USB power supply to the MHL cable split

need to be able to DLNA via AC wifi to the projector

just googling projectors for the fun of it

^I got the BenQ 1070 2 years ago as it was the pick of the $1000 HD projectors at that time.

That article has its successor the BenQ 1075 as still the number 1 pick.

I am still on the original bulb with 3 hours a day viewing.

Cannot go wrong with that one.

Now I just gotta source one of these.
