For the ludite crowd who get absolutely confused with hooking up anything to a projector this is a god-send. 1 remote, no cables, no screw ups, and best of all, no calls from my mom asking why she can't get the picture to show up. Built in speakers with sufficient power to feed a classroom. Score!

This is perfect for schools that are replacing legacy "TV stands" (carts with TVs and VCR/DVD players) with bigger and more versatile projectors. The USB in means taking digital content from premium online services (like UnitedStreaming) and porjecting it won't need an expensive laptop that really has just been getting used as an expensive media player.

This WILL sell to schools in good numbers.
