You have to watch out for low resolutions with the cheap and cheerful
ones. The claimed 720p and 1080p is often complete mince, with a
native panel inside of 800x600.
My own small one is only that, and while it will be getting fitted
with a 20 or 30W (or greater) LED assembly over winter, I'm only using
it as a test bed for something better later on.
I had already built an overhead variant, using a stripped monitor
panel and that gave me 720p, which was worthwhile for a couple of
years, but it's a big, clunky thing and not portable.
Small, neat and cool, is the thing. And ceiling mountable.
