Recommendation for an NEC projector below (thanks David). I can't find an NP 300, but we could get a lower spec NP115 for £275:

What means good?

Good = portable?
Good = reliable?
Good = durable?
Good = efficient?

The small projectors has got a limited lifetime.

Consider also that the 70% of cost is due to the lamp, when the lamp
is broken there is no sense to repair it.

In my case I have chosen the NEC solution:
http://www.necdisplay.com/Products/Series/?series=1b0806a6-284e-45e8-aaf4-588a76e5baf3

They are expensive but I have never had problems with them (easy to
implement, reliable and good quality).

After three years the HP is broken, the Benq has having problems of
setup with ATI drivers but NEC is still valid and seems to be bought
yesterday.
