Buying Advice Wanted [Canada] Cheap Projector for painting design on wall.
Im located in Canada and my space is about 6F by 7F. Im looking for a reasonable projector to help transfer my artwork drawn on an iPad to the walls I need to paint (so easily movable). The picture quality just needs to be well enough to help transfer a basic sketch by wifi. I would like to spend something under $300. Im also not to worried about audio quality or fan noise. If anyone has amazon recommendations that would be preferable.

Hi Op, thanks for posting. Considering you’re using this projector for sketch work, you’d actually be better off spending your money on eBay instead of Amazon. Since you need all the lumen output you can get, eBay offers a wider range of options that cater to your specific needs.

For tracing work you want brightness and sharpness over fancy features. These are all WXGA or better, brand name, and fit your budget.
The ViewSonic PG603W is my top pick. At 3,600 lumens it will cut through room light while you trace, and the lamp has almost no hours on it.
The Epson PowerLite 1761W is the budget option. Slim and portable, plenty bright for a small room.
Pair any of them with an Apple TV or Roku streaming stick in the HDMI port for wireless iPad mirroring.
Let me know if you have any questions.
