Default Projector Thoughts ......

What do you guys do when you want to create a 'slide show' with digital ?

I'm looking for an inexpensive projector that with support at a minimum, USB and HDMI connectivity. having a built in card reader would be ideal. Any recommendations ??

can't you just hook your laptop into a large tv? some tv's even have a usb port and you can load pics onto a usb stick and just plug it in.

Drew, I work off a desk top, so no. Being old(and old school) I still prefer a 'screen' to project my images on which gives me much more flexibility for 'how and where'.

sounds good, i have no experience with them but have seen mini projectors on youtube that would fit the bill. they can even display vids and some have speaker built in.

Just recently purchased a Goodee YG600 Plus. Trying to work through issues with it reading pics I've installed on a thumb drive, getting error message saying 'the file is not supported' ?? I've reached out to Goodee support, waiting to hear back ....

If you cannot get that to work and/or if you want a simple alternative you can use a "wireless display adapter" and hook up your phone/laptop/computer wirelessly to most any type of TV/Display made in the past 20 years. See this link below as an example.
