Projector
Projectors - $1,000 and under

These projectors are for churches with a small budget but with the needs of a larger church.  There are many, many more projectors for less than $1,000 but I have limited these to my favourites and with a minimum of 3,000 lumens.  It is my opinion that to purchase anything less may not be a wise decision for the long term.
