I'm an artist who projects video into transparent objects at a short distance (2' - 5'), and I'm looking to buy a projector of my own (of course, I'm on a budget). Looking at models like this one:

This question is likely off the beaten path, but any opinions are most appreciated!!

Thanks and Happy New Year!

PS: One important detail: I usually work in 4:3, not the 16:9 I see noted in these pocket projectors. Lower lumens may be OK due to shorter throw, and the longer bulb life is of course great...
I'm a novice in shopping for these...
