This is probably the wrong place to post this, but I couldn't find anywhere more suitable, so I'll go ahead anyway.
I am shopping around for a data projector. There are dozens to choose from. I've studied the relevant pages on Amazon, and in every case they say the same thing: that the project is "not suitable for PowerPoint".
Can anyone explain what that means? Surely, one of the main uses of a projector is for PowerPoint presentations? And isn't a PowerPoint slide just an image - a bunch of pixels - just like a JPEG, for example? How does the projector even know that PowerPoint was used to produce the image?
Should I buy one of these projectors anyway? Or is there a particular make and model someone can suggest that doesn't have this restriction?
Thanks in advance.
Mike
