You should add power strip and extension cords. I had to compromise due to budget but I have an Acer x1261 3D Ready projector that I can hold in one hand but it is not LED. It is DLP I am happy with it, it gets a wonderful picture (better than some more expensive models) and has a long lamp life. For a portable PA System, I purchased a Hisonic HS122B-HL 40 Watts Rechargeable & Portable PA System with Built-in Dual Wireless Microphones. It offers handheld, button and headset mics. Sounds great for only $180. Very light weight. Eileen _______________________________ Eileen A Souza, P.L.C.G.S.
