there are two choices:

1.  a flat-panel that sits on top of a normal transparancy-type overhead
projector.  XGA resolutions cost around 3000 bucks (1024 x 768).

2.  a shoebox-sized gadget with the LCD and projector light source in one
small device.  These go for about 6000 bucks at XGA resolutions.

In either case, brightness is a critical issue, with more lumens == more
bucks.  You need a _bright_ light source unless you are working in a dark
room.  I use type 2 above all the time in my classes...  works well...
