We mounted a projector to our common room ceiling to use during seminars and similar demonstrations.
Simply hook up your laptop's VGA port to the cable hanging down from the chain and turn on the projector, it should find your input automatically. HDMI or other modern inputs are unfortunately not accepted (we do have an VGA to HDMI adapter, note the potential problem with Windows devices though!).
Another thing that's a bit annoying at the moment: it needs to be turned on and off with a stick, we don't have the remote for it...
Potential upgrades:
- universal remote
- adapters for VGA (male) to other video ports (male)
- bigger & brighter model (once the current one breaks)
We got a new projector: a panasonic PT-F300NTE

Stream from a Mobile Device
If you want to use your mobile device, panasonic provides apps for both Android and iOS. Please select your operating system on this page. In a first test it kind of worked, but has not been very fast or stable (not even talking about user-friendliness). However, it might be enough if you just want to put an image to the wall.
