I'm considering the 3M Mobile Projector MP410 for my upcoming presentations and would love some insights from anyone who's used it. I'm particularly curious about the picture quality—does the 300 lumens really hold up in various lighting conditions, especially in typical meeting rooms?

Also, how's the sound quality? I want to ensure that any audio content comes through clearly without needing extra speakers.

Since it's compact, I appreciate the idea of portability, but does the system feel robust enough for regular use? Lastly, are there any potential downsides you've encountered, like issues with connectivity or limitations with the onboard memory?

Thanks for your help!
