  "account": "The cheap projector market exploded a few years ago, with prices ranging from $50 to over $500. I got a $100 unit with HDMI and pre-installed Roku for watching movies outdoors. This led me to believe that a more expensive projector could provide even better experiences. As my living room TV showed signs of aging, I revisited the idea of getting a projector. Google TV projectors caught my attention, as they have received positive reviews and include Google TV, reducing setup hassles. After thorough research, I concluded that investing the same amount in a \"dumb\" projector might be a wiser choice.",
