Here are my first impressions with the Artograph Flare 100 LED projector.
Included are:
Remote
USB Drive
Card Adapter
HDMI Cable
AC Charger
Manuals
Case
Some interesting features:
Built in grids
Screen sharing
Rechargeable battery
Image controls
In my honest opinion, being only rated at 100 lumens this projector is really only meant for studio use. I will try and get some ambient light pictures to show exactly what I am talking about. Even in my studio, I still have to shut all the lights off to get a good solid image.

Lights off:
But even with the low lumens, this projector is very sharp and crisp once you get the lighting situated.
The majority of the built in grids, I believe, are useless. The Rule of Thirds and a couple different sized grid patterns are all that I could possibly find useful. But a neat feature none the less.
I haven't messed with the image controls too much, but I will be sure to update as I experiment.
One of my favorite features is having a remote and the BLANK button. Somewhat self explanatory, this button removes the image from the projection while leaving the led on. This allows you to see what you have and have not traced. Very handy!
I did try the screen sharing with my Android phone, it was finicky and poor quality. I will give it another chance and see if I can get images of what problems I am having.
I will keep everyone updated as I use the projector more and more.
