The range of projectors available in the market can simply confuse anybody tasked with procuring a video projector today. There are so many features and selections available for different needs and specifications. The following discussion will supply can you with sufficient data that can enlighten you on your decision.
Before even going to an electronics dealer, make sure to take note of the seating capacity, the area of the room, the probable position of the projector in relation to the room, the lighting requirements, etc. If there is an existing screen, take note of the size, type, and location. Pick the probable positions for mounting it in order to identify the distance from the screen to the projector and the kind of mounting appliances needed.

Then you have to identify what requirements are needed from the system, whether live video feeds are to be used. The equipment needed for computer or video player connections are different from those that utilize live cameras.
Think about the light output that is required of this projector. The price for these devices have gone down since it first came out so theres no need to hold back on the lighting output. The minimum level adequate is 2000 lumens. This output is already bright enough to illuminate a screen of small to medium size clearly, that is if the ambient lighting can be controlled. When your screen length is 8 ft or less, just dim the lights or draw the window blinds and 2000 to 2500 lumens will be sufficient. Then again, if it is not possible to control the ambient lighting, the minimum light output should start at 3200 lumens depending on the screen area.
Think about the physical measurements of the projector. The portability of the device comes into question if you plan on moving the unit from one room to another such as in a classroom setting or if you plan on bringing the unit with you on the road such as seminar engagements. In these cases, a fairly small unit is required. Look for a unit that weighs not more than ten pounds.
Choose a projector that gives a 5-yr warranty so that replacement of the bulbs will not be a problem.
If you still dont have a screen, you have a selection of four types: a portable screen, a fixed-frame screen, a pull-down screen, or an electric screen.
