A projector is a device that uses light to project a figure or image onto a surface.
This is frequently a light-colored surface that can be a projection screen, a white screen,
or even a wall. In large gatherings, projectors can be used instead of a television or monitor.
Projectors are classified into four types based on their display capabilities. From here, you will
have a brief overview on which one would best suit your needs. So that you can get a clearer
picture of which to buy, here are the four types of projectors and our top recommendation for each.
The first type of projector is the Home Theater Projectors.
This is for those who are willing to invest the time and money to recreate the dark-watching
experience of a professional movie theater in their own house because nothing compares to a
genuine, ultra-high-definition film and video experience. Since home theater projectors are
intended to be watched in dim light, they are built to provide the highest possible black levels
and contrast. Meanwhile, the picture quality has been improved to avoid excessive brightness,
as an extremely bright display in a dark room would cause eyestrain and a headache before long.
For Home Theater Projectors, our team recommends the Optoma Home Theater Projector.
Since this is a DLP projector, its brightness rating of 3600 lumens. The image modes of the
Optoma are likewise less versatile, with the "bright" mode producing an unusable green image.
The "vivid" and "cinema" modes are far better. However, if you're watching during the day,
you'll probably need to close your shades, especially if you don't have a screen. In
addition, the Optoma has good contrast, resulting in a vivid image. Finally, the fan is louder than
Optoma's built-in 3W speaker. If the projector is close to your head, you can still hear the
fan even at maximum volume. However, if this projector is only going to be used in your
bedroom, the speaker will work like a charm. The images produced by Optoma Home Theater
Projector are among the best. Despite being one of the more affordable options,
the images still stand out. If you're watching in a dark room with external speakers,
the Optoma will deliver a great image at a price that's hard to beat for its quality.
The second type of projector is the Office Projectors.
This projector is brighter than home theater models and is suitable for both business meetings
and classrooms. Some business projectors are particularly lightweight and portable,
making them perfect for business travels or seminars. When you choose portability
over brightness or image resolution, you may discover that you have to make a compromise.
If your office projector will only be used in one room, invest in a model that will
make your presentations stand out. The brightness range of these office projectors is impressive,
reaching up to 5500 ANSI Lumens. The Miracast Wireless Projection feature is available on some
VX Series projectors, allowing you to project from your laptop or even your smartphone.
For the Office Projectors, our team recommends the ViewSonic Home and Office Projector.
The patented 6-segment color wheel and dynamic lamp control capabilities
of ViewSonic's proprietary SuperColor Technology provide a wide color spectrum and strikingly
beautiful visuals. This projector produces brilliant images in practically every scenario,
thanks to its 3,800 lumens and good contrast ratio. Users can lower projection brightness
by up to 70% in SuperEco mode, which also extends light life by up to 15,000 hours. This projector
produces images that are smooth and without lag. It has a 16ms input latency, which allows for
faster frame-by-frame action. This projector, which is equipped with the latest HDMI, can
connect to any HDMI-enabled device and can display 3D images directly from 3D Blu-ray players.
With advanced audio-visual features, flexible connectivity options, and affordable prices, the
ViewSonic Home and Office Projector is ideal for use in education and small business environments.
The third type of projector is the Portable Projectors.
They are handheld devices that combine projector technology into small and compact devices. Also
known as pico projectors, mobile projectors, and micro beamers, their invention is direct
response to the ever-growing market for portable technology. They are portable devices that are
ideal for anyone who needs to give a presentation on the go. The majority of these projectors use
LED lights, which aren't particularly bright, so expect anything between 20 and 1000 lumens,
depending on the model you choose. The average pico projector weighs only 3 pounds
and is small enough to carry easily in a purse or briefcase for both personal and professional use.
They're best for showing presentations, movies, and sports games to small groups of people.
For Portable Projectors, our team recommends the PVO Mini Portable Projector. This projector
functions similarly to a television or computer monitor. Any electronic device can effectively
connect to the projector, which is regulated by the HDMI adapter cable rather than our projector.
HDMI, USB, audio, Micro SD, TF, and AV interfaces are among the many ports available.
It can also link to a variety of media devices, including TV boxes, laptops, desktop computers,
digital cameras, and HDMI-enabled devices, to play video, TV series, photo sharing, and games, among
other things. It is worth noting that a power adaptor is required to operate this projector,
but it can also be charged through micro-USB from a phone charger, car charger, or power pack.
A PVO Mini Portable Projector is the best birthday gift you can give to your children. This projector
also supports 1080p, crisper, and HD videos and images, which is ideal for watching movies.
The last type of projector is the Short Throw Projectors.
This type of throw is typically seen from projectors positioned on the wall or closer to the
wall anywhere that the picture will be projected and provides large images while reducing shadows
and eye glare. Short-throw projection is defined as a distance between the projector and the screen
of 3 to 8 feet. Short-throw projectors are commonly used in classrooms and work
well with digital whiteboards. Additionally, they typically have a maximum brightness of
3000 lumens because they are designed for screens that are 8 feet wide or less.
For Short Throw Projectors, our team recommends the BenQ Short Throw Projector.
The motorized sliding "sunroof" that covers the lens mechanism while not in use is the most
noticeable physical feature in this projector. It shines when it comes to performance,
which reflects BenQ's significant DLP projection experience. This projector provides excellent
picture quality for TV shows and movies in a living room-friendly design and at screen
sizes of up to 120 inches, which TVs cannot match. On the plus side, it works with the projector's
built-in remote control. It also has two HDR picture modes: HDR10 and the Filmmaker Mode,
which improves the image for suitable movies and is found on some other projectors these days.
BenQ comes "fashionably late" to the 4K UST projector party and impresses with the sharp,
colorful picture quality. Most importantly, it distinguishes itself from the competition
by maintaining superb color accuracy at high brightness.
