Projector Selection


Last week, I met one of our customers at Hyderabad for a requirement of Projector. He is very knowledgeable and strong at basics of technology.  He was asking me that there are so many companies offering projectors with different features, How to choose one which is best suitable for their meeting room? I had a good talk with him explaining the key features of the projector and why it suits his need? After installing the projector on Monday I thought this may be a query for other customers too. It is better to make awareness all my customers through our blog where even my colleagues can know about it and they will share or interact with their customers too.
As we are in the era of smart world, most of us carry a smartphone, tab, ipad or laptop. Hence it is become necessity for a projector to be in advance technology. So what to look for in a projector.
1.    Technology: whether the projector is a LCD/DLP technology. Based on your projection hours you have to calculate and proceed further. LCD is an advanced technology than DLP.
2.    Lamp Brightness: Check out the Lumens or the lamp brightness of the projector (For Ex: 2200 lumens or 2600 lumens). As per the brightness you will get picture quality. It gets updated according to the technology.
3.    Contrast ratio: It depends upon on the both technologies DLP and LCD. Based on the technology selection it will differ. But high contrast ratio is really good for picture quality and projection.
4.    Lamp life: Most important parameter of the projector, you have to find out the exact lamp life in hours for the projector not in economy mode. (For Ex: 4000 hrs. and 5000 hrs. on Economy mode). Based on your projection usage you have to calculate for the lamp life.
5.    Zoom and Focus: How much zoom and focus does the projector have? Much is the zoom and focus much is the clarity. Whether the zoom is a digital or manual. Digital can make you relax and by sitting at the corner of the hall you can zoom in and out.
6.    Any patented technology: You should look for any patented technology does the projector have? For Ex: Panasonic have Day light view technology as patented on their name. This may add another feature for your product. This can help you to project even if you have all the lights on your room.
7.    Resolution: You have to check whether the projector have XGA or WXGA resolution compatibility. As the present trend of laptops have these resolutions support only. All the advanced laps have WXGA as their default resolution.
8.    Key stone correction: whether the projector have key stone correction or not and it is auto or manual. This will be helpful for adjusting the screen size and shape.
9.    Connectivity: As discussed earlier we might have laptop, tab or ipad in the room or sometimes it may happen that we do not want any cables to get connected to the projector for presentation. Hence for those conditions you have to check whether the projector have wireless connectivity, USB, VGA 1 &2, DVI-D or I, HDMI, Audio In and Out, LAN and on.
These features are much important for a projector. Whether the projector is going fit over ceiling or on table, depending upon the placing and room dimensions we have to select the projector. Even the only experts can provide you better product with the fitting conditions.
