There is a craze these days about watching everything on a big screen whether you are working in an office or you’re at home. At home you want to watch movies on a big screen for a cinema type experience without leaving the comfort of your own sofa. From a business aspect you now want your presentation on a big screen to add the wow factor in front of your colleagues.

There are two types of categories of projector; one is for the home and the other for business purposes. If you are looking for home projectors then the most common brands are the following;

BenQ

InFocus

Sharp

Optoma

Panasonic

Mitsubishi

Proxima

MEC

These brands have offered their services for home projectors for many years now and they do it in a professional fashion and provide you with the best technology available.

If you are looking for a business projector there are some other brands which include Sharp PG-B10S and Epson Powerlite 81P. There are many other brands which you can choose from and they now supply you with additional accessories such as a carrying case. In some cases it comes with a laser pointer to facilitate you in your presentations. These extras give you the freedom of being able to take them with you anywhere as they are completely portable not to mention convenient.

The most important thing to look for when buying a projector is their projection technology. Some projectors use LCD technology whilst others use DLP. LCD projectors present a really vivid colored image and their image is very sharp. They are widely used for business purposes while the DLP technology projectors are also really bright and offer a very crisp video performance, high contrast and brightness makes them perfect for home theater use.

DLP projectors are lot lighter than LCD projector as they use a single digital chip. The other thing that you need to consider is your projector’s resolution. Resolution is expressed in a number of pixels. The first value indicates the horizontal display and the 2nd value indicates the vertical display. The higher these values are the sharper the image will be. You should choose a projector with a maximum resolution if you are choosing this for business purposes as sharpness is key if you are displaying numbers and words on the projector. This will add to your professionalism and slickness of your presentation.

Normally projector’s weigh between 6-9 pounds with all the accessories included but as said before if you are choosing one for business purpose then chose a lighter version so it is easier for you to carry it around.
