As more and more people discover the luxury of home theater experience, computer projectors have become increasingly popular.
Projectors for computers are also becoming essential for business presentations. The use of laptops and iPads has also made popular laptop projectors and iPad projectors.
Modern day PC projectors are very portable which allows you to easily move the gadget to any location. For the business travellers, portability is a must. Movie fans will also find them very easy to carry to a friend’s house for movie viewings or for game playing.
There are many types of computer projectors on the market today. They range from data projectors best suited for business presentations, to home theatre projectors for leisure, and multimedia projectors for games, movies as well as for the workplace.
Contrast ratio is another important element which is the ratio between the brightness of the brightest and darkest areas. The higher the contrast ratio the more vibrant the colors and more detail will show up in the darker area of the screen.
Some people make the mistake of thinking that a projector with brighter output is better. But it all depends on the environment. A 1,000 to 2,000 lumens for a home theater projector used in a dark room will give you a bright image. In a well-lit setting, 2,000 to 3,000 lumens is a good range.
Resolution of a projector is one of the elements you should look for when purchasing a projector. For data images such as a PowerPoint presentation, a low 800×600 resolution is good enough. A lower resolution projector will save you money. However, a higher resolution projector will be better for viewing detailed images such as movies and games. For home theatre projectors, a resolution of 1080p is preferred for full HD experience.
