Which projector should I buy?

Question

I need a projector to show power point presentations as well as movies. I need to use the projector in day light as well as in closed rooms. I do not have a big budget. Could you please help in deciding which one to buy? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Projectors can be classified various ways (e.g. by primary use, by resolution, by technology).  Almost all projectors will readily accept a computer input.

I'm not going to try to recommend a specific model since you need a brand/model locally available and supported.

You need one with emphasis on brightness, portability, and secondarily contrast ratio and resolution.

A low budget (prices start at about $500) precludes higher resolution projectors, and tends to push you toward a DLP based "business" projector.  Given your wish to use it in a lighted location you also need brightness (2000 lumens minimum).

See the link for some popular choices. Prices will be in the $700+ range for most. Look at the lower resolution models first since they will be a bit less expensive. Note this sight has many reviews, a database of available projectors, information on projectors, etc.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The Epson home 10 is a good choice at $1,299 but that might be over your budget. Hope this helps.
