FORGOT YOUR DETAILS?

Which Video Projection System is Right For You?

If you are looking to impress a large crowd with your presentations, then an investment in video projection systems might just be the right option for you to consider. Video projection systems that complement your space, taste and requirements are a must have for those who want to present clippings, statistics, messages and general propositions to a large audience. In this article we look at some of the things one must consider before investing in a video projection system. While it is obvious that personal preferences will account for much of your choice, there are a few details that should not be overlooked if one wants to invest in a device that can serve both short term and long term goals.

 

Top Tips to Buy the Right Video Projection System

The following is a list of things one should keep in mind before buying a video projection system.

 

1. Choosing the Right Screen and Room Size

Projectors require a fairly large sized room. There are two things that need to be kept in mind while trying to see if the projector is suitable for your work space. One is that the room has to be spacious enough and the other is that it has to be at a height apt enough for installing the projector. Since the idea is to present videos or clippings to a large audience, the distance between the screen and the projector is of primary importance. Generally, the ideal distance is twice that of the width of the screen. As one might have guessed, a considerably large screen necessitates a larger room.

 

2. Aspect Ratio

Other than the size of the room and projector screen, the other thing that one must keep in mind while buying a video projecting system is something also known as aspect ratio of the projected ratio. The best aspect ratio of an image is either 16:10 or 16:9.

 

3. Resolution

Since the projector will be used to show images to a target audience over a larger area, the resolution of these images must ideally be of high quality. For those who make it a daily practice of showing presentations with text in them, a resolution of XGA (1024 x 768) is recommended. This is a good limit to stick to since it affords a crisp and detailed image. However, for those who wish to opt for larger screens, a higher resolution of WXGA (1280 x 800) or HD (1920 x 1080) might be a better option.

 

4. Brightness

Projectors used to covey messages and clippings to a wider audience need to be bright enough for comfortable visibility. In addition, if the space where you have located your projector is prone to receiving stray light rays, then investing in a device that can generate brighter images might be a good idea. For large areas, looking at a projector with 5000 lumens might be a sensible decision. If the strength of the crowd is larger, opting for 6000 lumens is also a good idea. However, as with most things, the cost tends to rise with the rise in picture quality.

 

5. Portable Projectors

Lighter projectors are not only an asset when it comes to a domestic situation, but they might also be a good investment in larger commercial situations. Portable projectors are handy, easy to use and easy to maintain. They can be transported at will and by investing in such an innovative model the chances are that you will be able to reach out to a more versatile audience. So, for instance, if you wish to present to an audience that cannot be fitted into a cramped conference room; you can easily carry the projector with you and deliver your message elsewhere. These are a good option for people who wish to address a wider variety of people.

While buying video projection system, one must keep in mind that with varying features and benefits there are significant fluctuations in price. Even when one has successfully dealt with the financial aspect of things, there are still other features such as size, durability and frequency of use to consider. The smartest move to consider before buying a projector is to get the company to install a trial version in the designated space. If it works according to your satisfaction then you would have made a well researched investment worthy of your time and money.
