How to choose your video projector?

1- For which use, domestic or professional, will you use your video projector?
You need to project films, for a home cinema, or require professional projection for meetings, conferences, or in classrooms, with fairly regular or even intensive use. Depending on your requirements, we can recommend a suitable video projector, as their use is also linked to the lighting in the room. In fact, for a home cinema in a darkened room, 2000 lumens may suffice, however, if the room is somewhat brighter, then you must increase the limens and select a video projector with an output of at least 3000 lumens. For installation on a table, our ultra-compact pico or mini projectors project an image ranging from 19” to 120”. If you use your video projector very frequently, choose a laser projector without a lamp, which may be limited in terms of the number of hours of use.

2- Is your room dimly lit or very bright during projection?
In the case of a dimly lit room, choose an output of around 2000 lumens, but if the room is bright to very bright, you will have to increase the lumen output. A minimum of 3000 will be required for a well lit room and you can increase this to 5000 if the room is very bright.

3- What size of image will be projected by your video projector?
Here too, the larger the projected image, the the higher the output brightness you will require, i.e. in lumens. This is why, in large theatres or conference halls with large screens in excess of 4 metres, you will find very powerful video projectors with an output of as much as 50,000 lumens! Our video projectors have a maximum output of 6200 lumens, meaning they are better suited for screens with a maximum size of 3 metres, with a maximum projection distance of 10 metres, in a room with moderate lighting.

4- What type of content do you wish to project with your video projector?
Depending on the content to be projected, you will have to carefully choose your video resolution. For a film or video game, we recommend that you choose a video projector capable of projecting in WUXGA or Full HD, however, if you wish to project Excel tables, diagrams or business data, a simple XGA resolution will suffice.

5- What ports should your video projector have?
On the back of your video projector there are several ports, which allow you to connect various devices to your projector. All of our video projectors are equipped with VGA, HDMI (up to 3), USB, DVI, RJ45 and RS232 ports.
