Projector Tips

There are many digital projectors available and they are constantly dropping in price ($1000 - $10 000). However, when choosing a projector for yourself or your school there are a few practical things you should remember.

When choosing a projector you need to consider under what circumstances will you be presenting slide shows. The strength of a projector's brightness is measured in units called lumens. Projectors range between 650-5000 lumens. The higher the lumens the brighter the projector. Projectors that are less than 1000 lumens may not be great in a room with a lot of ambient light.

For a classroom you should consider buying a projector with greater than 1000 lumens. If the projector will be used for larger presentations, for 100 or more people, a projector with greater than 3000 lumens may be needed.
