The 20 Best Projectors 2018


In this opportunity, we will talk about a very broad topic that is becoming more and more important; Whether in the workplace, academic or even in free time, a projector is a very useful tool.

And it can not only be used for presentations or presentations, it can also be easily installed to watch a movie at home or even to play a video game with an image that is much bigger.

 

All the projectors that we present below can meet the needs of the most demanding user , and most importantly, they cover a fairly large price range, adapting to the budget of each reader.

Before starting, it is important to clarify that any of the projectors on this list  can be used to project movies, watch television, play video games, make presentations, and any other activity that merits a large-scale image.

Now, let's start the list of the 20 Best Projectors:

This projector of the Sony brand, is one of the cheapest of this company, despite this, it is of the highest quality . In addition, if we compare it with other mid-range Full HD projectors, this is far above the others.

Like the vast majority (perhaps all) of Sony's proposals, it uses SXRD technology , the implementation of Sony's particular technology, which allows high-quality images to be created in bright environments.

This is a powerful team of the Sony 4K range, available for users of a small budget, but who want to have a team of very good quality.

It is important to clarify that, although it seems that it only has support for 4K content, it is a Full HD device , just like other equipment of the same brand, a little more powerful and more expensive.

It has a luminous power of 1700 lumens, lens shift system, optical zoom x1.6 and only produces noise of 21 dB, which makes it a fairly complete and silent , which will not disturb any activity in which we are using .

This equipment offers two interesting processing functions : the Reality Creation system and the Motionflow engine. The first, designed to recreate the textures and colors lost with the coding of the image, and the second that allows to reduce the vibrations in action scenes.

Finally, a feature that deserves mention, is the Dynamic Lamp Control for 3D lamp opening system, which is able to synchronize the brightness of the projector lamp with the opening and closing of the shutter.

Four tips for choosing a projector


Projectors are a basic element for many companies that have to make presentations. And the truth is that being a basic element to make a good presentation is often not given the necessary importance. That's why we want to offer four tips to choose a project in the company . As always, the right choice will depend on the needs of each company.

Fundamentally, it will depend on the use that we are going to give it . If it is a projector that we will transfer with us when we present, or we have a room to project in our company and we will leave it there. In this case we must consider if we have the appropriate infrastructure, that is, the appropriate plugs for the projector, but also a table or a ceiling support, the distance to which we are going to project, etc.


Luminosity and resolution of the projector
They are two aspects that have a lot to do with the room in which we are going to project . In this case, if we have a room where we can have good dark conditions we will not need the projector to have a great light power and we can choose lower ranges that have lower LUMENS ratios, from 2500 to 3000.

If we are going to project in different rooms, where we do not have darkness or we are going to move from one place to another, we will be interested in this factor being as high as we can afford. The more LUMENS is better projected with external light .

The same can be said of the screen resolution we can achieve . Here depends more on what we are thinking about projecting, since it is not the same as a bar that aims to offer football matches on large screens that a company that will make presentations, some video, but nothing that requires a resolution or in HD . We must also take into account the projection distance, and the diagonal we intend to achieve for the result to be good.

Consumption and spare parts
This question is fundamental if we have to choose between conventional lamps and LEDs. In recent times the LED technology has been incorporated into the lamps of the projectors . The advantages it has are a much lower power consumption and a duration that will take us to not have to change the projector lamp during its useful life, since the number of hours it gives us is very high.

In turn, the LED spotlights have a lower noise level , since they need less cooling than a conventional lamp. However, their handicap compared to traditional lamps is that they do not reach such good levels of luminosity and if we are going to project in rooms with natural light they may stay a bit short. In addition, for the same brightness its price is usually somewhat higher, of course it is compensated if we have to change a lamp throughout the life of the projector.

Projector connections
Here we follow the rule of how much more better, but we must also take into account from where we are going to project. If our goal is to have it on a table next to the laptop, we do not need big specifications. With HDMI connections are already frequent in this type of projectors, so a cable will be enough for video and sound. But we can always resort to VGA and RCA connections.

If we are going to place a projector on the ceiling of the room we should look for network or wireless connections that allow us to emit the images from our equipment without having to connect them by means of a cable to it. Many projectors have this feature, so a network point, which is usually close to electrical connections is enough to provide infrastructure to it.

Finally, a very extended option is the USB connection to project the images we have in our memory or external hard drive without the need to carry a laptop. This feature is very comfortable if we have to take the projector from one place to another, since in this way it is not necessary to move the laptop too. In this way, it will be enough for us to have a socket to be able to make the presentation, reducing much the logistics necessary to project.

Presentation modes
It is not just about making a presentation but about doing it well . A projector that adjusts automatically to the images we issue, that has an autofocus, fits the screen and is not distorted is one of the main issues. Of course it has a remote control that allows us to move around the room.
Many projectors incorporate their own presentation software, so that it helps us to make presentations quickly. It will not help to reduce the preparation time we need when making the presentation or projection, so when we have to do it outside of our companies it can be very helpful.

There are more features that we can take into account. These are just some of them that try to help you choose. Then it will depend on the conditions of each one . If the projector will be fixed in the room or we have to move through different rooms of our company, if we have to go out to external customers with him, or what we want to project are issues that we must have clear so as not to make mistakes in the election.
