Projectors have come a long way from the days when the most useful way to categorize them was by their weight class. Today there are any number of more meaningful kinds of categories, including intended use (business presentations, home theater, game playing), technology (LCD, DLP, LCOS), throw distance (how close to the screen you can place the projector), and more. Here are some questions that will help you to find a projector with the right features and performance for your needs.
What Kind of Images Do You Plan to Show?
There are basically four kinds of images you can show on a projector: data, video, photos, and games. Any projector can show any kind of image, but it's important to understand that any given projector can handle one kind of image well without necessarily doing a good job on other kinds. Naturally, you'll want a projector that does a good job with the kind of images you plan to show.
