					<description><![CDATA[<p>The best home theater projectors are the SONY VPL-HW40ES and the Epson Home Cinema 1440. If you need a high-resolution 4K projector consider the Sony VPLVW350ES.</p>
<p>The post <a href="https://reactual.com/home-theater/best-home-projectors-2016.html">The Best Home Theater Projectors</a> appeared first on <a href="https://reactual.com">Reactual</a>.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul>
<li>Make the most out of your home cinema experience with the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-VPLHW40ES-Theater-Gaming-Projector/dp/B00KZP717K/?tag=reactual-20">SONY VPL-HW40ES</a>, the best 3D projector available. It has a special gaming mode for a virtually lag-free playing experience, making it one of the all-around best home theater projectors on the market.</li>
<li>If you want only the best of the best picture quality in your theater, get the Sony <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-VPLVW350ES-Theater-Gaming-Projector/dp/B00SKK70VO/?tag=reactual-20">VPLVW350ES SXRD</a>. It projects true 4k Ultra HD resolution and has HD to 4k upscaling to make the most of your media collection.</li>
<li>Sports fans should purchase the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Cinema-Brightness-Theater-Projector/dp/B014D7XHR8/?tag=reactual-20">Epson Home Cinema 1440</a>. With an astonishing 4400 lumens, this projector can confidently project games in even the brightest ambient light. That means you can leave the blinds up for the day game and still get vibrant colors and crisp images.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The Details</h3>
<p>Date night for two at the movies can easily run over&nbsp;$60 dollars in an urban area once you factor in exorbitant ticket prices, concessions, and parking. All that and you risk sticky seats, texting teenagers, and chatty couples.&nbsp;Making your own home theater is becoming an increasingly affordable alternative to pricey and unreliable nights out at the movies, with quality projector prices falling and pixel counts increasing.</p>
<p>Once upon a time you needed a spacious, cave-like room to make owning a home projector a feasible entertainment option. But the proliferation of short-throw projectors and steadily rising lumen counts mean that projectors are no longer exclusive to suburban basements. Even apartment living rooms can benefit from the immersive experience of an HD projector. You just need to make sure to buy the right projector for you.</p>
<p>There are a couple factors to keep in mind when picking a projector. First, determine the brightness of your room and how large your screen will be. If you do have a windowless room without any source of natural light, you don&#8217;t need a high lumen (measure of brightness) count. Likewise, if your projector screen is less than&nbsp;100 inches, there is no need to pay up for a 4k resolution projector.</p>
<p>Since your projector will likely stay put in your house, things like portability and built-in audio playback aren&#8217;t a concern. Instead, consider whether the projector has low lag time, if it has 3D capability, whether it supports media streaming services, what its&nbsp;casting distance is, and&nbsp;image quality.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve identified&nbsp;a few of the best projectors for different consumers below:</p>
<h4>The Best 3D Projector</h4>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-VPLHW40ES-Theater-Gaming-Projector/dp/B00KZP717K/?tag=reactual-20"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10182" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Sony-VPL-HW40ES-Front-655x352.jpg" alt="Sony-VPL-HW40ES-Front" width="655" height="352" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Sony-VPL-HW40ES-Front-655x352.jpg 655w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Sony-VPL-HW40ES-Front-768x413.jpg 768w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Sony-VPL-HW40ES-Front-100x54.jpg 100w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Sony-VPL-HW40ES-Front.jpg 770w" sizes="(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /></a></p>
<p>If you are still deciding between an LCD TV and projector for your home theater, a few minutes with a high quality 3D projector will put an end to your waffling once and for all. The latest 3D projectors give a true approximation of the cinema multi-plex experience. Their grand&nbsp;size and gorgeous colors convey the 3D experience in a way that an LCD TV just can&#8217;t. Immerse yourself in three dimensions with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-VPLHW40ES-Theater-Gaming-Projector/dp/B00KZP717K/?tag=reactual-20</a>, the best 3D projector and gaming projector.</p>
<p>The HW40ES has an integrated 3D transmitter that works in unison with a 240Hz panel drive to create stunning and bright 3D images that is free of &#8221; < ="" a=""></a><a href="https://www.smart3dtvreview.com/crosstalk-ghosting/">crosstalk</a>,&#8221; the blurry illusion&nbsp;created by two different transmission channels. &nbsp;Like all 3D technology on the market, there is some loss in brightness when viewing in 3D.</p>
<p>A few alignment options give some flexibility in set up. Lens shifting allows for the projector to be slightly off center from the screen, though you will have to manually do any lens shifting.</p>
<p>The 1700 lumen lamp will last 5000 hours in eco or 2000 at the highest setting. In low and medium ambient lighting, this projector gives bright and crisp colors and HD black. The lumen count is a bit low for bright rooms, so this is best in dens and media rooms.</p>
<p>The HW40ES is sold as a &#8220;gaming projector,&#8221; and users have the option to use it in a gaming mode that is said to reduce lag. Reviewers have empirically proven that lag time is reduced to 24 milliseconds, which is one of the absolute best for gaming.</p>
<p>It does not come with 3D glasses, so you will need to invest in a pair that is compatible with Sony projectors.</p>
<h4>The Best 4k Projector</h4>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-VPLVW350ES-Theater-Gaming-Projector/dp/B00SKK70VO/?tag=reactual-20"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10186" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/4k-655x368.jpg" alt="4k" width="655" height="368" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/4k-655x368.jpg 655w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/4k-768x432.jpg 768w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/4k-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/4k-100x56.jpg 100w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/4k.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /></a></p>
<p>For those that want only the best image quality, sharpest contrast, and latest tech, a 4k projector is the way to go. 4k is the new gold standard for video resolution.&nbsp;The new video technology refers to the <a href="https://www.cnet.com/news/what-is-4k/">4,000 thousand pixels found alongside the horizontal line display</a>. Right now, Sony enjoys a total monopoly of the 4k home projector market.&nbsp;Of the 4k projectors Sony offers,&nbsp;the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-VPLVW350ES-Theater-Gaming-Projector/dp/B00SKK70VO/?tag=reactual-20">VPLVW350ES SXRD</a> is the best value for an unbeatable image.</p>
<p>This behemoth of a projector weighs close to 40 pounds and is a commanding 25.1 x 22.9 x 12.6 inches. Inside comes Sony&#8217;s SXRD 4k movie theater technology and anamophic 3D capability. This top of the line tech enables you to cast onto a larger screen than some 1080p projectors. Sony says that full brightness (1500 lumens) and resolution are achieved on a 150 inch screen.</p>
<p>Since 4k is relatively new, not a whole lot of media is specifically made for 4k resolution. This is definitely changing, but 1080p HD is still the standard as of now. Sony equipped with the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-VPLVW350ES-Theater-Gaming-Projector/dp/B00SKK70VO/?tag=reactual-20">350ES </a>with Super Resolution upscaling so you can enjoy your content in 4k in the meantime. It uses a &#8216;Mastered in 4k&#8217; algorithm to upscale HD movies and shows into 4k content. Sometimes this results in a noticeable difference, other times its hard to make a meaningful distinction.</p>
<p>The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-VPLVW350ES-Theater-Gaming-Projector/dp/B00SKK70VO/?tag=reactual-20">VPLVW350ES SXRD</a>&nbsp;comes with a 3 year warranty.</p>
<h4>The Best Projector for Football Fans</h4>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Cinema-Brightness-Theater-Projector/dp/B014D7XHR8/?tag=reactual-20"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10183" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/homecinema1440-655x399.jpg" alt="homecinema1440" width="655" height="399" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/homecinema1440-655x399.jpg 655w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/homecinema1440-768x468.jpg 768w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/homecinema1440-1024x624.jpg 1024w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/homecinema1440-100x61.jpg 100w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/homecinema1440.jpg 1268w" sizes="(max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /></a></p>
<p>Plan to marathon NFL games all Sunday? You will need an extra bright projector if you are going to set up your home theater in a room with any natural light sources to get the most our of your daytime viewing. The brightest home theater projector is the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Cinema-Brightness-Theater-Projector/dp/B014D7XHR8/?tag=reactual-20">Epson Home Cinema 1440, which has a staggering 4400 lumens.</a></p>
<p>This model uses 3LCD projectors for Full HD 1080p images&nbsp;that are rated three times brighter than other projectors in its class. This means you get stunning HD imagery in well-lit rooms, even with all the blinds up.</p>
<p>Easy slide horizontal keystone correction and automatic vertical keystone correction make alignment relatively easy. However, a lack of lens shift means you have to mount the projector dead center from where the image will be projected. This model is also lightweight and compact for a home theater projector, weighing just 13 pounds.</p>

<h3>The Details</h3>
<p>Projectors are replacing traditional televisions in more and more houses across the country. Why? A few factors account for this trend. The days of wire clusters and ultra bulky projectors is fading into distant memory. The newest projectors are equipped with a slew of wireless connectivity options, making them viable competitors of smart TVs.</p>
<p>But the real reason is that projectors provide an equally vivid and high definition image as TVs on a larger screen at a&nbsp;fraction of the price. You can get a 100 inch image on a 1080p full HD projector for less than a $1000. If you can even find a TV that size it will cost well into the thousands.</p>
<p>But not all 1080p projectors are made the same. Contrast ratio, lumen count (measure of brightness), and refresh rate all factor in to viewing experience. Finally, consider the size of your projection screen and the amount of space in your room. Ultra short throw projectors can cast a full HD image from inches away from the wall, but sacrifice brightness and contrast ratio.</p>
<p>Finally, rest assured that 1080p (1920 x 1080 native resolution) doesn&#8217;t suffer any signficant loss in picture quality over the much pricier 4k resolution projectors if your screen is going to be 100 inches or less. If you plan on going larger and have deep pockets, then 4k models might be worth a look.</p>
<h4>Best 1080p Projector For Bright Rooms: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Cinema-Brightness-Theater-Projector/dp/B014D7XHR8/?tag=reactual-20">Epson Home Cinema 1440</a></h4>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Cinema-Brightness-Theater-Projector/dp/B014D7XHR8/?tag=reactual-20"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10183" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/homecinema1440-655x399.jpg" alt="homecinema1440" width="655" height="399" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/homecinema1440-655x399.jpg 655w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/homecinema1440-768x468.jpg 768w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/homecinema1440-1024x624.jpg 1024w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/homecinema1440-100x61.jpg 100w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/homecinema1440.jpg 1268w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /></a></p>
<p>The<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Cinema-Brightness-Theater-Projector/dp/B014D7XHR8/?tag=reactual-20"> Epson Home Cinema 1440 1080p</a> definitively&nbsp;lays the misconception that projectors need cave-like darkness to&nbsp;rival LCDTV contrast to rest. That&#8217;s not the case with this &nbsp;thing. Far from it. It has a staggering 4400 lumens and uses 3LCD projectors to create vibrantly colored Full HD 1080p with rich contrast. Want to watch a 2pm NFL game on a 100 inch screen? Done. Want to watch Netflix while your spouse prepares dinner in the next room? They can leave the lights on, it&#8217;s won&#8217;t interrupt your viewing.</p>
<p>But the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Cinema-Brightness-Theater-Projector/dp/B014D7XHR8/?tag=reactual-20">Home Cinema 1440</a> can cast in True HD up to 300 inches, making it a great option for both home theaters and outdoor movie nights for a larger audience.&nbsp;Sure, if you want to get up to the full 300&#8243; potential of this beast you will need the darkness, but&nbsp;it works even if there is ambient light from the odd streetlight or neon sign flickering nearby.</p>
<p>Besides its blinding brightness, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Cinema-Brightness-Theater-Projector/dp/B014D7XHR8/?tag=reactual-20">Epson 1440 </a>really excels in&nbsp;image quality. It offers 3x Higher Color Brightness than other projectors in its class, casting vivid images worthy of the movie theater. Convenient color mode optimizes color, turning animated movies into a feast of bright hues and dramas into sharp shades of dark.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Cinema-Brightness-Theater-Projector/dp/B014D7XHR8/?tag=reactual-20">1440</a>&nbsp;is&nbsp;an MHL device, allowing easy connectivity for Roku and Chromecast streaming. It lacks Bluetooth functionality, which is a major knock against it if you rely on it. The other major downside is that it lacks lens shift, which means you have to place the projector dead center from where you want the image cast. It does include keystone correction, although it is not the most intuitive keystone alignment out there.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Optoma-EH200ST-1080p-Lumen-Projector/dp/B00MPWNHI8/?tag=reactual-20"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-25461" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/optoma200-655x427.jpg" alt="optoma200" width="655" height="427" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/optoma200-655x427.jpg 655w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/optoma200-1024x667.jpg 1024w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/optoma200-100x65.jpg 100w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/optoma200-911x593.jpg 911w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/optoma200.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /></a></p>

This short throw projector calls on 3000 lumens to cast a 100 inch image from just 3.5 feet, making it ideal for big city apartments that just never seem to get as dark as you want.</p>
<p>For less than $1000 you get a powerful true-to-life colors and crystal clear full HD graphics. Unlike other 1080p projectors that falter on dark blacks, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Optoma-EH200ST-1080p-Lumen-Projector/dp/B00MPWNHI8/?tag=reactual-20">EH200ST </a>has a 20,000:1 contrast ratio, bringing low-light images and text onto your screen in crisp resolution. And&nbsp;with all digital connectivity, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Optoma-EH200ST-1080p-Lumen-Projector/dp/B00MPWNHI8/?tag=reactual-20">EH300ST</a> has a low latency and fast response time, making it ideal projector for gaming.</p>
<p>The projector can cast a 100 inch image from just 3.5 feet away, 200 inch image from 7.3 feet away, and 300 inch from 20 feet away. Get 3D image at any distance and connect your wireless devices via MHL.</p>

</ul>
<h3>The Details</h3>
<p>Projectors have moved out of the movie theater and into your apartment living room. Once the domain of houses with large media rooms, the new generation of short throw and ultra short throw projectors only need a few feet (or in some cases inches) to cast true HD image of up to 100 inches. Short throw projectors also include a host of wireless options and functionalities, making them an ideal way to eliminate claustrophobia-inducing clutter in small spaces.</p>
<p>So what do you need to know before you invest in a short throw projector? First, consider your needs. If you are really tight on space (say, living in a studio apartment in Tokyo or NYC) go with an ultra short throw projector. These devices can cast an image the size of widescreen TV from half a foot and a full 100 inches from just 2 feet away.</p>
<p>This is a niche category without too many options yet, and it lags behind other classes of projector in terms of lumen count, which determines image brightness. Black out curtains reduce ambient light and can make them a viable option for most apartment owners.</p>
<p>Short throw projectors deliver more value, but usually require at least 3 feet to obtain full image size. They are brighter and more affordable, but do take up more space.</p>
<h4>Best Overall Ultra Short Throw Projector: LG PF1000U</h4>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-PF1000U-Theater-Projector/dp/B014OUD5KS/?tag=reactual-20"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-24634" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/lg1000-655x655.jpg" alt="best ultra short throw projector" width="655" height="655" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/lg1000-655x655.jpg 655w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/lg1000-150x150.jpg 150w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/lg1000-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/lg1000-100x100.jpg 100w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/lg1000-911x911.jpg 911w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/lg1000-60x60.jpg 60w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/lg1000.jpg 1220w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/LG-PF1000UW-Theater-Projector-Built/dp/B01MSBRYZL/?tag=reactual-20">This recent offering</a> from LG is the first quality ultra short throw projector that is at a price point affordable to most consumers. While it isn&#8217;t as bright as most standard home theater projectors, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/LG-PF1000UW-Theater-Projector-Built/dp/B01MSBRYZL/?tag=reactual-20">PF1000U</a> shines with a great design that can turn any reasonably dark room into a home theater.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s start with the biggest strength of this projector: you can put it anywhere. It is about the size of a large shoe box and weighs less than 5 lbs. Just connect it to the power source and it is ready to go. It casts a 100&#8243; screen when placed 15&#8243; away from the wall. Move it as close as 5&#8243; from the wall to get a 60 inch screen.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/LG-PF1000UW-Theater-Projector-Built/dp/B01MSBRYZL/?tag=reactual-20">PF1000U</a> comes with an internal speaker, which is nice to have if you are in between sound systems, but you&#8217;ll want to sync up speakers via Bluetooth. It does have smart functionality, so expect access to the usual streaming suspects like Netflix and Hulu. There isn&#8217;t an app store, though, so you should get a Roku. Otherwise connect via Bluetooth, DLNA, Miracast, WiDi or through one of the 2 HDMI ports.</p>
<p>So how about picture quality and brightness? The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/LG-PF1000UW-Theater-Projector-Built/dp/B01MSBRYZL/?tag=reactual-20">PF1000U</a> bright at 1000 lumens, but not as bright as standard home theater projectors at a similar pricepoint. Still, you don&#8217;t need a short throw projector to reach the same lumen count because it is less affected by ambient light at the short distance. The bulb lasts an impressive 30,000 hours.</p>
<p>It reaches 1920 x 1080 full HD at 100&#8243; with a contrast ratio of 150,000:1. The LED bulb excels at delivering sharp, vivid colors. It falters on darker hues, so Game of Thrones and horror movies look a little washed out on dark scenes. The other major complaint is that the fan runs on the loud side. It&#8217;s not loud enough to be an issue for most people, but if you demand whisper quiet performance from your technology you will be irked by this.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Optoma-EH200ST-1080p-Lumen-Projector/dp/B00MPWNHI8/?tag=reactual-20"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-25461" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/optoma200-655x427.jpg" alt="optoma200" width="655" height="427" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/optoma200-655x427.jpg 655w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/optoma200-1024x667.jpg 1024w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/optoma200-100x65.jpg 100w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/optoma200-911x593.jpg 911w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/optoma200.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /></a></p>
<p>If your room is small and not particularly dark, you&#8217;ll do well with the  <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Optoma-EH200ST-1080p-Lumen-Projector/dp/B00MPWNHI8/?tag=reactual-20">Optoma EH200ST</a>. This short throw projector can cast a 100&#8243; image from 3.5 feet away and delivers a bright 3000 lumens.</p>
<p>The DLP short-throw lens delivers ideal white and black contrast with a high native contrast ratio of 20,000: 1. It also performs well with colors. The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Optoma-EH200ST-1080p-Lumen-Projector/dp/B00MPWNHI8/?tag=reactual-20">EH200ST</a> comes with BrilliantColor Technology which offers 6-color processing to create vibrant colors on the screen. It has full HD at 1080p and VESA 3D capability.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Optoma-EH200ST-1080p-Lumen-Projector/dp/B00MPWNHI8/?tag=reactual-20">EH200ST</a> is a little bulkier than LG&#8217;s short-throw offering, but with dimensions of 4 x 12.4 x 8.8 you can still tuck it away in small rooms. You connect your devices via wireless connectivity, which works with laptops, smart phones, Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, game consoles, and many other digital devices. Back ports include a USB mini-B, 2 HDMI ports, or a 12V out.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Update September 2016</em>: The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019O6MVJI/?tag=reactual-20">LG Minibeam PH550</a> projector now appears to be brightest (500 lumens) battery-powered micro projector. I will be testing it soon. It is said to produce a sharp 720 HD picture.</p>
<ul>
<li>The best micro projector currently available is the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/iCODIS-Projector-Portable-Entertainment-Theater/dp/B0181T8KIK/?tag=reactual-20">iCODIS CB-300 Pico Projector</a>. This two pounds device is high portable yet it produces impressive video and sound. It delivers 1800 lumens projection and Android functionality with built-in speakers.</li>
<li>The most portable micro projector that is still worth considering is the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B7H645E/?tag=reactual-20">Coocheer Pocket Projector</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The Details: Micro Projectors</h3>
<p>Micro projectors, also known as pico projectors or pocket projectors, have benefited from recent advancements in LED technology. When they first appeared on the market, pico projectors were a neat parlor trick but ultimately useless in all but the most ideal conditions. Lumen count and contrast have since increased, leading to clearer picture quality and larger projection sizes.</p>
<p>Micro projectors are ideal for work presentations and impromptu movie nights, but be realistic in your expectations before purchasing one. Many micro projectors do not come with built in speakers or HD video quality. These tend to be cheaper and smaller, fine for casting an Excel spreadsheet but useless if your goal is to play video games in the dorm room. I&#8217;ve found that a high lumen count is the single most important factor to consider when choosing a micro projector. Without enough brightness, its utility is seriously limited. Other factors to keep in mind include whether the projector requires an external power source, screen resolution, portability and audio.</p>
<h3>A Micro Projector That&#8217;s Quite Bright: The iCodis CB-300</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/iCODIS-Projector-Portable-Entertainment-Theater/dp/B0181T8KIK/?tag=reactual-20" rel="attachment wp-att-10041"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-10041 size-full" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/icodis-e1459645595752.jpg" alt="" width="497" height="276" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/icodis-e1459645595752.jpg 497w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/icodis-e1459645595752-100x56.jpg 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px" /></a></p>
<p>No matter what you want need your micro projector to do, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/iCODIS-Projector-Portable-Entertainment-Theater/dp/B0181T8KIK/?tag=reactual-20">iCODIS CB-300</a> can handle it. Not only is it among the brightest micro projectors currently available at 1800 lumens, it features a slew of smart features that make your life easier.</p>
<p>It has Bluetooth connectivity, a Micro HDMI port, 2 USB ports, and a mini USB port. It has a 6000 mAh internal battery that can last for 2 hours, and a 12V plug for an external power source if you require longer performance.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/iCODIS-Projector-Portable-Entertainment-Theater/dp/B0181T8KIK/?tag=reactual-20">CB-300</a> acts a lot like a tablet or smart TV, thanks to Android OS 4.4 powered by built in CPU. You can watch videos from Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu directly from the projector, a unique and incredibly convenient feature.</p>
<p>Best of all, your movies will play in HD. The CB-300 is a 720p projector that can play 1080p files and has as a 16:9 screen ratio. It can focus up to 18 yards, but is better at closer. The screen display gets to around an impressive 75.&#8221;</p>
<p>Apple users have reported some difficulty streaming through the HDMI. Also, the device is a very portable 2lbs and 5&#8243; by 5,&#8221; but it is not exactly pocket sized.</p>
<h3>The Most Portable Micro Projector</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B7H645E/?tag=reactual-20" rel="attachment wp-att-10060"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-10060 size-medium" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/coocheer-e1459645636527-655x519.jpg" alt="" width="655" height="519" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/coocheer-e1459645636527-655x519.jpg 655w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/coocheer-e1459645636527-768x609.jpg 768w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/coocheer-e1459645636527-1024x812.jpg 1024w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/coocheer-e1459645636527-100x79.jpg 100w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/coocheer-e1459645636527-1334x1057.jpg 1334w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/coocheer-e1459645636527.jpg 1485w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /></a></p>
<p>If you need a micro projector that is truly pocket sized, go for <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B7H645E/?tag=reactual-20">Coocheer&#8217;s DLP Projector</a>. While some micro projectors are as small as coins, they are worthless for projecting an image worth seeing. Coocheer gives you a respectable 100-200 lumens using an Android 4.4 OS in an ultra-thin design that will fit in your (large) pocket. It also has a built in 5000mAh rechargeable battery.</p>

<div id="contents">
<p id="E18" class="qowt-stl-Title"><span id="E24">Projectors often</span><span id="E25"> </span><span id="E26">need to be </span><span id="E27">placed in the most </span><span id="E28">in</span><span id="E29">convenient location</span><span id="E30">s</span><span id="E31"> </span><span id="E32">to connect your laptop or computer </span><span id="E33">to – they are often hanging from a ceiling or sitting across the other side of the room. Thankfully, instead of trying to perform the trapeze </span><span id="E34">each time you need </span><span id="E35">to connect your laptop, t</span><span id="E36">ablet or phone to the projector, </span><span id="E37">you are now offered a number of wireless</span><span id="E38"> solutions that allow you to stream content to</span><span id="E39"> a projector </span><span id="E40">without wires</span><span id="E41">. This makes life much more comfortable, whether you’re taking a portable Pico laptop to the boardroom with you or simply relaxing </span><span id="E42">in the den</span><span id="E43"> using your projector as a home theater.</span></p>
<h3 id="E44" class="qowt-stl-Heading1"><span id="E45">Using Apple Airplay to Stream Content Wirelessly to your Projector</span></h3>
<p id="E46"><span id="E47">If you’re lucky enough to be using a projector that supports <a href="https://reactual.com/home-theater/best-airplay-projectors.html">Apple AirPlay</a>, such as the</span><span id="E48"> excellent</span><span id="E49"> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/PCMags-Pick-iDea-Pico-Projector/dp/B017QTML5O/?tag=reactual-20" rel="nofollow">iDea Pico Projector</a> or  <a href="https://www.amazon.com/EUG-Android-Wireless-Multimedia-Projector/dp/B00PDAIW5C/?tag=reactual-20" rel="nofollow">EUG 760+(A)</a></span><span id="E64">, you should be able to use its wireless streaming capabilities</span><span id="E65"> without buying additional hardware</span><span id="E66">.</span><span id="E67"> You’</span><span id="E68">ll need a device that supports AirPlay</span><span id="E69"> –</span><span id="E70"> Apple products</span><span id="E71"> running iOS 7.0 (or later) or OSX Mountain Lion 10.8 (or later) are your best bet, but </span><span id="E72">you can also use software like 5KPlayer to stream from computers running Windows.</span></p>
<p id="E73"><span id="E74">T</span><span id="E75">o use AirPlay on an iOS device, swipe from the bottom of the screen and open the Control Center. Choose AirPlay. Here you’ll see a list of the devices on the network set up to receive AirPlay content. Choose your projector from the list</span><span id="E76">, and the content on your iOS device will be mirrored on the projector</span><span id="E77">. </span><span id="E79">Simple!</span></p>
<h3 id="E81" class="qowt-stl-Heading1"><span id="E82">Using a Proprietary Wireless Adaptor to Connect to your Projector</span></h3>
<p id="E83"><span id="E84">If you already have an expensive projector, but it doesn’t have wireless capabilities, you’</span><span id="E85">ll need to</span><span id="E86"> take another route. </span><span id="E87">Projector manufacturers, recognizing the growing demand for wireless connectivity in projectors, often offer wireless dongles as an optional extra. Big names like Sony, Epson and </span><span id="E89">BenQ</span><span id="E91"> offer wireless dongles for their popular projectors. USB wireless adapters are common on newer model</span><span id="E92">s</span><span id="E93">, but wireless adapters with a VGA output are also available for many older projectors without USB ports.</span><span id="E94"> Check your projector manufacturer’s website to see if you can buy a wireless adapter for your projector from them</span><span id="E95"> or on Amazon.com</span><span id="E96">.</span></p>
<h3 id="E97" class="qowt-stl-Heading1"><span id="E98">Using a Full Wireless Kit to Turn a Non-Wireless Projector into a Wireless Projector</span></h3>
<p id="E99"><span id="E100">Proprietary wireless adapters are not available for every proje</span><span id="E101">ctor model, so a more versatile option is choosing a full wireless projector kit such as the </span><a id="E102" href="https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-5J-J9H28-A02-Wireless-Projector-Accessory/dp/B00RGGFRGI/" target="_blank"><span id="E104" class="qowt-stl-Hyperlink">BenQ</span><span id="E106" class="qowt-stl-Hyperlink"> Wireless FHD Kit</span></a><span id="E107">. </span><span id="E108">This wireless kit and others like it, works</span><span id="E109"> on any projector with an HDMI input. Wireless kits like this work </span><span id="E110">somewhat </span><span id="E111">like a virtual HDMI cable, and come with two </span><span id="E112">digital </span><span id="E113">boxes – one you plug into the HDMI output on your laptop or cable box and the other you plug into the receiving projector. This allows you to transmit up to a 1080p 3D picture.</span></p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="contentsContainer">
<div id="contents">
<p id="E114"><span id="E115">Both the sending device and receiving device are powered by USB, so you should be able to keep wires to a minimum. This system works through line-of-sight, so the receiving box should be within 20 meters of the sending box.</span></p>
<p id="E117"><span id="E118">While a wireless kit </span><span id="E119">is particularly versatile</span><span id="E120">, it’s important to consider their cost, which is about $100 to $350 depending on the brand</span><span id="E121"> and special features</span><span id="E122">. Since a</span><span id="E123">n excellent</span><span id="E124"> new wireless projector can be purchased for less than $800, it might be sensible to consider replacing an old projector with a new wireless one instead of using a wireless kit.</span></p>
<h3 id="E125" class="qowt-stl-Heading1"><span id="E126">Using a Projector-Connected Computer to Make your Projector Wireless</span></h3>
<p id="E127"><span id="E128">One of the simplest ways to get the functionality of a wireless printer is to connect a computer to the projector and use the projector as this computer’s output screen. Then, use software that allows you to mirror your content across the network on the projector-connected computer.</span><span id="E129"> </span></p>
<p id="E130"><span id="E131">Such devices are now available in tiny sizes no bigger</span><span id="E132"> than a USB drive with</span><span id="E133"> a single HDMI output that you plug into your projector.</span></p>
<p id="E134"><span id="E135">A version of this method is to use an Apple TV</span><span id="E138"> device connected to the projector, and then use Apple Airplay to stream content to the Apple TV.</span><span id="E139"> If you use a Windows PC or laptop connected to the projector, you can use software like </span><span id="E141">AirServer</span><span id="E143"> to stream content in a similar fashion.</span><span id="E144"> </span></p>
<p id="E145"><span id="E146">Alternatively, i</span><span id="E147">f your projector-connected device supports Windows, like the tiny <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Generation-Compute-Processor-BOXSTK1AW32SCR/dp/B01ASB0DJ8/?tag=reactual-20">Intel Compute Stick</a>, </span><span id="E150">you have a wealth of software options to help you stream content over the network to your projector. A simple option is the use of VNC (Virtual Network Computing), which allows you to mirror </span><span id="E151">screens </span><span id="E152">across computers</span><span id="E153"> and remotely control the computer as if you were operating it with a connected mouse and keyboard</span><span id="E154">. Free VNC software </span><span id="E155">clients and servers are</span><span id="E156"> available for a host of operating systems, including Windows and Android.</span></p>
<p id="E157"><span id="E158">If you are planning to stream</span><span id="E159"> movies, TV and music to a home projector, consider installing </span><span id="E161">Plex</span><span id="E163"> Media Server</span><span id="E164"> on your desktop computer and </span><span id="E166">Plex</span><span id="E168"> client </span><span id="E169">software </span><span id="E170">on your projector-connected device. This allows you to send your media to the projector with consummate ease.</span><span id="E171"> </span><span id="E173">Plex</span><span id="E175"> client software is available for a wide range of platforms, including Windows, OSX, </span><span id="E177">ChromeOS</span><span id="E179"> and Android.</span></p>

<li>The best full size AirPlay projector is the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/EUG-Android-Wireless-Multimedia-Projector/dp/B00PDAIW5C/?tag=reactual-20">EUG 760+(A)</a>. It illuminates at 2600 lumens and can achieve up to 1920 x 1200 maximum resolution.</li>
<li><strong><em>Update November 2016</em></strong>: These new projectors support AirPlay: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Projector-ELEGIANT1080P-Portable-Connectivity-Compatible/dp/B01J34ZRVU/?tag=reactual-20">ELEGIANT 1080P Projector</a>  and the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Projector-B2COOL-projector-Projection/dp/B01LQ2UYX8/?tag=reactual-20">B2COOL Wifi Bluetooth Projector</a> (via WiFi only)</li>
<li>This wireless projector doesn&#8217;t support Airplay but uses WiFi instead: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/WiFi-Projector-WhaleStone-Video-Wireless/dp/B01CC3QKKQ/?tag=reactual-20">WhaleStone WS46</a> (1200 lumens, $90)</li>
<li><del>The iCodis CB100W is the best all-around portable AirPlay projector. It weighs just 110g and has a max resolution of 1080p.</del><em><strong> (No longer recommended)</strong></em><del><br />
</del></li>
</ul>
<h3>The Details</h3>
<p id="E63"><span id="E64"><a href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204289">AirPlay</a> is Apple’s proprietary protocol for wirelessly streaming audio and video across a network. Compatible devices act as either a sender or receiver. With this innovative system, you can effortlessly transmit your music, videos or screen content wirelessly from a sending device and display it on a receiving device. No more need for a jumble of HDMI, USB, VGA wires to get something from one screen on to another.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span id="E70">There have been various implementations of Apple AirPlay since it was first introduced as AirTunes in 2004. Now, for the full AirPlay feature set, it is recommended that you stream content from an Apple device running iOS 4.3 (or later) or OSX Mountain Lion 10.8 (or later). </span></p>
<p><span id="E78">Your receiving device will also need to support AirPlay. The list of supporting devices is now huge, including popular devices such as Apple TV, Apple Airport Express, a wealth of speaker docks from suppliers like Bose, Sony and Philips, computers running AirPlay receiver software (like AirServer or Reflector) and Bluetooth devices that support A2DP.</span></p>
<p>Note that because not all third-party receivers implement Apple&#8217;s DRM encryption, some media, such as iTunes Store&#8217;s own rights-protected music (Apple&#8217;s own &#8220;<a title="FairPlay" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairPlay">FairPlay</a>&#8221; encryption), YouTube and Netflix, cannot stream to those devices or software. On Apple TV starting with firmware 6.0, the &#8220;FairPlay&#8221; encryption scheme is enforced and sending devices not supporting it cannot be used.</p>
<p id="E71"><span id="E72">Some receiving devices require the sending device to be running newer</span><span id="E73"> operating system revisions such as iOS 7.0 </span><span id="E74">– be sure to check the specified operating system requirements of the sending device before you purchase </span><span id="E75">an AirPlay receiving device</span><span id="E76">.</span></p>

<p><em><strong>Update: This device will not play streaming sites like Netflix, so I&#8217;m removing my recommendation.</strong></em></p>
<p><del>An updated version of the popular CB100 projector, the iCodis CB100W is a diminutive (110 grams) device aimed at those on the go.</del></p>
<p><del>With no HDMI input, the CB100W is designed to be used almost exclusively as a wireless projector, although like the iDea Pico you can use an SD card or USB drive with the CB100W. The built-in battery is 1800mAh &#8211; excellent for the projector’s size but offering a shorter usage time than the iDea Pico Projector. Expect more like 45 minutes of battery-only usage before the CB100W needs to be plugged in.</del><br />
<del>The CB100W supports iOS 7.0 (and above) for AirPlay support.</del></p>

<li>The best large screen projector is the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FU4X81Y/?tag=reactual-20">Optoma EH500 3D DLP Projector</a>. With 4400 lumens, it projects an incredibly bright image that stands up to high levels of ambient lighting, perfect for outdoor use. It can cast a gigantic 300&#8243; image, which is as large as a warehouse wall.</li>
<li>The best outdoor projector for backyard movies is <a href="https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-HT2050-1080p-Theater-Projector/dp/B016JYOQ3W/?tag=reactual-20">BenQ&#8217;s HT2050</a>. For an affordable price you get a projector that is portable, easy to set up, and projects a true HD image up to 180&#8243;.</li>
<li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elite-Screens-Yard-Master-100-inch/dp/B00LH0B1LY/?tag=reactual-20">Elite Screens Yard Master 2</a> is the perfect for outdoor use. The professional looking screen is weather-resistant and easy to assemble, making for a painless set-up process and impromptu movie nights under the stars.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The Details</h3>
<p>Summer is coming. Whether you want to watch the new season of Game of Thrones in the backyard or show MLB games on your bar&#8217;s patio, a projector is a great alternative to outdoor TV. You get a much larger screen size and some peace of mind, knowing that you can take the projector inside with you at night.</p>
<p>While there are no projectors specifically designed for outside use, there are a few elements that determine if a projector is suitable for the great outdoors. The main factor is brightness, which is determined by the lumen count. Anything less than 2000 lumens won&#8217;t hold up to outdoor ambient lighting &#8212; so get something north of that number. For daytime use, you want over 4000 lumens for a decent image. The good thing about high lumen projectors is that they also cast a larger screen, which is great for backyard movie nights and other big gatherings.</p>

<p>So do you a need a screen specifically designed for projectors? Nope! Any flat surface will do, although it is better if that surface is white and contour free. Go ahead and string a sheet up between two trees, or point the projector at the side of your house.</p>
<p>If you have want the clearest possible image, outdoor projection screens are available and do an excellent job of maximizing contrast and perfecting the entertainment experience.</p>
<h3>The Best Large Screen Projector</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FU4X81Y/?tag=reactual-20"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-10191 size-medium" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/optoma-e1461378371689-655x337.jpg" alt="optoma" width="655" height="337" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/optoma-e1461378371689-655x337.jpg 655w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/optoma-e1461378371689-768x396.jpg 768w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/optoma-e1461378371689-1024x528.jpg 1024w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/optoma-e1461378371689-100x52.jpg 100w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/optoma-e1461378371689-1334x687.jpg 1334w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/optoma-e1461378371689.jpg 1477w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /></a></p>
<p>Hold on to your hats. The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FU4X81Y/?tag=reactual-20">Optoma EH500 3D DLP Projector</a> is a blindingly bright 4700 lumens, which means it gives true HD images on 300 inch screens without a problem. So cast the game or a movie on a 3 story wall and impress your guests.</p>
<p>Using Texas Instrument&#8217;s DLP BrilliantColor technology for multi-color processing and native 1080p HD resolution, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FU4X81Y/?tag=reactual-20">Optoma EH500</a> gives a stunning picture in 10,000:1 contrast ratio. This is ideal for presentations and DIY drive in movie theaters. An array of connectivity options- including VGA, HDMI, and USB- make it easy to get your media on the screen.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be afraid to bring it outside. It can operate in temperatures as low as 40 degrees and as high as 100 degrees, making it suitable for a variety of climates. It has a projection distance of 1-10 meters, which allows for a good deal of flexibility. It also has front, rear, ceiling, and table top projection.</p>
<p>The downside of the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FU4X81Y/?tag=reactual-20">Optoma EH500 </a>is its short run-time. It is made for six hours on and six hours off, which means it is not the best for sports bars that want to show back-to-back games on their patio. The high lumen count also means that bulb life isn&#8217;t as long as we&#8217;d like &#8212; just 2500 hours on regular setting.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FU4X81Y/?tag=reactual-20">Optoma EH500</a> projector is available at Amazon for about $1200.</p>
<h3>The Best Outdoor Projector</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-HT2050-1080p-Theater-Projector/dp/B016JYOQ3W/?tag=reactual-20"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-10195 size-medium" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benq-1-e1461378338614-655x353.jpg" alt="benq" width="655" height="353" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benq-1-e1461378338614-655x353.jpg 655w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benq-1-e1461378338614-100x54.jpg 100w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benq-1-e1461378338614-768x414.jpg 768w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benq-1-e1461378338614.jpg 987w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /></a></p>
<p>A good outdoor projector is light enough to be lugged around, bright enough to cut through some ambient lighting, and equipped with options to make alignment a pain-free process. It should also be affordable enough that, should the worst happen, you aren&#8217;t out an entire car down payment. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-HT2050-1080p-Theater-Projector/dp/B016JYOQ3W/?tag=reactual-20">BenQ&#8217;s HT2050</a> satisfies all these requirements and more, projecting true HD images on screens up to 180 inches in size.</p>
<p>The latest in BenQ&#8217;s line of quality affordable projectors, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-HT2050-1080p-Theater-Projector/dp/B016JYOQ3W/?tag=reactual-20">HT2050</a> is a 1080p Full HD projector with a 15000:1 image contrast ratio. At 2200 lumens, it is bright enough to use outside with some ambient lighting, but can&#8217;t be used during full daylight like the Optoma EH500. At night the black levels are very good for this price range, but do fade away a bit with ambient lighting. It uses 3D DLP.</p>
<p>This is not a short throw projector. The throw range is 1.15 to 1.5 meters, but from the furthest distance you can achieve an image size of almost 200 inches, which is massive and will satisfy a crowd of hundreds of people.</p>
<p>It has vertical lens shift and keystone correction, which helps with set up. Most projectors at this price range do not have horizontal keystone correction and lens shift, and unfortunately this projector is no exception. The zoom is about standard for this class, as are the HDMI and USB connectivity.</p>
<p>It weighs about 10 pounds, which is light enough to easily be brought over to a friend&#8217;s house and for easy storage.</p>
<p>BenQ&#8217;s <a href="https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-HT2050-1080p-Theater-Projector/dp/B016JYOQ3W/?tag=reactual-20">HT2050</a> projector is available at Amazon for about $800.</p>
<h3>The Best Outdoor Projector Screen</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elite-Screens-Yard-Master-100-inch/dp/B00LH0B1LY/?tag=reactual-20"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-10192 size-medium" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/yardscreens-e1461378305858-655x581.jpg" alt="the best outdoor projectors screens" width="655" height="581" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/yardscreens-e1461378305858-655x581.jpg 655w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/yardscreens-e1461378305858-1024x908.jpg 1024w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/yardscreens-e1461378305858-100x89.jpg 100w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/yardscreens-e1461378305858-1145x1016.jpg 1145w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/yardscreens-e1461378305858-768x681.jpg 768w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/yardscreens-e1461378305858.jpg 1250w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /></a></p>
<p>Invest in a projector screen if you want a professional and polished viewing experience. Good outdoor projectors are weather resistant to an extent, but you will still want something portable that you can disassemble in inclement conditions or if not in use. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elite-Screens-Yard-Master-100-inch/dp/B00LH0B1LY/?tag=reactual-20">Elite Screens Yard Master 2</a> is a great outdoor option. The screens are durable and can be put up and broken down with ease. Sold in many sizes, they can be set up indoors and outdoors, just like your projector.</p>
<p>The<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elite-Screens-Yard-Master-100-inch/dp/B00LH0B1LY/?tag=reactual-20"> Elite Screens Yard Master</a> is a snap button single-piece frame supported by detachable aluminum legs and frame. Full tension gives the screen taught appearance reminiscent of a theater viewing experience, and black masking borders provide additional contrast for the best possible image.</p>
<p>Ground stakes, rigging cords and support rings help the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Elite-Screens-Yard-Master-100-inch/dp/B00LH0B1LY/?tag=reactual-20">Yard Master 2</a> stand up to moderate gusts of wind. The screen is also made for the outdoors, and can weather a spontaneous rain shower. It comes with a carrying bag for easy transportation.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>In A Nutshell</h3>
<ul>
<li>The best projector for businesses with large, bright conference rooms is the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-MH741-1080p-DLP-Projector/dp/B01686RDTU/?tag=reactual-20">BenQ MH741 Projector</a>. It is incredibly bright at 4000 lumens and has true HD image quality.</li>
<li>The best projector for small businesses is the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Powerlite-580-XGA-3LCD/dp/B00K68OIZO/?tag=reactual-20">Epson PowerLite 580</a>. It is an ultra-short-throw projector that can cast a 93&#8243; image from as little as a foot away, perfect for cozy offices.</li>
<li>The best portable projector for business travelers is the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/iCODIS-Projector-Portable-Entertainment-Theater/dp/B0181T8KIK/?tag=reactual-20" rel="nofollow">iCODIS CB-300</a>. It is handheld with an internal battery, and is equipped with a host of connectivity options to streamline presentations.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The Details</h3>
<p>Whether you want to dazzle investors with a multi-media pitch or get the new hires up to speed on the intricacies of HR policy, a projector is a key tool for businesses of every size and industry.</p>
<p>No two businesses are the same, so every company needs to keep a few factors in mind when choosing a projector. Here are a few things to keep in mind when deciding which projector is right for you.</p>
<p>Businesses want bright projectors, and the brightness of a projector is determined by the number of lumens. Home theatres can get away with low lumen counts because they are in rooms with low ambient lighting. Offices have glass windows and don&#8217;t want to turn out the lights and draw the blinds every time a projector turns on. That means businesses should stay away from the legion of LED projectors that have appeared on the market in recent years. While cheaper than 3LCD and DLP options, most LED projectors don&#8217;t hit the 2500 lumen minimum most offices require. Of course, if your office is dungeon-like and you are fine with presenting sans illumination, you can sacrifice a few lumens.</p>
<p>The next thing to keep in mind is picture quality, which is determined by the resolution, or number of pixels on the screen. High resolution gives a higher picture quality and sharper image. This doesn&#8217;t matter much if your projector isn&#8217;t going to be casting anything more glamorous than excel spreadsheets and powerpoint presentations, but it makes a huge difference for any graphic design elements or videos. This mean you want WUXGA resolution which is 1920 x 1200 pixels. This is a true widescreen ratio and similar to aspect ratio on most new computer monitors, and best if you want crisp lively images.</p>
<p>One last thing to keep in mind is ease of use. Choose a projector with automatic alignment options if untrained employees will be using it on a regular basis. Also, see what kind of connectivity options the projector has so you know how you will get your presentation on to the screen.</p>
<h3>The Best Projector For A Bright Conference Room</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-MH741-1080p-DLP-Projector/dp/B01686RDTU/?tag=reactual-20"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10172" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benq4h71-655x391.jpg" alt="benq4h71" width="655" height="391" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benq4h71-655x391.jpg 655w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benq4h71-768x459.jpg 768w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benq4h71-1024x612.jpg 1024w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benq4h71-100x60.jpg 100w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benq4h71-1334x797.jpg 1334w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benq4h71.jpg 1500w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 655px) 100vw, 655px" /></a></p>
<p>Floor-to-ceiling glass windows are the big thing in contemporary architecture. Natural light is a great way to keep employees motivated and productive throughout the day, but it makes projecting an image a difficult task. Bright conference rooms call for bright projectors, and the <span id="productTitle" class="a-size-large"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-MH741-1080p-DLP-Projector/dp/B01686RDTU/?tag=reactual-20">BenQ MH741 1080p DLP 3D Projector</a> has a bulb as bright as the sun.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-MH741-1080p-DLP-Projector/dp/B01686RDTU/?tag=reactual-20">BenQ MH741</a> gives you 4000 ANSI Lumens of brightness, which is over 1500 lumens more than the recommended minimum for presentations in conferences rooms or other areas where there will be ambient light. This means no matter how bright the room is, your presentation will shine in full 1080p true HD with crisp whites and satisfying colors. No need to dim the lights and make your clients or board members feel like they are back in high school math class.</p>
<p>4000 Lumen brightness is accompanied by a contrast ratio of 10000:1 and true widescreen native aspect resolution of 16:9, although there are five aspect ratios available, so you can choose whatever works best for you. While images are quite 4k of some dazzling home theater projectors, the native resolution of 1920 x 1200 is WUXGA 1080p full HD quality. True HD is possible on screens up to 200,&#8221; which is large enough for virtually every conference room.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10171" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/keystone2.jpg" alt="best business projector benq" width="540" height="326" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/keystone2.jpg 540w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/keystone2-100x60.jpg 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px" /></p>
<p>This projector also gives the presenter some breathing room. It comes equipped with 2D Keystone correction, which allows for horizontal and vertical adjustments up to 30 degrees. This makes alignment easier and lets he presenter stand in front of the screen without worrying about blocking the image. Corner Fit also gives flexibility and convenience in the alignment process by allowing the presenter to independently adjust each corner of an image.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-MH741-1080p-DLP-Projector/dp/B01686RDTU/?tag=reactual-20">BenQ MH741</a> comes equipped with a few other features businesses might find useful. It has MHL Connectivity, which allows proposals and ideas to instantly be brought on to the projector from Android smart devices. It also has a 10W built in speaker, &#8220;blanking&#8221; mode which freezes the projected image while you browse through files, and writing templates for off-the-cuff notes onscreen.</p>
<h3>The Best Projector For A Small Office</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Powerlite-580-XGA-3LCD/dp/B00K68OIZO/?tag=reactual-20"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-10176 size-full" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/powerlite-e1461150621761.jpg" alt="the best projectors for small office" width="498" height="306" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/powerlite-e1461150621761.jpg 498w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/powerlite-e1461150621761-100x61.jpg 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 498px) 100vw, 498px" /></a></p>
<p>If your office is lacking the grandeur of a Fortune 500 boardroom, go with the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Powerlite-580-XGA-3LCD/dp/B00K68OIZO/?tag=reactual-20">Epson PowerLite 580 XGA 3LCD</a>. It is a very bright ultra-short throw projector, which means it can sit just a few inches away from the screen, which is perfect for smaller office rooms and tight spaces. Presenters will especially like the fact they don&#8217;t have to worry about getting in the way of the light stream when standing in front of the screen.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Powerlite-580-XGA-3LCD/dp/B00K68OIZO/?tag=reactual-20">580 XGA 3LCD bulb</a> is a very bright 3,200 lumens, which means you can leave the lights on for most presentations. It has an HD XGA 1024 x 768 resolution built around 3 LCD chips, so that will eliminate the &#8220;rainbow effect&#8221;  some projectors suffer. This is a lower native resolution than Ultra-HD competitors like BenQ, but it is more than enough to maintain color brightness and keep your graphic design team happy.</p>
<p>It has a few other goodies most businesses will enjoy as well. A 16-watt mono speaker means that you won&#8217;t need to clutter the room with additional audio equipment. It also has a slew of connectivity options, including HDMI, USB, and wireless connectivity, so impromptu info can easily find its way onscreen.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Powerlite-580-XGA-3LCD/dp/B00K68OIZO/?tag=reactual-20">Powerlite 580</a> is a bright, technologically adept, useful projector that can cast a 93&#8243; image from as little as a foot away.</p>
<h3>The Best Projector For The Business Traveler</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/iCODIS-Projector-Portable-Entertainment-Theater/dp/B0181T8KIK/?tag=reactual-20"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-10041" src="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/icodis-e1459645595752.jpg" alt="icodis" width="497" height="276" srcset="https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/icodis-e1459645595752.jpg 497w, https://reactual.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/icodis-e1459645595752-100x56.jpg 100w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 497px) 100vw, 497px" /></a></p>
<p>Going on an out of town sales call, but not sure if there will be a projector available? Bring along your own pocket projector to give a presentation on your own terms. Recent advances in LED technology have led to a proliferation of portable projectors at affordable prices. At first they were just a novelty item, but more recent models like the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/iCODIS-Projector-Portable-Entertainment-Theater/dp/B0181T8KIK/?tag=reactual-20" rel="nofollow">iCODIS CB-300</a> have enough brightness and battery life to make them worthwhile.</p>
<p>Released earlier this year, this DLP projector packs 1800 lumens and comes with a slew of connectivity features. While 1800 lumens isn&#8217;t quite bright enough to cast a clear image in a sunny conference room, it gives a brilliant display in rooms with moderate or low ambient lighting.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.amazon.com/iCODIS-Projector-Portable-Entertainment-Theater/dp/B0181T8KIK/?tag=reactual-20">CB-300</a> is a 720p projector that can play 1080p files and with a native resolution of 16:9 widescreen ratio. It casts an image the size of a large TV, or about 75.&#8221; This will cover a white office wall with a large screen with clear and precise images. It is enough for bare-bones excel presentations, and even good enough to show off graphic design work.</p>
<p>Casting your presentation through the CB-300 is easy. It has a Micro HDMI port, 2 USB ports, and a mini USB port. It has a 6000 mAh internal battery that can last for 2 hours, and a 12V plug for an external power source if you require longer performance. It even acts like a tablet, using Android OS 4.4 to run apps.</p>
