What to Look for in a 4K Projector
Having a good 4k projector for your business can be an asset if you regularly make presentations. Look for the following specifications to ensure a quality projector.
- Lumens: Brightness for projectors are measured based on lumens, which is the measurement of the total amount of visible light from a lamp or light source. The higher the lumen rating the brighter the lamp will appear. Consider the lighting condition in the venues you will be presenting to select the lumen level.
- Resolution: The resolution of your projector is important if you are looking for crisp high-quality images. Low resolution images, videos, and graphics will not come out great when blown up on a large screen. Consider the size of your screen, venue, and audience when you buy your projector.
- Inputs: The more inputs your projector offers, the more options you have for adding other peripherals. You don’t want to look for adapters or use tools that are not compatible to display your content. Look for multiple inputs to ensure your microphones, additional speakers, pointers, etc. work properly.
- Audio: Audio can be an important factor if you rely heavily on videos for your presentations. One cannot ignore the importance of sound when providing video presentations as it helps to enhance the experience. Most 4K projectors come with built-in speakers. However, make sure that the unit you plan on buying comes with a built-in speaker feature. If it doesn’t, you will likely have to invest in a speaker system if you don’t already have one. Portability: If you need a 4K projector for conferences, trade shows or you simply want to be able to move it from one place to another, then you should go for a model that is not too bulky and light weight.
Short Throw Vs. Long Throw
A projector with a short-throw lens allows placement closer to the wall – approximately 4–5 feet for a 120” image and it is installed on the wall or the ceiling closer to the wall. This is beneficial in tight spaces such as small meeting rooms or classrooms. Long-throw projectors on the other hand provide large images and are usually installed in the center of the ceiling in a large room.
Bottom Line
There are many issues to ponder before committing to buying a projector. 4K projectors are not necessarily cheap, but with digitally savvy audiences now the norm, the quality of the images you display matters. A 4K projector addresses most performance issues with price being the few drawbacks.
