Recommended Projector and portable screen advice?

marmaduke

I am after purchasing a good quality projector and portable screen. Screen size will be about 8ft

What shoudl I look for in a reasonable quality projector> Makes, Types etc. It will be mostly for Video.

Answer
There are a lot of good projectors out there. Contrast ratio, lumens, the connections you may want are the first thing. The main thing I would watch is the warranty of the unit and the lamp life. Most projector lamps last about 2000 to 3000 hours and only have a 1 year warranty. Lamp replacement could cost between 200 and 500 dollars. Mitsubishi makes a projector that has good quality, 3 year warranty, and up to 5000 hours in economy mode for the lamp. Dalite or Draper make quality screens.......some generic brands don't reproduce the images real well.

Good portable business projector under $1000?

Needs to be able to work with the lights on. Used for conferences with under 20 people.
What are good brands, models?
You can get projectors with brighter bulbs that work fine without being dark

Answer
No projector will work well if there is a lot of light on the screen surface. Fluorescent light and daylight are the worst. Try to minimize ambient light on the screen surface if at all possible. Any extra light on the screen takes away from the image.

Pretty much any name brand projector will work great. I buy Sharp, Epson, Sanyo, Sony, NEC for the places I work - all will work great.

Here is one good choice:

Please recommend projectors with which you have personal experience or know someone who has. I've already done a preliminary google search. Thanks so much!

Answer
A good projector that is going to give a real wow factor to the screen isn't cheep. there is one that is really good for a bit higher than your price, but i promise it will satisfy your needs. The Epson megaplex 850 hd. At visual appex it is priced at $699. you won't be dissapointed i promise. It plays great with its 2800 lumens in light or dark conditions. It has 2 10 wat bulit in speakers and last but defiatly not least it has an ipod dock for a iphone, ipod touch, ipod nano, or an ipad. i have been looking for projectors for months and i have been up and down every projector website. When i saw the megaplex i knew it was exactly what i wanted. i hope this answer helped.
