Home Ofce: Often, small ofce users are looking for a projector that is
affordable and portable—so that it can be moved to allow presentations to
happen wherever needed. Traditional lamp projectors provide higher brightness
and business-ready features for organizations that need the most presentation
punch. Meanwhile, LED technology provides long-life operation without
maintenance, while Optoma’s Pico projectors t readily into pocket or briefcase
to take along.
Home Theater: Big-screen images are the key for a home theater, along with vibrant
colors and excellent picture quality. Look for a “multimedia projector” that delivers
high color saturation and robust contrast ratio to ensure that movies and other
projected images provide an exciting and immersive experience. Projector size will
drop down on the list of important features, while an easy-to-use remote control will
still be a must-have. You may want to consider 3D capabilities to allow viewing of the
quickly growing list of available 3D movies, television and other content.
Gaming: Gamers basically want it all from breathtaking video to easy-to-read text,
so resolution, brightness and contrast ratio will all be important. Integrated stereo
audio capabilities give gamers the versatility to take their gaming wherever they go
while maintaining gaming excitement. In addition, 3D capabilities will create a future-
proof way to take advantage of new and emerging 3D gaming titles.
Mobile: If you know that you’ll want to take your projector along wherever you
go, you’ll probably want to consider a Mobile LED or Pico projector. These
projectors, which weigh from less than three pounds to just a few ounces, often
provide PC free viewing of Ofce documents, as well as quick-to-project features
to let you get up and running quickly.
Education: Projectors are basic equipment in classrooms. In these rooms, short
throw and ultra short throw projectors let educators create large and impactful
images even in small spaces. 3D and interactive features further enhance teaching.
Interactive: These projectors are an excellent solution for classrooms and training
facilities that want to enhance learning and get students involved in presented
subject matter in new ways. Interactive projectors, which mimic a smart board, can
project on any surface in the classroom, making educational applications compelling
for students. These projectors work seamlessly with interactive software applications
which are run on a computer and projected on a screen.
