You've done your research. You've written your presentation and you are even ready to stand up in front of the crowd and deliver it. Ultimately, though, the effectiveness of your presentation is going to depend on the technology you use to deliver it. A good LCD projector can make the difference between a presentation that is memorable for the right or wrong reason.
There are three types of LCD projectors to chose from: ultralights, conference room projectors, and fixed installation projectors.
A conference room projector tends to be heavier, brighter and more adaptable to a large room than the ultralight model. These projectors can also come with extra features such as a document camera, extra computer ports, remote mousing or a laser-pointing device. Your own personal needs will determine which of these features are necessary.
An ultralight projector is useful if you often make presentations while on the road. You can find models of these machines that weigh less than five pounds.
Lastly, there is the fixed installation projector. These are the sort that are fixed or given a permanent space in an auditorium or presentation hall. These are by far the most expensive type of LCD projector but they are also the most powerful and versatile.
As is the case with most office products, it is important to know your needs before making a purchase. While deciding what weight you want your projector to have will have some impact on the type of projector you end up with, some additional characteristics to understand before buying are resolution, brightness and lens specifications. In addition to weight, your budget will also be a factor in the type of projector you select. The price for a projector can vary dramatically from less than $2000 for a low end model to over $40,000 for the best.
