How to choose the perfect projector
Home cinema projectors
Bring the cinema home. These projectors prioritise image and sound quality. You’ll get the best resolution (some can even match a TV) with great speakers built-in.
Gaming projectors
Game on a BIG screen. Gaming projectors put the focus on refresh rate and game modes, to improve the quality of fast-paced action like a gaming monitor does.
Short throw projectors
If you only have a small space, go with a short throw projector. Whether you're entertaining at home or creating a projection for an important work meeting, short throw projectors and ultra-short throw projectors help deliver a big-screen experience in a small space.
Portable projectors
Travelling for work presentations? Putting on movie night at your friend’s house? Go portable. These projectors are super compact with batteries built-in, so you can pitch up anywhere and project what you like.
Different types of projectors
It can be tricky to decide on the perfect projector, so let’s start with the different types. If watching movies is your priority – check out a home cinema projector. Does what it says on the tin – they’re designed to bring the cinema home. You can pick from Full HD projectors as well as 4K projectors, and the speakers are included so you can plug in and get watching straight away. If you want to host an incredible gaming tournament, gaming projectors are the one. They’re designed to reduce stuttering and image tearing, give you rich colours, and fast response times.
Projectors for the office and school
And then there are office projectors for work, school or uni presentations. Office projectors focus on connectivity, so you’ll have loads of ports to plug your hard drive, laptop, USB drive and more into. And finally, there’s portable projectors. They’re far smaller and lighter than standard projectors, with a battery inside (so you can use it without a power cable). Portable projectors tend to have slightly lower resolutions and don’t focus on quality in the same way that home cinema or gaming projectors do, but they’re perfect for trips with friends, impromptu presentations, or last-minute entertainment on the go.
How to set up a projector
Once you’ve decided on the type of projector you want, it’s time to think about setup. If you need to install your projector very close to the screen, you’ll want a short throw projector. If you don’t have the perfect blank white wall to project onto, you might want a projector screen too. And if you want to wall or ceiling mount your projector – make sure you have the space and correct brackets.
