Benefits of an LED Projector
- LED Life Span
LED projectors offer a longer lifespan than the lamp based counterparts. While an average lamp life is up to 6,000 hours, LED projectors feature a light source life up to 30,000 hours.
The catch? Once their time is up you generally cannot replace the LED. However if it was used for 2 hours every single day, 30,000 hours would be several decades.
- Portability
LED Projectors tend to be much smaller and more portable than their lamp based counterparts though generally less bright.
- Media Player
Many LED based projectors can operate without a PC or other player connected and can read many file types from a memory stick.
What brightness level do I require?
Brightness with all projectors is universally measured in ANSI Lumens. Traditionally the brightness level for LED projectors ranges from 50 to 1500 ANSI Lumens. While some of the Laser & LED Hybrid projectors are a much more powerful at up to 4000 lumens.
Your viewing environment and audience size will be a major factor in determining how bright your projector must be:
Below is a basic recommendation of required brightness level:
Personal presentation to 2-4 people = 250 Lumens
Small Group of 6-12 People = 500-750 Lumens
Classroom up to 20 people
= 1000 Lumens
Lighting conditions will also play a factor. In a standard sized meeting room (ie approx 20 people with lights on), a brightness level of 2500 Lumens or more is recommended. A lower brightness can still be used, however the ambient light in the room may have to be lowered to ensure a clear image. For large venues the next level of brightness is acheived through Laser projectors.
What Resolution is right for me? [top]
A Native Resolution is essentially a measurement for the number of pixels being projected. The most common measurements for business projectors are:
FWVGA - 854 x 480 (SD)
WXGA - 1280x800 (HD) - Recommended
A WXGA resolution will project more pixels and therefore a more detailed image than its alternatives giving you a more flexible projector whcih can handle most tasks.
How portable should my projector be? [top]
With advancing technology, LED projectors are now smaller and more portable than ever before. Many new projectors weigh in at only 300grams and are palm sized. The small the projector is, however, normally means is is going to be less bright... the slightly larger and heavier units usually will give a brighter image.
What does the PC Free and Wireless features mean ? [top]
PC Free and Wireless functions are 2 relatively new technologies to be found on LED projectors.
PC Free allows the unit to project a presentation, image or some video files without the need to connect a computer or any other AV device. Compatible files can be loaded onto a USB flash drive or sometimes an SD Card, which is then connected directly to the projector.
The projectors can only read some file types and therefore a standard PowerPoint presentation may sometimes need to be formatted with supplied software. Software comes with many of these projectors that can do this for you.
PC Free is a great option for professionals that have many meetings or presentations a day and do not wish to carry around both a projector and a notebook computer.
Wireless connectivity allows the projector to connect to a computer without the need for cabling. A wireless connection can be a little slower than a cable so whilst it's great for pictures and powerpoints, video may not appear very smooth.
Is there anything else to look out for? [top]
Before you begin your search for a projector, it is important to know exactly what you wish to use your projector for. Are you planning on using it solely for presentations? Or will you be taking it home in the evenings for some home movies? This can become a factor especially as some projectors will offer better inbuilt speakers or media players if you intend for it to be a home entertainment unit as well.
Cheap Knock Offs
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode but there are some no name brand companies popping up selling nasty basic projectors labeled as LED that they define as Light Emitting Device. Key way to identify these... If it looks to good to be true it probably is. Stick with real brands that have parts service centres and above all Australian warranties.
