Entry level projectors

Projectors are becoming more affordable these days. A low-cost, entry level projector can be used for many applications including showing photos, powerpoint presentations or video projections in your own home. The image quality of an entry level projector compared to that of a home cinema projector is not quite as good, but of course, it has a much lower price. The main difference is usually the resolution: a low cost projector has an SVGA or XGA resolution, which is lower than the HD resolution that a good home cinema projector provides.

What characterises an entry level projector? There is a wide choice of projectors on the market: they range from entry-level projectors and business projectors to high end home cinema projectors. The number of entry-level projectors has increased significantly since manufacturing costs have decreased. Only a few years ago, it was unthinkable to purchase a projector under £500, now the price for an entry-level project has halved. The quality at this level has improved, even entry level projectors now come with an HDMI connection in addition to the VGA port. They usually provide a brightness of 3000 ANSI lumens. Most entry-level projectors have a SVGA resolution, some have the XGA resolution. The standard resolution for office projectors is WXGA. What is an entry level projector used? Most entry level projectors are used for presentations where the image quality is secondary. This is often the case in the education sector such as primary schools and nurseries where an HD projector is not necessary. It is also usually sufficient if you occasionally look at older photographs or watch a cartoon DVD with your children. If, however, image quality is important, you should select a projector from the category HD projector.
