Some of highest quality projectors are not portable. Decide how you'll be using your projector and set a budget.You'll also need to budget for maintenance of the projector to keep it in good working order.
- Digital-light projectors Work well on a tight budget but some models have very loud cooling fans. So test one of these machines in a quiet environment.
- Brightness is rated in units called "lumens" and a home projector should have a rating of at least 1000 lumens.Try to check several units side by side in the same lighting conditions. Using the same video sequence and compare the contrast of light and dark colors and note how well the projector displays very dark scenes. Some stores may have a few projectors set up for you to see how they differ.
- Look for projectors with high resolutions if you want to play high-definition movies. A 720p HD movie needs a 1280 x 720 resolution while a 1080i signal requires a 1920 x 1080 projector resolution. You'll also need to pick a projector with an HDMI or the appropriate input for your high-definition signal.
- Some digital-light projectors are designed only for office and conference work and the picture quality won't be as good as an actual home theater projector.
- Remeber to budget for a screen if you don't have one already.
