A Rundown of Some of the Best Projectors

You want to know what the good home theater, business or other projector to get is. Of course. The good thing is there are some pretty good options, which ProjectorLamps.com have outlined for you.

Whether your main consideration is budget, quality, ease of use, there’s a projector that fits your need. Let’s start with the Ben Q, which the knowledgeable people at ProjectorLamps.com call an “extremely popular brand in Europe,” starting to catch on here in North America as well. This is the one you want if you’re going for high quality, as that’s what they have a reputation for, with home theatre, business projectors and projector lamps.

Also, curiously enough, they’re also known for making the smallest wireless projector ever built. Not sure how much it goes for, but it’d be a great conversation-starter.

You might have heard of a vendor named Sony, they’re evidently another of “the most popular brands for home theatre projectors.” Turns out they have a pretty wide variety as well, offering a LCD projectors for home cinema and multimedia, ProjectorLamps.com says -- “they offer many great high resolution, high contrast home theatre projectors and projector lamps,” and again they cater to customers who are willing to splash out for a high quality projector.

Sharp (News - Alert) is another vendor known for quality, as well as their DLP high definition projectors generally favored for home theatres in large and small venues. Plus, if you’re looking for the sharp intake of breath when people walk in the room, ProjectorLamps.com says they’re also “quite visually stunning in design.”

Mitsubishi (News - Alert), a company you probably wouldn’t reckon as being into projectors, actually has a fairly comprehensive projector line “at affordable prices that provide quality images,” so they’re probably worth checking out as well.

And proving they do more than keyboards and motorcycles well, Yamaha (News - Alert) doesn’t offer a huge selection of projectors, ProjectorLamps.com says, but what they have is pretty good for home theatre use. In fact, they have a quite good reputation due, as ProjectorLamps.com says, “to the fact their projectors supply a quality image as well as the design of the projector itself.” Yamahas aren’t cheap, but they’re probably the best in the price range.
