Business projectors: Deciding what you need

At first glance, portable digital projectors designed for the business market seem to have much in common with their home-theater counterparts. However, a closer look reveals some very significant differences, including weight, screen aspect, brightness, contrast, resolution and price. This report focuses on digital projectors that shine brightest in the boardroom or on the road.
Multimedia Projectors are also becoming an increasingly popular option for home theaters, and that's especially true of those capable of displaying widescreen high-definition TV signals in their full resolution. In addition, home-theater projectors can display the largest high-definition images of all at the lowest cost-per-inch compared to other television technologies. See our separate report on home-theater projectors if you are more interested in a projector for your living room than for the conference room.
There are a number of excellent places to find reviews of business-class portable digital projectors. First and foremost are ProjectorCentral.com and ProjectorReviews.com. These two sites include lots of great background information, as well as in-depth reviews that sometimes go on for pages. Information about both business and Multimedia Projectors can be found at both sites.

Since business digital projectors are most typically used with computers to create detailed presentations, good reviews and information can also be found at computer-oriented magazines and websites, including PC Magazine, PC World, CNet.com and Laptop magazine. These publications, however, are more sporadic in their coverage. Consumer Reports has an article on home theater projectors, but doesn't address digital projectors for business use.
