Projectors are an extremely useful tool for any person or business looking to host a conference or banquet. Whether you’re planning to project key information onto a large screen for a business audience or looking to add decoration and entertainment at a banquet, there is no better way to do it than with a projector.
Of course, you will need to find the right projector, and in order to do that, you need to know what to look for. Different projectors have different features that make them more or less useful for certain scenarios, so it isn’t simply a case of going for a top-of-the-line model and assuming it will work for you.
Below are some of the best projector features to have for hosting a conference or banquet:
Lumens (lots of lumens)
Lumens are units which measure the amount of light emitted from a projector and can determine the level of brightness. So the more lumens your projector can deliver, the brighter the image. This isn’t necessarily essential for all projector uses, as you can get a perfectly fine image from a projector that doesn’t offer much brightness if you are watching it in a darkened room. For conferences and banquets, darkness can be more difficult to achieve because the rooms are usually much larger. That means you need to get a projector that will deliver a higher level of brightness, ideally around 5000 lumens, but certainly no less than 3000.
The right image quality
By this we mean that if you are planning to primarily use videos rather than static images, you need to factor that into your decision-making. A projector that has the ability to play high quality videos might not necessarily be the best one for also showing images in the best resolution, so you need to weigh the benefits of what you want and check for the specifications that deliver what you need.
Multiple inputs
A projector to be used at conferences and banquets needs to be flexible, particularly if it is to be owned by the venue. This means that presentations can be shown, no matter what type of different features are used, so the projector needs to have multiple input options, allowing laptops, USB sticks, etc to be plugged in and connected.
Long lamp life
A projector that is going to be used at conferences and banquets is one that will be switched on frequently, so as well as ensuring it isn’t a model that will overheat, you need to make sure it has a long lamp life so that you won’t have to make replacements very often.
