Types of projectors

A projector can be chosen based on different factors, although the most common is to do it either by the image resolution or by the so-called projection or image generation technology. Let's see the differences.

Projectors and image resolution

Although the arrival of 4K has meant a revolution in terms of image resolution, some home projectors still work with HD resolutions on portable projectors, and Also Full HD, although it must be said that these types of sources are being somewhat relegated in favor of the aforementioned 4K and with the first models from manufacturers such as JVC that already work in 8K although not native.

  • HD projectors : HD projectors respond to a native resolution of 1280 x 720. They are the most economical and are currently not considered a solvent option for home cinema. However, this type of projectors can meet the needs of companies and users looking to make their presentations with the highest quality and without disbursing large budgets.
  • FHD Projectors : FHD projectors remain a good alternative for viewers new to home theater who favor spending more content on their budget over native 4K projectors.
  • 4K projectors : Doubling the resolution of Full HD, native 4K projectors reach a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels . Most brands are already betting on the integration of 4K as a native resolution to gain domestic ground and become the choice of all home theater enthusiasts.

Projectors and projection or image generation technology

If you have heard of acronyms such as LCD, DLP or LCoS, you are facing the three types of projection technologies or image generation in a projector. The main differences between them is the way in which we perceive aspects such as colors, contrast or brightness, among others. But how do these technologies affect our movies or content? Let's see it.

  • LCD projectors : Based on reflection technology and the incidence of light, LCD projectors stand out for their natural and defined color reproduction , behaving perfectly with vivid images such as landscapes or animation.
  • DLP projectors : DLP projectors bring together everything a display source should have to offer a perfect visual experience : good levels of contrast, sharp images and adequate brightness for each scene. They are especially recommended for rooms where outside light falls or in poorly controlled rooms.
  • LCoS Projects : Although they are more expensive, LCoS projectors combine the advantages of LCD and DLP technology for a 100% cinematographic result.


Projectors and light sources

The lamp is one of the key parts of a projector because it is responsible for emitting the light that is sent to the screen. It is important in order to guarantee part of the useful life of the projector. High pressure gas lamp, LED and laser projectors are still being manufactured today. What are their differences?

  • Projectors with high-pressure gas lamps: This type of projectors offer a more limited life than the other models and is the type of lamp most used in entry-level projectors .
  • LED Projectors: Something similar happens with LED projectors as with the light bulbs that we can have in any home today. They are a more efficient type of source in consumption and very easy to install in the heart of our projector.
  • Laser projectors: Laser light projectors reach considerable lumen figures and are very useful in spaces with environmental conditions that are not conducive to reproduction. Its ability to illuminate, and above all, its useful life, guarantees magnificent results.

Connectivity

To accompany the experience, it is convenient to look at the connections section of our projector. The physical connections are usually covered by HDMI to achieve the highest definition, but it is also interesting if it has VGA or DVI in case you want to connect it to a PC.

Currently, some projectors also incorporate a bluetooth connection and even WiFi to be able to access content from platforms, other devices, etc.
