Which projector suits me?

The first question you need to ask yourself is what you need the projector for. Do you want to set up a home cinema or do you need it for your business? Because projectors have been part of the basic equipment of conference and meeting rooms in offices and companies not only since the advance of digitalization, but also in educational institutions such as universities and schools.

Private users: A cinema experience in your own four walls

For private use, a Full HD projector with 16:9 resolution is usually recommended. If you want to enjoy a high resolution, we recommend the 4K projector, which delivers even sharper images. However, the projection area must also be taken into account here, as a 4k resolution cannot develop its full optical effect with a small area.

In general, it is important to ensure that home cinema projectors provide high-contrast images.

Business application: Media technology for your conferences or presentations

For business applications, it is more important that your projector has excellent lighting installations in order to be able to produce detailed images, graphs and diagrams during presentations. However, there is a wider range of options to meet the individual media technology needs of your company: Do you need large-scale projections that perhaps also show your images, videos and presentations in the best light at events? Or do you prefer internal short presentations or video calls in your office, so that modern short-distance projectors or even mobile versions are an option for you? Room size is almost as important here as the purpose of use, as the ideal integration of the device depends on both the room and the number of people in the room.

Of course, we at ComPeri are at your disposal at any time for the integration of image technology into your spatial possibilities, from the concept to the holistic solution in terms of media technology.

The large selection of projectors is also due to the different projection technologies. There are LED, laser, LCD, DLP and LCoS projectors. You can quickly find out which technology is right for you with our list of the features of each projection technology. Finally, we have also summarized all the advantages and features of the devices in a table.

Home cinema technology at its best: with the DLP projector for the home

The light from the projector is projected onto the screen with the help of small reflective mirrors. The result of Digital Light Processing (DLP): particularly high-contrast images make home cinema a very special treat. This variant is also suitable for living room sizes - it's best to ask for advice!

High-end home cinema: the LCoS projector

This technology is based on both DLP and LCD technology. LCoS enables a high pixel density and an immensely high resolution up to 4K. These projectors are also suitable for 3D projections. Even if or precisely because this projection technology can make a visit to the cinema superfluous, LCoS projectors are located in the higher price segments.

Energy-efficient and durable: the LED projector

LEDs can be relied on for more than just room illumination: LED light-emitting diodes are also used in projectors and such models are the perfect choice for companies and educational institutions. Hardly any ventilation noise and no significant heating of the projector – it also does not consume much energy. The LED projector is particularly popular for flexible use as a mobile version. However, as it does not have the highest light intensity, it should primarily be used in rooms that can be darkened.

Also works in bright light: The laser projector

Innovative laser diodes deliver what LED diodes cannot: A high light output makes room darkening obsolete. In addition, laser projectors are just as energy-efficient as their LED siblings and are in no way inferior to them in terms of longevity. So if the spatial conditions of your company or educational institution make dimming impossible, the laser projector supports your presentations at any time of day and in any lighting conditions.

Bold colors for texts and diagrams: The LCD projector

Functions almost like a slide projector, but with the highest image quality: Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) technology separates light into the primary colors and reassembles the images via screens. With this technology, this projector variant enables you to achieve Full HD quality, which is best suited for presentation technology. However, the technology reaches its limits with fast moving images and color streaks can occur. LCD projectors are therefore rather unsuitable for video calls or home cinemas.

The comparison of all projection technologies by area of application

It therefore depends on what you want to use the projector for, where you want to use it – but also how your entire media technology is set up. For frequent conferences via video call, your sound technology should also be set up for this purpose. A home cinema, on the other hand, cannot do without a good sound system: The best HD images of your favorite film will fail miserably if you have to endure a mono sound backdrop from tiny speakers.

We at ComPeri are guaranteed to find the right projector for your requirements. You will only find quality projectors from renowned manufacturers that impress with their brilliant video and image quality. We will be happy to advise you on the various technologies and take care of cabling, programming and media control, whether it's a 4k laser projector, a high-intensity business projector for your conference room, Ultra HD products for the perfect home cinema or even a large-format screen. We look forward to hearing from you contact us!
