Title: Thinking of Purchasing a Projector for the office
Post by: Mez on May 08, 2013, 04:33:47 PM

So i'm running an office and we have space for a projector setup. My question is...
Is it viable in this day and age? Or should I just spring for a Fairly large monitor and wall mount that badboy?

The Plus about the projector is that I can lug it around to presentations, but maybe the monitor may be more suited for in-office pres?

Thoughts? Suggestions?
Have projectors become cheap enough that buying a new one might be more viable?

Darkened room + LED projector = low cost, decent resolution, portability and longevity.

Something like this perhaps...

Projectors are still very viable for presentations and mobility.

Did tons of research on LCDs as a replacement but Projectors managed to hold their own. Especially since their price has come down quite a bit.

Go through and score

...but the price of LCD/LED TVs have come down more.

I say get both.  TV for the office, and small, cheap projector to lug around.

Hrmm, Arcman I can only have one.
I think projector makes some more sense, simply for portability.

Brand for bang for buck? Awesome suggested one.

Here's a nice little comparison between lcd and dlp...

I think for your purposes, the dlp is the best choice.
