Projectors

[XOR != OR]

Hey all, I need to call on the collective experience of the [H] for a work project of mine. I have no idea what's good or bad as far as projectors are concerned, can anybody give me any ideas?

I see the big names in there ( Sony, Viewsonic, BenQ ), and I would imagine their expertise in monitors might translate into projectors, but I really don't know.

Details: 3 are going to be for small conference rooms/meeting rooms. 1 will be for a large auditorium.

It would be easier if you can share more information to help people help you. For example, what is the light environment of the meeting rooms and auditorium? What will be the display content? Powerpoint presentation or movie? How big is the meeting room?

Lumens(brightness), projection technology(DLP or LCD), and resolution(1080P/xga/svga) are the key elements you would want to take into consideration to match your projector application. I know BenQ seems to make good projectors with reasonable prices (especially after the 10% coupon code).

Here is a link to BenQ's new short throw projector series

Optoma and Mitsubishi both make great ones. I've heard Viewsonic is okay, Sony's super high end ones are great but the low end ones are blah. BenQ isn't really a big name in PJ's afaik.

Viewsonic is not big at all in projector I am sure. BenQ may not be that big in US but they are a big name in projector worldwide. They are number 3 in Europe and top 2 in Asia.
