So you were going to rent an LCD projector in Miami but decided to buy one instead?

LCD Projectors have become more and more popular in the last couple of years. Projectors are regularly used in classrooms, corporate meetings, concerts, birthday / wedding celebrations, even houses of worship in Florida. Some people have turned to projectors instead of TV’s because they are healthier for the eyes. Yes, they’re better since projectors reflect light while TVs emit it. Others tend to rent projectors for special events or ceremonies to promote their business and services in Miami-Dade and Broward County. 

Whether you’re looking to buy or rent a projector, the following list will help you make a better decision.

1. Hours of use: projectors lights usually last from 1500 to 15000 hours, depending on the quality of the lamp the projector has. Take this into account when deciding which projector to buy. Sooner or later, you’ll have to replace the lamp, make sure the lamps are easy to find.

2. Brands: Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Projector are manufactured by multiple brands, some brands we have trusted along the years Optoma, BenQ, Epson, Sony, ViewSonic, and Panasonic, you can never go wrong with one of this ones.

3. Lumes: the brightness of the projector is rated in lumens. To put it in simple words, the more lumens the projector has, the brighter the image will be. Consequently, the more lumens the projector has, the more expensive it will be. 

4. High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) Connection: It’s important the projector you choose has a HDMI connection instead of a VGA input to ensure a better quality of sound/video. Take into account you’ll probably have to buy the cables separately as they are not commonly included with projectors. 

5. Price: there’re projectors for all budgets and uses. If you’re looking to get one to watch movies at home or present PowerPoint slideshows to a small audience, you’ll be ok with one around $650. 

Remember that no matter which projector you buy, you’ll definitely need a sound system of some sort, because all projectors have very weak speakers — if they have them at all. So you’ll need more budget for audio.
