as dark as could beCan run loudlyIf your meetings are never in the same location often, you're going to want a no-nonsense projector that's
For that, we can recommend the Epson EB-S04
Weighing in at 2g pounds, and measuring 297? x 234 x 77mm, it also comes with a carry case included, which makes this a great business
projector for people often out on the road
It supports connecting via USB, WiFi, VGA, HDMI, or the mobile MHL
Not only is it easy to move around with, it's extremely easy to use, so much so that booting and choosing your input source only took a mere
34 seconds in our testing
This is all with an intensely strong lamp, which maxes out at 3000 lumens.It is ideal for those who need a simple, portable projector for
anything except for streaming video, as we experienced quality issues there, with output being either grainy or stuttering
So it's not the best projector for watching films on, but as a business projector, it's excellent.3
ViewSonic Pro8520HDBright images, loud noises, good projectorProjection system: DLP | Resolutions: 1920 x 1080 | Brightness: 5000 lumens |
Contrast ratio: 15000:1 | Video inputs: HDMI, VGA, S-Video, CompositeVery brightFull HDVery loudOptional WiFi dongleIf you're looking to
present in a bright room, or shopping with no worry about price, ViewSonic's Pro8600, weighing 8.5 pounds and measuring 13.1" x 10.4" x 4.3"
(W x D x H), and Pro8520HD, also 8.5 pounds and a very similar 13.1" x 10.4" x 4.8" (W x D x H) are especially relevant
So if you're looking to make presentations to people who drift off when the lights go out, make sure you consider these options
Neither are great with USB, but if you're looking to present video, both have HDMI slots - the Pro8520HD actually offers two, if that's
something you would need.Both projectors render HD color video beautifully, although Pro8520HD arguably over-saturates the colors
While the video on the Pro8520HD is of great quality, you're going to need to have any audio pretty loud, thanks to a whirring fan that
hovered around 79 decibels in our testing
While the Pro8600 suffers the same noise pollution - its fan reaches 65 decibels - it does feature a useful ECO mode that can dampen the
As you would expect from projectors marketed on their HD quality, these units can get an image large enough for native HD proportions.4
Epson EB-S31Small projector, large projectionProjection system: LCD | Resolutions: 800 x 600 | Brightness: 3200 lumens | Contrast ratio:

sizeNot high definition4:3 aspect ratioUsually when you choose a portable business projector you have to make a few sacrifices in order to
have such as small device - but that's not true with the Epson EB-S31.Epson has an excellent reputation with business projectors, and it has
brought much of its expertise to the EB-S31
Its 3,500 lumen brightness is much brighter than many other portable projectors, and means you have more flexibility when setting up the
EB-S31 in environments where there is still ambient light.The EB-S31 is small and light enough to carry around with you on business trips -
but it also has a very large projection size - up to 300 inches - which makes this an incredibly versatile portable business projector.5
Sony VPL-FHZ55The first blue laser 3LCD hybrid data projectorProjection system: 3 LCD | Resolutions: 1920 x 1200 | Brightness: 4000 lumens |
Contrast ratio: 8000:1 | Video inputs: HDMI, VGA, D-SUB, Ethernet | Dimensions: 390 x 134 x 487mmBrightness and clarityContrast and
detailVery large and heavyNo automatic keystoneThe Sony VPL-FHZ55 is designed to be installed once and not moved for a long time
At 26.5 pounds nobody will be volunteering to move it between floors, or even carting it between rooms
It measures 15.3" x 19.8" x 5.8" (W x D x H) and we believe it best positioned on a ceiling, even though that will make it even harder to
With all that size, there is a lot to say about it.Noteworthy for being the first 3LCD projector - a projection chip technology popularized
by Epson and Panasonic - with a lamp-less treatment, thanks to a blue laser light source deployed by Sony
For all that above hype and hubbub, the enormous price should not shock you.It's seriousness isn't just from a top-out of 4,000 lumens, but
the fact that it can go for 20,000 hours, reducing the routine expense of replacing burnt out lamps that projectors generally include.It is
connector heavy, as it should be with that price-tag
The right-hand side is a full set of BNC/component inputs, an RGB D-sub 15-pin slot, DVI-D, monitor output and an HDMI input
On the opposite side is S-video, composite video, various analogue audio ins and outs, an RS-232C control jack (beloved of Crestron control
systems, among others), the DC inlet, and wired LAN.Unfortunately, as we notice all too frequently even with the best reviewed units, there
is no built in WiFi for the VPL-FHZ55, though it can be networked
And the last thing we'll note is that the VPL-FHZ55 needs some room
To fill our 80-inch test screen we had to place the VPL-FHZ55 about 11.5 feet away!6
Asus ZenBeam E1Projection system: DLP | Resolutions: 854 x 480 | Brightness: 150 lumens | Contrast ratio: 3500:1 | Video inputs: HDMI, MHL |
Dimensions: 110 x 29 x 83mmGorgeous designSmallLow resolutionLow light outputThe Asus ZenBeam E1 is a beautifully designed pocket projector
images up to 120 inches in size, and it has a built-in 6,000mAh battery that can power the projector for up to 5 hours, which makes it
rather flexible, as you don't have to worry about finding a plug socket to power the device
In a rather nice touch, the projector can also double as a power bank for other mobile devices.The Asus ZenBeam E1 isn't the most powerful
portable projector, but its versatility, ease of setup and eye catching design gives it a place on our list of best business
projectors.bfc6d7cc48faeaffa13c1526baeeb4ea.jpg#
