In this buying guide, we will see how to choose a portable projector. Projectors are experiencing a second youth.
From being expensive, coarse, and delicate devices designed for traveling professionals, they have become devices appreciated by the consumer segment of the market by a considerable reduction in terms of prices and dimensions and a general technological advance; think about the implementation of the LED.
Thanks to the growth of recent years, projectors have become a more than dignified alternative. Imagine being able to watch a movie or play your favorite video games on your home wall without having to compromise on quality!
Which projector to buy, though? What do you need to know to choose a quality portable projector that meets our expectations?

LED projectors, the latest arrivals
LED floodlights represent the most recent evolution of floodlights. They are characterized by practically zero maintenance. They may cost more than the classics but are absolutely worth the sacrifice.
Brightness and Contrast
The first thing you need to consider is the brightness. Depending on the brightness value of the portable projector – expressed in lumens – you will get a certain image.
If you intend to project your image in a small room, you may need the equivalent of a 24-inch television; well, with a brightness factor of 10 lumens, you will meet your needs.
The more you increase your lumen value, the more you will get a higher quality rendering in inches and resolution. Clearly, the price will also increase!
Avoid buying devices that are too much above your needs. Consider the preliminary phase criteria such as room size, type of use (video games, projections for video lessons), and an average light level in the room.
Contrast and Size
The contrast value should not affect your choice too much (as in LCD monitors). As far as the portable projectors are concerned, this value can be of interest to you only and exclusively if you intend to use them in a completely dark room.
Being a portable device, you will have to pay close attention to the size. Try to view it live or via video reviews on the web to avoid your new object being too bulky, uncomfortable, or useless.
