These are the projectors you can buy for under 100. But you must have to consider following things before buying the best projector.

[su_note note_color=”#ebeae6″]Best Bluetooth Adapter for PC[/su_note]

How to choose the best projector?

1. Resolution

Do you watch low pixel movies? Adeptly, I don’t! I don’t get the feeling watching the low pixel movies. So, what if the quality of a movie is a high pixel and your projector can’t produce the same resolution as the quality of the movie. Unfortunately, it will display the video in low quality. Therefore, while buying the projector you must have to observe the resolution of the projector.

The cheap projector can also provide you the higher resolution up to 1080 pixel. It is enough to watch the HD movies. Beside 1080 pixel, you can also pick up 800 x 480-pixel projector because it will also support 1080 pixel videos.

2. Lumens

Lumen is one of the most noteworthy factors to consider while buying the projector. Lumen is the topic related to the brightness of the projector. The higher lumen provides you the better brightness. It is often included in the projector that, you need to project the image mostly in the dark area. It is due to the less lumen.

If the projector support higher lumen, you can project the video even at the mild darker place. The lumen radically changed the perception of the quality video. The higher the projector retains lumen the better will be its quality.

The highest lumen we have featured in this post is 2200 which is best in moderate kinda projector.

3. Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio means the ratio of projector width to its breadth. There are several aspect ratios depending upon the type of the projector. Normally, the TV displays the aspect ratio of 4:3. Previously, the projector best aspect ratio was 4:3 But now, the best aspect ratio for the projector is 16:9.

There are several ratios like 16:10 which is typically set for a commercial purpose.

The thing is you have to buy the projector with the fixed aspect ratio.

4. Image Size

What is the use of a projector?

To project an image on the larger screen.  The bigger the size of an image, the more it will be fun to watch. The largest image size we have featured in this post is 170 inches. The size of an image projected on the larger screen totally depends on the projection distance.

If the distance between the projector and screen is shorter, it will display the smaller size and vice versa.

You must consider the size of an image while buying the projector.

5. Portability

The projector must be compact and portable. It must be carried out anywhere we like in order to project the video. Otherwise, it will be like TV placed in the same place for ages.

You have to note the weight of the projector. The lighter weigh projector is easier to carry.

And finally, the portability totally depends on its design. The metal designed projector are often heavier in comparison to another projector. Thus, it totally depends on you, what kind of projector you wanted to use?

6. Speaker and Noise

The speaker plays a vital role while watching movies. First comes picture and secondly sound. What if you hear a noisy sound while watching movies? It definitely disturbs us. Isn’t it?

Generally, most of the projector lacks a speaker. If you are tight on your budget, you must for the projector with an inbuilt speaker.

Most of the projector is attached to the fan. They represent the fundamental cause of producing sound while playing movies. It tries to cool the heat produced by it. These days, the new cooling fan helps to overcome it. Thus, you must go to that kind of projector which I have mentioned above.

7. Clarity

Clarity totally depends upon the resolution of the projector. Whatsoever the projector clarity decreases while increasing the size of the image. You have to choose the projector whose quality remains constant even the size increases. Hence, watching the video in large screen is more enjoyable.

Another reason why you need the projector with the most admirable clarity is that watching unclear video for a long time will definitely harm your eye. Thus, the projector that produces clear video must be bought.

8. Multimedia Support

A good projector must support USB flash drive, PC, SD card, iPhone, Smartphone and many other gadgets. The projectors mentioned above supports all of these functionalities.

What if you buy a projector that supports only USB? Wholly, you can’t play video games using that projector. Xbox and pc needed HDMI cable to connect it to the projector.

9. Lamp life

Everybody wants a long durable device. In the case of a projector, it totally depends upon the lamp life. The projector that has a long lamp life will be more durable. After a certain lifespan, it will die. Accordingly, you need to replace another lamp.

Thus, you need to find out the lamp life with higher lifespan. In addition, it must be reliable to replace.

Conclusion

Projectors are used to experience video on the larger screen. The video will be fun to watch only when it produces a better picture and sound. It is not necessary that you need to invest a thousand dollars to experience the moment.

You just need to know how to choose the best projector at the cheaper rate.
