Depending on the type of presentation, you can use either a DLP (Digital Light Processing) projector or a LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) projector. For Powerpoint presentations, LCD projectors are the best choice because LCD has a sharp, bright picture and higher lumens output. For video DLP projectors give better quality. If you are looking for portable solution then LCD projector is not suitable in that case DLP projectors are best.

Brightness is another factor to consider when choosing a projector. 5000 lumens is the brightest while 1000 lumens is the lowest level projector. 6000 lumens projectors are the best for large trade shows in convention centers where you are trying to reach thousands of visitors. The most commonly used projectors are 2000-3000 lumens. For a classroom you should consider using a projector with more than 1000 lumens. If the projector will be used for larger presentations of 100 or more people a projector with more than 3000 lumens may be needed. The higher the lumens the costlier the projector becomes, however. Projectors with high lumens are also heavier.

Remember that when buying a projector you should analyze your needs first. You may not need to spend as much money as you think or you may have to spend the extra cash to get a projector that suits your needs.
