Three Top Shelf Portable Projectors

The projector world is full of many types and varieties of projectors, everything from interactive projectors to mind blowing 4K short throw projectors. One thing that many people incorrectly take for granted is the mobility of different models. As not all projectors are created equal in image, neither are all projectors created equal in portability. However, there are a few pico portable projectors that can be just as high end as their larger cousins. 

As there are so many portable projectors out now, you will want to do what you can to make sure your money is being spent on the best possible product. On the bright side, some of the new portable projectors aren't nearly as expensive as you might think. But then again, I have no idea what you think.. so take a look the the following three portable projector offerings!

The InFocus IN1146 Portable Projector

When it comes to the InFocus IN1146, the one thing that needs to be noted is the bang that you're getting for your buck. The starting price for this particular portable projector is only $650. And what are you getting for that amount of money? A lot.. which means the features that this projector is equipped with justify the price. One of the best features is the IN1146's expansive connectivity options. This portable projector gives you the ability to present anything from a USB drive, your laptop, an SD card, or really any smart device. It can also be ordered with an optional WiFi adapter, which could make connecting on the go a lot easier . The start up time for this projector is extremely low as well, as it comes standard with an LED light engine. All of that coupled with the fact that the LED light system offers up to 30,000 hours of use before maintenance make this a very powerful contender for your dollar.

The Epson PowerLite 1770W Projector

The Epson is a bit sleeker looking than the InFocus IN1146. That being said, it needs to be more than just a pretty face, right? The PowerLite 1770W boasts a color and brightness output of 3,000 Lumens. The fact that it goes up to 1080i resolution, coupled with the brightness and color, means that you're getting a very nice picture for what you're paying. Speaking of price, this projector is a bit more than InFocus mentioned above. The PowerLite 1770W will run you around $950. Running this projector at full power will give you about 4,000 hours of usage. Tack on an extra 1,000 hours if you run it in eco mode. The USB port gives the feature of instant projection via USB Plug n' Play. This Epson projector also comes with a 2-year warranty. A bit better than the InFocus's 1-year warranty.

The Casio XJ-A257 Projector

This XJ-A257 is suited for those with a bit more scratch in their wallets. You're going to be paying about $1,500 for this projector, but again, you're getting your money's worth. It's brightness also sits at 3,000 Lumens, just like the Epson PowerLite. The max video resolution is the highest of all three, with 1080p resolution at 60 fps. It comes with a 3-year warranty as well. It's also a powerhouse in the lamp life category. It might not be 30,000 hours, but 20,000 hours of usage isn't bad either! How is it even able to achieve that amount of usage? It's all thanks to its Hybrid Light Source that combines LED light technology with laser technology to give outstanding brightness and lamp life. If you have the dough for it, the Casio XJ-A257 could be the best purchase option for anyone looking into portable projectors.

Though we have just covered three models, there are countless portable projectors out there to choose from. Before making your purchase, just make sure you know what you're going to be using your projector for and what your maximum budget will be. But in my opinion, if those two criteria are a fit, you can't really go wrong with either of these three!

What Is The Next Logical Step For Projectors?

Lets talk for a minute about something that I've really been wondering about lately. I'm a fan of new and emerging technology just like everyone else is. I love the newest tablets and smartphones just like everyone else. One of the technologies that I see trying to push the limits are projectors. There is literally so much that you can do with them nowadays. The technology is becoming more and more advanced at a pretty alarming rate it seems. We've seen a lot happen in the past year or so alone. It just makes me wonder, where is it going to go from here?

I've seen a lot of new technology surfacing for projectors. Whether it be portable, holographic, or interactive, there is no shortage of new features being developed for our projectors these days.

The portability of these projectors is something that has always interested me. The fact that we are such a constantly moving society really makes this a very reasonable step to make with projectors. We are always on the go, and it seems like there is never enough time in the day to get everything done. Why do you think more and more types of technology have been becoming more mobile? To adapt to the speedy society we live in today! Our cars are fast. Our food is fast. Our technology is fast. Unless projectors plan to get left in the dust, being portable is something that is a must for this type of tech. That's why when I see projectors attached to phones, such as the Samsung Galaxy Beam 2, it gives me a bit of hope. The only thing with these projector-infused smartphones, is that they need to make sure that the projector itself isn't going to be some novelty feature and that it is focused on and developed properly.

Holograms are some of the other things that are just downright cool to look at. We're still far from the days of Star Wars technology, but we've already seen some holographic projection at events like Coachella. The closest thing we can get to right now for consumers, however, are projectors that allow you to see in 3D without the need for the glasses. While it may seem like we are backpedaling when it comes to this, there is something to consider; price. It takes thousands of dollars just to MAKE a holographic projector, therefore, the mark up price would make it basically impossible for a mass consumer market. It is really good idea, and I'm all for playing video games via holograms. The developers for this type of technology only need to continue to developing it in order to make it affordable for consumers. The good thing is that we're not far from this technology.

Interactive projectors are a bit more... impractical in my opinion. That is, at least, for the moment. There seems to be just too much that could go wrong with it in my opinion. The projector, cameras, and sensors, would have to go through constant recalibration, I feel. The idea itself is good for presentations. Make an interactive projector that can spruce up a business meeting and make it a bit more lively. That's completely fine. For use in a consumer mass market? I don't see it happening right now. Only reason being because of the limitations of the current technology we are using. Microsoft's Project Ripple has a good idea of where I feel interactive projectors should go. Couple that with holographic technology and you are basically in Iron Man's lab. Add in portability on top of the other two and you may as well be in the movie Tron.

All of these ideas and technologies sound promising. The only thing to really decide is what sounds MORE promising right now? The next step will be crucial in how projector sales continue. Yes, businesses will always need projectors, and that's fine. The real money lies within the mass consumer market though. In my personal opinion, I feel that portability should be the biggest concern for projector developers right now, simply because that seems to be the big trend right now. It's better to adapt now, and increase sales, than wait and deal with the consequences. Portable and Pico Projectors FTW.
