2. Resolution: This is similar to resolutions offered by computer monitors. The greater the resolution, the more information you can display on a screen. 800 x 600 is usually sufficient for standard presentations that do not require a great deal of detail. However, if you require detail or plan to project images and animations (such as marketing professionals), consider a resolution above 800 x 600. Projectors today typically offer SVGA, XGA and SXGA resolutions. SVGA is usually sufficient for simple presentations. However, for more advanced presentations or larger projected image needs, consider going with at least XGA. For extreme detail, go with SXGA.

3. Contrast ratio: This is a measure of a projectors blackest black and it's whitest white. It basically equates to the brightness of the projector over any room light. There is much debate today over how much the contrast ratio actually affects projected image detail. Some say that anything over 400:1 is pretty irrelevant. However, a good rule of thumb is that if you plan on doing standard, still image presentations without too much detail, then anything over 300:1 really won't make a difference in the overall scheme of things. But if you plan on presenting video presentations with great detail, consider going with a projector that offers a greater contrast ratio. At this time, there is no industry standard of measuring contrast ratio. So a manufacturer that claims a 400:1 contrast ratio may project nicer than another manufacturer claiming the same contrast ratio, given that all other specs are equal.

If contrast ratio is the most important feature that you desire, consider the following:

4. Weight: When purchasing a projector, make sure and choose one that is weighted according to your needs. If you plan on traveling a lot with the unit, choose a lighter projector and consider purchasing a hard roller case for protection and ease of transport.

If you plan on traveling with this projector, consider the following:

Other key factors are price and added features such as aspect ratios and wireless capability. If your key usage is home theater, make sure the projector can support a 16:9 aspect ratio so that you can get experience the wide-screen capability of most DVD's. If you plan on using your projector in a room where you want the least amount of "clutter" running from the PC to the projector, consider a wireless capable model. These are just a few of the "extra" features to consider. However, the above listed key elements are generally the most important.
