Picking the right resolution Here are some basic guidelines for choosing the right resolution: Pick a resolution that is adequate for your presentation. If you use mostly type presentations, you can save money by going with a lower (SVGA) resolution. If you are, however, presenting information with a lot of numeric data, you may want an XGA resolution. And for highly detailed and technical presentations, such as engineering drawings, you may need the higher resolution SXGA projector. Get a projector that matches the native resolution of your computer. If you have a computer with SVGA resolution, then an SVGA projector will give the sharpest and cleanest image. sharpcomputervideoaudioconferencing Most of the projectors today can project input signals other than their native resolution, however, there may be a loss of sharpness and detail in sharpcomputervideoaudioconferencing the process. If you have a high resolution computer and a matching resolution projector is out of your price range, choose a projector that is one step down in resolution. Projectors convert a different input format to its native output format through a process called "scaling". Some projector are very good at scaling, thus making the fuzziness in the image very minor. The quality of scaling varies among different projectors. Most include manual or powered zoom and focus, full remote control, enhanced video and data capabilities and increased menu features. $5,000.00 to $8,000.00 Designed for the professional mobile presenter or permanent installations, these SVGA and XGA high lumen projectors range from 1,000 to over 1,600 lumens with weights under 14 lbs. Over $8,000.00 These are usually projectors with either XGA(1024 x 768) or SXGA (1280 x1024) native or true resolution incorporating a minimum of 1,000 lumens of brightness Projector warranties vary from brand to brand. However, they usually have at least one year or more coverage of all parts except the lamp. The lamp will sometimes have a 90 day warranty. Some manufacturers also offer a 24 hour replacement service. In some cases, this may cost extra. Contrast Ratio is the ratio between the whitest and blackest portions of an image. The higher the contrast ratio the greater the ability of a projector to show subtle color details and sharpcomputervideoaudioconferencing tolerate extraneous room light. ©2003 www.sharp-projectors.com.
