Oct 8th, 15 / 0 Comments

The Best Business Projectors of 2015The office projector. It can make meetings and projects really amazing, but it can also hold things up, especially if you have a complicated projector or someone who simply doesn’t know what they are doing. With business professionals becoming increasingly busier, there is less time than ever when it comes to our daily schedules.

 

Despite this fact, a lot of companies continue to use cheap projectors. They don’t do any research on the products and invest in something that causes more stress than productivity in the long run. Thankfully, 2015 has offered us up some really great office projectors. Now is as good a time as any to upgrade that old projector in the conference room into something that fits with your modern staff in these modern technological times. Here are the Top 5 Business Projectors of 2015.

Epson’s EX7235 Pro

This projector is perfect if your meetings are never in the same location twice. This projector weighs in at 5.29 pounds and measures 11.7″ x 9.0″ x 3.0″. In addition to that, this projector also supports USB, WiFi, VGA, HDMI, and mobile MHL connectivity. This projector offers easy mobility along with easy use. Booting and choosing your input source takes about 30 seconds. A 3,000-lumen lamp is just the icing on the cake.

Optoma’s ML550

This one may not be the smallest projector out there, but it does have a lot more power than some of the other Pico projectors on the list. The ML550 is extremely portable, weighing in at 0.83 pounds and measuring 4.1″ x 4.2″ x 1.5″. The 550-lumen lamp is the real kicker here, allowing you to project in complete darkness.

Epson’s EB-X11

The EB-X11 is a good, middle-of-the-pack, projector. It measures 11.6″ x 11.9″ x 3.0″ and weighs 5.1 pounds. One particular feature that a lot of users will enjoy is the lens cover that instantly shuts off the lamp and speakers. The lamp itself has a rating of 2600 lumens though the projector is not without its flaws. The projector only has a 4:3 aspect ratio and photos don’t have the sharpest resolution. In addition to that, the USB port can only handle photos and the projector doesn’t have a WiFi option.

Philips’ PicoPix PPX2055

This projector is shockingly small, even compared to other Pico projectors. This one measures in at 2.8″ x 2.8″ x 1.1″ and only weighs a quarter of a pound. This could be a great way to surprise unsuspecting employees with a meeting they were unaware of. Setup with this projector is very easy and you can display almost any content on it. Power is drawn via USB, though there have been reports of this projector not working well with the MacBook Air, plus you’ll need a completely black room in order for the 55-lumen lamp to produce an image you are able to see.

ViewSonic’s Pro8600 & Pro8520HD

If you typically have meetings in bright rooms, or price isn’t a huge factor, then this is the projector for you. The Pro8600 weighs 8.5 pounds and measures 13.1″ x 10.4″ x 4.3″ ith the Pro8520HD weighing 8.5 pounds and measuring 13.1″ x 10.4″ x 4.8″. Both of these projectors run very loud and bright with the Pro8600 having a 6000-lumen output and the Pro8520HD having a 5000-lumen output. Neither projector is particularly good with USB though both have HDMI slots with the Pro8520HD having 2.

If you or your company is in the market for a new projector for your conference room, then one of these 5 projectors are sure to satisfy your needs. Granted, these may not be the best projectors of all time, but they are the best ones that have come out this year.
