Projector?

[ciaran33]

Our local art group is looking at digital projectors, something low cost but with adequate features. The Epson EB-S6 looks good, but we know very little about projectors. This model is a step up from their base model, and has the ability to be focused. Can anyone here cast any light? (Ha!).

There are lots of good projectors available. Almost all of them have pretty low resolution until you pay big bucks. The same goes for how bright they are (lumens).

Not being from the UK, it makes it hard for me to suggest brands. I bought a Dell recently and it works. However, I received a coupon for a discount from them the same day it came in and they wouldn't honor it.

Hi

Using a projector to display anything can explode a pandora's box of considerations and compromises - be aware that any ambient light (i.e. not from the projector) in the environment seriously degrades image quality.

Since Home Cinema (or 'Theater', U.S.) is a passion on a par with photography for me, I know of a couple of sites you may be interested in:

http://www.projectorreviews.com/ and

http://www.projectorcentral.com/

the second of which has a multi-part guide to projectors for photography:
