The three most important things to consider when looking at projectors are resolution, contrast ratio and brightness. For multimedia-rich displays, choose a projector with a high-definition resolution, such as 1080p or 720p. A contrast ratio of 10,000:1 or higher delivers deep, bold dark colors and vibrant, crisp light colors, while brightness values, represented in lumens, measure the clarity of projected information. Select a 3D-ready projector to stream immersive images from a 3D-enabled device.
