Renting a projector is not a task to be taken lightly, especially if it is for professional use.

In events or fairs, it is very common to resort to renting audiovisual material. It guarantees us always to have a current model, previously revised, with the advantage that we can choose the most suitable for each occasion.

There are currently a large number of projectors on the market. But, how to get right between so many options?

Tips for choosing the best projector for events

When a projector is required for professional purposes, the best decision must be made considering multiple factors such as the audience we are targeting, the size of the room and the details of the content to be projected.

Some of the factors to consider before proceeding with the rental of a projector are:

• Size and Weight – This is important if you travel often to give talks, meet with dealers, or exhibit in different locations. If this is the case, a compact model that weighs as little as possible is convenient, without interfering with its quality. Do not forget to assess the size of the room and the distance from the screen, as the idea is that all attendees see clearly what appears on the slides.
• The lighting of the space: both brightness and direct and indirect lights influence how the images displayed are perceived. The darker the room, the clearer they will be. It should also be noted that many times attendees need to take notes and require a minimum of clarity to do so.
  Type of connectivity: there are projectors that have the ability to transfer content to a screen from our mobile, computer or Tablet using a WIFI or Bluetooth signal. From them you can also access applications in the cloud avoiding unforeseen events such as certain presentations being misconfigured or that a computer fails and we have no way of accessing the content.
• Quality: there are already projectors that broadcast in HD. At Eikonos we help you choose the model you need to achieve the highest quality. The size of the room will influence, so we advise you in a personalized way to get you the best budget according to your needs.
• The technology: LCD projectors are most recommended for home use. The light from your lamp is divided into three primary colors and its technology is much simpler. It is not the best option if we value the rental of this equipment for the professional field.
• Speakers: If the content you are broadcasting is video, take into account the quality of the audio provided by the projector and consider adding additional speakers. Some projectors have less quality or power than you might need, affecting the image you convey of your company and your own professionalism.
• Whether or not it allows applications. In some sectors, we operate with specific, unusual apps and we are interested in knowing if the projector supports them.
• Internal storage: Always make sure that the projector has enough internal memory to save and project all files and content smoothly and without interruptions.
• Remote control. Depending on the presentations, spaces or presentations, it is essential to have a remote control system that allows you to activate or stop the projector from a distance.
