DLP projection equipment can be surprisingly useful in the business world. In front projection technology, images are projected onto a screen within the room, meaning that the size of the images is only limited by the size of the room in which you place the unit. Enrich company presentations to clients and employees alike with a 1080p DLP front projector, producing magnificent images while educating others about your company. You can spice up your building with a private theater room starring a large, impressive DLP video projector. Using such technology is sure to set you apart from other companies that have not yet embraced what newer technology have to offer.

Finding a dependable DLP front projection TV is difficult if you do not know where to begin when it comes to such technology. You should consider the following before purchasing a front projection TV:

1. Some front projection DLPs are meant for a large meeting room.

2. A compact front projector DLP can travel with you.

3. The contrast ratio should be high so images are clearly visible.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Ensure that the DLP front projector is appropriate for a large meeting room

If you have a meeting room with a large, flat wall available, you can use a front projector DLP for your office meetings. Remember that the larger the room, the more options you have when enlarging or decreasing the screen size. For a screen size of 110 inches, you'll need a room that accommodates the optimal viewing distance of 14 feet away.

I recommend: NP4000 Projector with NP08ZL Zoom Lens is perfect for large venues in which business meetings will be held. You can buy it from PC Connection. The Work Big IN38 digital projector, available from InFocus, is ideal for large meeting rooms, no matter the amount of light present. Many other DLP's work better in darker rooms, so if you do not have total control over the brightness of your meeting room, you will want to purchase a more flexible model like this one.

Find a DLP TV projector that you can take with you on business trips

Whether you plan to travel a lot and have to make presentations during these trips, or just want a projector that you can move easily from room to room, you will be satisfied with compact DLP projection equipment. Such projectors provide plenty of flexibility and convenience for business owners, like small size and the ability to project onto any surface clearly.

I recommend: Toshiba offers the Toshiba TDP-XP1U Mobile Projector, which is light, easy to turn on and shut down without a cooling period, and projects a clear image. The InFocus IN1100-series is compact and easy to set up, and is available at Monitor Outlet.

Locate front projection DLPs with high contrast abilities

A DLP's contrast ratio is its ability to properly separate the bright television signals from the dark ones. If the contrast ratio is low, dark colors are often washed out. It makes sense to look for a front projection DLP projector with a high contrast ratio.

I recommend: The Sharp DLP 16:9 Front Projector has a contrast ratio of 2500:1, and is available at Opentip.com. BeachCamera.com carries the Toshiba TDP-TW100U DLP Conference Room Projector, which has a 2000:1 contrast ratio for a crisp, clear picture.

Tips & Tactics

Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

• •  Most projectors' bulbs last about 2,500 hours, so try to find front projection DLPs whose bulbs last at least that long. Some cheaper bulbs only last about 50 hours, and cost much less. However, these bulbs can sometimes shatter, damaging your projector's lens.
