RICOH projectors - choose the perfect solution
Projectors nowadays when visualization plays an increasingly important role are even a matter of course in the office, company or school.
It is an indispensable tool in a corporate presentation or video conference. The technological progress we have been participating in for several years has not bypassed the field of projectors either. They generate sharper and sharper images provide a variety of formats, run longer are quieter and consume less energy.
What is a good projector? What are the different technologies in projectors?
The goal of any projector is to get the best possible image quality from any signal source. Customers facing the choice of the best projector for them often realize a great many questions. Starting with at least the advantage of a laser projector over a lamp solution. What is the difference between an LED, OLED and DLP projector? Will it be good for home theater? Can a laptop be connected to it? Is there wireless connectivity in the device? and many more. All of these questions are designed to help the customer choose the best possible solution for their interior for their needs.
Tube projectors - or the classics
20 years ago, a standard workplace such as a corporate office or a classroom at school probably had a lamp projector for displaying presentations. The principle of this design, in a nutshell, is a beam of light generated by a bulb and passing through a lens. Such a solution has two main disadvantages, it heats up during operation and is susceptible to dust. Due to which during operation it may also be necessary to replace the bulb. Comparing this with a laser projector, it is important to note at the outset the higher operating culture - it is quieter equipment and easier to use. Of course, looking at all the advantages of laser projectors and disadvantages of lamp projectors, the question of cost arises.
Laser projectors are more often chosen for professional presentations, large conference rooms or permanent installations where high brightness, durability and excellent image quality are key. Tube projectors, on the other hand, are still the most popular choice wherever price is a factor in the purchase.
It should also be noted that the tube solution is cheaper to buy at the beginning, but requires at least new parts, service contact and regular maintenance. In the long run, the work may prove more expensive compared to a laser solution.
DLP projectors: cinema presentation
Multimedia projector with DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology is a step up from the classic lamp projector model. The solution is widely used in projectors for presentations, home theaters, as well as for various commercial applications. DLP technology uses a proprietary micro-mirror system. Moving mirrors are responsible for individual pixels, which translates into image resolution and format. Multimedia projectors or even portable projectors made with DLP technology offer excellent image quality combined with high contrast and color accuracy.
A DLP projector is definitely more technologically complex compared to its LCD counterpart. Of course, this does not mean that it is more vulnerable to damage, quite the opposite. It is the DLP technology that is considered to be the one with more life. That's why DLP projector models are used in harsher conditions - for example, longer working hours.
LCD projectors: offices but also movies
LCD projectors, or Liquid Crystal Displays, are a proven technology, making them relatively common and well established in the market. The principle of operation in LCD projectors is very simple. A beam of light is passed through a system of mirrors and reaches the LCD panels. Each panel is responsible for one of the colors: red, blue and green. In the prism, the combination of the light beams directed from the LCD panels takes place and the light is directed to the lens and then the screen. The newer the solution, the more light we can get in the end result.
LCD projectors are often chosen for presentations in both offices and conference rooms. LCD technology can generate lower resolutions, which in turn can be beneficial for those looking for more economical projector models. The advantages of this technology are its high practicality and low price.
Laser projectors: the most advanced solution on the market
When comparing a laser projector with another solution, you can see the difference at the so-called first glance. This is an innovative visualization solution with excellent image quality and advanced technology. The image quality here is of the highest level. The laser projector uses a light source in the form of lasers, in some cases it is light falling on three independent LCD panels, and in others it uses technology known from DLP solutions. Providing a clear image in almost every range, and importantly, they do not require incandescent light bulbs. Laser projectors also do not require much maintenance and can work for a very long time even years.
Among the many types of projects, the key distinguishing feature of laser multimedia projectors is certainly their extraordinary versatility. They ideally, indeed perfectly, work in any environment. Whether in offices for professional presentations or home movie theaters.
Laser projectors are indispensable equipment for customers looking for the highest image quality. Meeting the expectations of even the most demanding users, they find their place in conference rooms or home cinemas.
Laser Projectors - Key Features
High Brightness: laser projectors in their characteristics are distinguished by significantly higher brightness compared to traditional technologies. This makes them ideal for large conference rooms and exhibition halls.
Long Life: A light source such as a laser is typically more durable than traditional lamps. This translates into a longer projector life before the need for technical intervention or replacement.
Wide Color Range: The wide-range color system here guarantees a realistic and dynamic image display, both during presentations and video playback.
Short response time: Laser projections are excellent at handling dynamic images. This makes them ideal for applications where smooth motion handling is crucial, such as in high-definition video projection.
Our recommendation is the latest from Ricoh compact laser projector WXL5860. It takes up very little space so it will fit into virtually any even the smallest office space. It uses DLP technology for image processing by combining it with a laser light source. The feature how distinguishes this model is the function of vertical lens movement, which helps to adjust the image without the need to move the entire projector.
