Best Projector For Classroom Teaching

Updated 13-08-2023

Are you looking for the best Projector for classroom teaching? Whether you’re a teacher new to projector technology or just looking to upgrade, we’ve got you covered. We’ll walk you through everything you need to know before making your purchase and share our top picks for classroom projectors.

There are a lot of different factors to consider, but we’ll help make your decision easier.

Resolution

The resolution is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing a projector for the classroom. You’ll want to ensure that your chosen Projector has a high enough resolution to clearly display your lesson plans and presentations.

Read more about: What Is A Good Resolution For A Classroom Projector.

• Color Resolution

Color Resolution talks about the number of colors each pixel generates (or is capable of generating). The image will be more life-like the more colors the pixels it’s made up of can generate.

In the early 90’s the goal for each pixel was 16 million colors. Now, new projectors boast more than 68 million colors per pixel.

• Image Resolution

Each image is made up of tiny dots, each making up the whole picture. If a photo is taken and is run through a shredder, all the specs of photo paper could be pieced together (in theory) to make the original image. This is what projectors do. They take images that are broken down in to pixels and pieces them together into projections that are displayed on screens, making an image.

The more pixels there are the higher the resolution of the projector and the better the image is regardless of if it is a video or test. The projector’s resolution decides the detail a projector can deliver.

There are a couple of ways to describe resolution:

1. In acronym form : XGA, SVGA, HD, WXGA
2. Vertical and Horizontal pixels the projector is capable of displaying in width and height.
   • XGA is 1024 x 768
   • HD 720 is 1280 x 720
   • HD is 1920 x 1080
   • SVGA is 800 x 600

The more pixels your projector is capable of displaying, the better the image detail will be when the image is enlarged. If you’re using a 4:3 aspect ratio, the two choices you’ll primarily be able to use would be XGA or SVGA, with XGA being able to deliver the better image.

Brightness

Another important factor to consider is brightness. You’ll want to ensure that your chosen Projector is bright enough to be seen clearly in a classroom setting. If you are unsure about projector lumens, read our detailed guidelines. You’ll want to consider a few things, such as: 

• How much ambient light is in the room?

Dark rooms give the best image despite the brightness of the projector. Keeping a room dark isn’t considered ideal in places where note-taking, interaction, and eye contact are a part of the goal. Classrooms where lights can’t be turned off or where they can’t be dimmed from inside the room or even where the windows can’t be covered or blocked will require a projector with a high brightness rating. These same projectors when placed in dark rooms may result in eye strain; most projectors, however have an economy mode that allows individuals to lower the brightness the projector puts out by 20 percent while extending the life of the lamp at the same time.  

• What is the screen’s gain?

Screens reflect a fixed amount of light; the place the screen distributes the light is decided by the screen’s gain. Screens with a gain of 1 provide the highest angle. This means, essentially, students to the right and left of the screen will be able to see the image easily. Screen with a higher gain that 1 increase the brightness of the content towards the room’s center at the expense of displaying dimmer content to the room’s sides. This also means that higher screen gain have narrower viewing angles. Gains between 1 – 1.5 are suitable for classrooms. If you’ll need a higher gain check with the screen supplier or your your installer.

• How far away is the furthest student?

The answer to this question will help you determine the size of the image required by students. The bigger an image is, the brighter the projector will have to be for the image to be seen. The screen’s height should be around 1/6 of the distance to the furthest student.

• What kind of screen will be used?

Most of today’s screens make allowances for light that strikes the screen at extreme angles so they’re absorbed rather than reflected by the screen. This also helps them maintain high image quality by completely removing light and maintaining both image quality and contrast.

• Can a chalkboard or wall be used for a screen?

Yes, chalkboards and walls can be used as screens but beware that both brightness and image quality will suffer. Most of projectors today, have a blackboard mode. This mode essentially determines the projection surface’s quality and optimizes the projected color accordingly. If you want to have this option, make sure to seek a demonstration so you are sure that you’re satisfied with the delivered results.

Inputs

You’ll also want to ensure that the Projector you choose has the proper inputs for your needs. If you plan on using a laptop or other computer with your Projector, you’ll need to ensure that it has the correct input ports.

Ceiling mount

If you’re looking for a projector for the classroom, you may want to consider one that can be ceiling mounted. This will allow you to free up desk or table space in the classroom.

Screen size

Finally, you’ll want to consider the screen size. You’ll want to ensure that the Projector you choose can project onto a large screen for your classroom.

If the projector you purchase doesn’t come with a screen, you may want to consider purchasing one when you choose a projector as the image will be better on a screen rather than being projected onto a chalkboard or a wall. Having a better image quality helps keep your student’s attention.

To figure out which screen size you need, measure the distance from where you’d like to put the screen to the student that is the furthest away from the screen. The screen’s height should be 1/6 of the distance. This height is suitable for both text and video. The student closest to the screen, shouldn’t be any closer to the screen that double the screen’s height and the screen’s bottom should be at least 4 ft above the floor to be seen the whole class.

Contrast Ratio

In its simplest form, contrast ratio is the ratio of light that’s reflected from an all black image and an all white image. Projectors with 3000:1 contrast ratios mean that the white image is 3000 x brighter than the black image. The higher the contrast ratio, the more detail one will be able to see on the projected image + regardless of it’s video, text, pictures, graphs, or numbers. Contrast allows us to see the subtle shading colors. It essentially about detail.

Four things in the classroom will have an effect on contrast:

1. Your screen: Make sure to use a projector screen instead of a chalkboard or wall
2. The color of the classroom’s ceiling, floor, and walls: The darker the classroom, the better
3. Lights in the room: Turn down all lights if you can
4. Uncovered windows: Cover all windows if you can

If you’ve done all things listed above, your last option is to opt for a brighter projector. Bright projectors can mitigate, not get rid of, the impact of ambient light on projected images.

Keystone Correction

If a projected image didn’t look rectangular to you before, then you’ve experienced keystone errors before. This issue comes up when the projector isn’t perpendicular with the surface projected on.

If the bottom and top of the image are at different lengths, then the vertical lens shift may fix this issue. All you have to do is, without moving the projector, using the vertical lens shift, lower or raise the image to turn the trapezoidal image into a rectangular one.

If you’re aware of keystone issues, you may be wondering, “Why not use digital keystone features?”. Digital keystone features are usually present on most projectors nowadays and allows projectors to square the image if it is slightly off. Just make sure you know that using digital keystone correction can cause a few issues that might get in the way of your use.

For starters, it’ll square the content by using digital scaling to shrink the long side of the image. All this means is that information is removed which results in the scaling artifacts being evident in the content.

ex. Text will be kind of blurry in the area of the image that’s scaled. The blurriness won’t be as evident if you’re projecting photos or video. It can also result in some loss of brightness due to the image being smaller the display’s native resolution. If you’re moving a projector between classrooms or if there are constraints in a fixed installation, the horizontal or vertical lens shift will be the best solution.

Networking

If you’ve ever had to connect to the internet or a computer network then you understand how powerful networking is. Networks allow us to manage devices and share information between large groups of people remotely. Projectors can also be networked.

By networking a projector one can save money and time. Projectors must have either a wireless or wired connection that identifies it uniquely among all the projectors in the school. With this distinct address, school IT administrators are able to locate the projector within the network, detect a possible lamp failure or theft, communicate with it, connect it to the internet, identify the need for troubleshooting or maintenance, connect a group of projectors for a common presentation, permit the sharing of course material, or make sure all projectors that aren’t being used are shut down to lower lamp replacement costs.

Portable Projectors

Typically, the projector’s weight is in direct relation to what it’s used for as well as its brightness. Out of the nearly 1200 projectors on the market they have a weight range of 400 pounds for the more heavy duty projectors (higher brightness) and 5 ounces for the lightest pico projector.

if one looks at the entire group of portable projectors (less than or equal to 5 pounds), we’ll find that the average lumens per pound is at 35.2. When weight is an issues, regardless of where you’re traveling to, you’ll still want to have a projector that delivers adequate brightness. Portable projectors will deliver this, but one must also consider fan noise.

The more brightness delivered by the projector, the more heat it will generate and in smaller projectors, getting rid of this heat can be difficult. Make sure to check out the audible noise rating on the projector before you purchase it.

The audible noise rating is measures in dB (decibels). Projectors with an audible noise rating of 30 are about as quiet as a library while those with a noise rating of 65dB is around that of normal conversation. When you choose a projector make sure to consider the audible noise. Too much audible noise will serve as a distraction to your and your company. Before regular use try to test the projector out to see how loud the cooling system really is.

*side note: lower frequency sounds are usually more distracting than lower frequency ones

More portable projectors do, however, have a higher likelihood of being stolen, especially if it is shared and moved frequently between areas. Try out a policy that ensures that it is returned to it’s original area after use to prevent theft.

Interactive Whiteboards

If you’d like something that is 4 presentation tools in one, consider purchasing an interactive whiteboard. They can be used as following:

• A projector screen
• Interact whiteboard
• Traditional whiteboard
• An electronic copy board

The true potential of an interactive whiteboard is typically seen when used as an interactive whiteboard(sounds redundant, we know). Projectors project a computer’s desktop onto the interactive whiteboard, which allows the instructor to control the app with the use of a finger, pen, or something similar rather than clicking a mouse or a keyboard. The information shown on the whiteboard will be captured and saved so it can be used later.

Boards are typically on a floor stand or mounted onto a wall. Screens can then be used to show computer software, videos and web pages to a class, regardless of what the content is on originally (CD-ROM, DVD, or VHS).

Throw Distance & Zoom

The throw distance is the distance from the projector Len’s tip to the screen.

The throw distance decides where the projector sits in the class in relation to the projector’s screen. For a projector, the image’s width(W) in relation to the throw distance(D) is called the throw ratio (D/W). The most common throw ratio is 2.0. For each foot of image width, the projector has to be 2 feet away or D/W is 2/1 which equals 2.0. If you’re using a projector with a 2.0 throw ratio have an image width of 5 feet, then the throw distance is 10 feet. If the distance from the screen is 20 feet the image is 10 feet wide. The throw ratio is a simple formula that lets you figure out the image width or throw distance given that you know one of the above measurements. If the projector you use has a throw ratio that is different from the one above, you can figure out the image width or throw distance.

Why would you want to do that you ask? There are a few reasons. The first reason is that you may have a mobile projector, and in this situation having a zoom lens is great for setting up the projector in rooms where you don’t have a whole lot of control over the size of the screen or where the projector is placed. Also, if you have a projector in a fixed location, having a zoom lens gives you greater flexibility on where the projector is installed. Finally, if you choose to switch to a larger or smaller screen with a fixed installation, you have the chance of changing out the screen without having to have the projector moved.

1.2 is the most common zoom ratio in today’s age. If you have a 1.2 zoom ratio, you can change the image size by 20 percent by adjusting the zoom lens. Projector zoom ratios vary from .4 to 2.1; you can go higher or lower by getting a projector that has optional lens support. Like professional cameras, projectors that have optional lenses can give solutions for any need, with a more expensive price range.

If you have a projector with a super short throw or a short throw lens, you’ll be able to make larger images with a shorter throw distance. This can work well in classrooms as they allow for more mobility.

Lamp Life

Like other light bulbs, projector lamps have a finite lifetime. The life of a lamp is stated in hours and is representative of the number of hours the lamp has before it is at half of it’s original brightness.

One of the largest expenses of owning a projector is replacing the lamp, so make sure to budget that in before you purchase it.

A replacement lamp for classroom projectors with a brightness rating of 2000 – 3000 lumens will vary from 200 to 500 dollars and will last from 2000 to 5000 hours depending on the conditions of the room, the lamp technology, and the cleaning air filter frequency. Lamp life is based on statistical averages.

ex. A 2000 hour rating can fail at any time and at a time that is well before its stated rating or last longer than the average stated.

With us assuming that the lamp gets to to its stated rating, a projector with a lamp expectancy of 2000 hours will last for 2.5 years while being used for 4 hours per day for 9 months a year and 5 days a week. Also keep in mind that lamp warranties typically last anywhere between 90 days and 3 months. Always consider having an extra lamp n hand as they can fail before their stated lamp life.

To get the most out of your lamp, follow the below guidelines:

• Follow the given guidelines for proper maintenance, installation, and handling.
• Keep all exhaust and intake vents clear of any blockages. If the flow of air is blocked out of or into the projector that can result in either projector or lamp failure.
• When you turn off the projector make sure to unplug it after the cooling fan stops. If you unplug it before the lamp cools down, the life of the lamp will be shortened.
• Don’t operate the projector in tight spaces, like bookcases, where airflow is restricted as hot air exhaust will recycle through the projector.
• If your projector has air filters, make sure to replace or clean them as the manufacturer suggest . if the room you’re in has dry marker board, chalkboards, or dust, make sure to check the filter more frequently.
• Reduce the number of power ups and downs of the projector; if you take a 5 minute break, it’s better to keep the projector on rather than powering it down.
• When you change the lamp make sure not to strike or tap the lamp as that can damage the filament.
• When you install a new lamp, you want to avoid touching the bulb as that can result in oil from your hands creating uneven heating and can result in lamp failure.

Operating Cost

Now that you know what to look for let’s look at our top picks for the best Projector for the classroom.

• Filter replacement:

If the projector you own has filters, make sure to service them as the manufacturer suggests. Air filters can get dust build up and said dust can limit the air flow the projector needs to cool down. Projector overheating can damage it and lower lamp life. If the projector is mounted on a platform or ceiling, make sure you can access the filter panel so that replacement time is lowered.

Projectors don’t need a whole lot of maintenance other than changing the filters and lamps. Actually, some DLP lamps don’t need filters. If you use them in dust free environments and make sure to avoid overheating, you can expect use without trouble. If you have networked projectors, the monitoring can be centralized. Networking also gives one the chance to detect a projector’s removal from the network which aids in theft or loss reduction.

• Lamp replacement:

Like any other light bulb, projector bulbs have a life expectancy aptly titled lamp life. This life, as stated in an above section this life span is stated in hours and is representative of the number of hours the lamp will last before it operates at half its normal brightness.

A lamp’s success rate is based on a bell curve, so many projectors will meet the lamp hours (2,000 to 5,000 hours) stated. Some lamps will die earlier but that is still inside of the acceptable life expectancy of a lamp bulb.
