Why Buy an LCoS Projector?

Versatility. Have the benefits of both LCD and DLP technologies in one projector. Now you can display your presentation with clear, readable text one day, and watch a movie in stunning detail the next. The absence of “screen-door” and “rainbow” effects in an LCoS projector makes it the clear winner over both LCD and DLP projectors.

All that performance comes at a price: there are only a few LCoS projector manufacturers to choose from and prices are slightly higher than that LCD and DLP projectors.

In this site, you’ll find articles, news stories and comprehensive reviews on the best LCoS projectors that will help you make an informed decision on which projector is right for you. At TopTenREVIEWS — We do the research so you don’t have to.™

What to Look for in an LCoS Projector?

Whether for your home or business, LCoS projectors offer a great picture. Of the many needs they can fulfill, not all LCoS projectors are created equal.

Below are the criteria TopTenREVIEWS used to evaluate LCoS projectors.

  • Resolution: For larger or sharper images, a higher resolution offers more versatility for your new projector.
  • Brightness: A brighter bulb means your presentation or movie is more easily viewed in well lit areas. See the big picture, even with the lights on!
  • Contrast Ratio: The more difference there is between the brightest white and darkest black helps with the overall picture quality. High contrast ratios enhance the finest details and produce a much more life-like image.
  • Aspect Ratio: The preference here is 16:9, as is the way most digital media these days is being delivered.
  • Connections: Don’t let your connections bottleneck your picture quality. The more supported connections, the more versatile the projector becomes.
  • Fan Noise: A noisy projector has no place in business or the home, no matter how good it is.
  • Lamp Life: Lamps don’t come cheap, and the longer you have to go without buying a new one, the better.
  • Warranty: In the unfortunate circumstance something does go wrong with your LCoS projector, you’ll want the peace of mind that comes with a manufacturer’s warranty.
