What to look for in a budget projector

1. Image Quality

Look for a projector with at least a native HD (720p) resolution for clear visuals. Brightness, measured in lumens, is also important—aim for at least a few hundred lumens for indoor use.

2. Portability and Size

Budget projectors often come in compact sizes, making them easy to move or set up. Consider the weight and dimensions if you plan to use your projector in different locations.

3. Connectivity Options

Check that the projector supports the devices you want to connect. HDMI, USB, and wireless connectivity are common and convenient options for streaming from laptops, phones, or media players.

4. Lamp Life and Maintenance

Longer lamp life means fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs over time. Look for projectors with LED lamps or those advertising thousands of hours of usage.
