LCD Projector Rentals

LCD projector rentals are enormously popular for giving Powerpoint presentations to group or meeting as well as projecting video onto a large projection screen. Simply hook up your laptop or DVD player and away you go. To get the best results, though, you need to take in several environmental conditions to make sure that image you want to project will come through to your audience.

LCD Projector Brightness as Defined by Lumens

The brightness of the LCD projector is defined as a unit of Lumens - a measure of light as it falls on a one square foot area. The higher the lumens, the brighter the image. With LCD projectors, the higher the lumens, the bigger the bulb, the heaver the projector, and the hotter it runs. All these will factor into which LCD projector rental is right for you.

Ambient Light, Surface, and Size of Image

A very important consideration in renting an LCD projector are the external factors. Ambient light on the projection screen or surface will affect how the image is viewed. If you're giving a Powerpoint presentation to a group of physicians in darkened restaurant at night, a 1000 lumen projector is more than adequate. If you're presenting to 1,000 people in a hotel ballroom with the overhead lights on, a 5200 lumen projector may be the LCD projector that you need. The larger the image, the more brightness you need to cast. Your Best Computer Rentals professional can help you decide which is best for you.

Make Sure You Have the Right Cords

If you're hooking your laptop computer up to your LCD rental, you'll need a 15-pin VGA cable. If you're using a video source such as a DVD/VCR Combo or a cable television converter, you'll need to use a video or S-video cable. With all your LCD projector rentals, Best Computer Rentals will provide you with all the different cables as well as a protective carrying case.
