    Projector Central reviews the Optoma HD33

    Optoma HD33 3D Projector

    The Optoma HD33 3D projector is causing quite a stir in the bargain-priced 1080p 3D market. Projector Central breaks down the features of this $1500 gem in their recent review.

    “This is the first 1080p 3D projector to break the $3000 mark, let alone the $1500 mark, and that in itself is worth getting excited about. Add to that the HD33′s solid 2D performance, great color, radio-frequency glasses, and virtual absence of crosstalk and you’ve got a projector that is a solid value at twice the price.” – Projector Central

    Available just in time for football season, we rate the Optoma HD33 as a first-string playmaker for a practice squad price!

    Best Projector for College Students – Vivitek Qumi

    Or as we like to call it: the Mighty Mouse of projectors. College students love the Qumi for its size (wayyy smaller and lighter than your Chemistry book) and ferocious features: it’s 3D-ready, high-definition and includes an LED lamp, so you’ll never have to buy an expensive bulb!

    The Qumi can easily be connected to a variety of devices including, but not limited to smart phones, laptops, netbooks and tablets, digital and video cameras. Brighter than most comparable projectors, the Qumi is available in both black and white versions in case you want to color-coordinate with your new iPhone. Sweet!

    Best Projector for Travelling Professors – Hitachi CPX9

    Are you a road-warrior teacher, travelling from classroom to classroom, who needs a light, easy-to-use projector at an affordable price? Hey, we know those adjunct positions don’t come with lots of dollar signs attached, but we’re here to help!

    Check out the Hitachi CPX9 – our pick for a “major bang for minor buck” projector. At 3200 lumens, the CPX9 is one of the brightest entry-level projectors and is equipped with an LCD lamp for crisp, clear color reproduction. It’s easy to connect to various inputs and includes a built-in speaker… just another thing you won’t have to carry with you!

    Best Interactive Projector Mount for Educators – Chief Interactive Mount

    We love this mount so much that we already wrote a blog post about it.

    Here’s the skinny—if you want a lifetime of interactivity from low-price projectors, make the investment up-front for the Chief interactive mount and you’ll be happily interacting with your content for years to come. The mount works with any short-throw projector and turns any wall into an interactive surface.

    Best Interactive Projector for K-12 Classrooms – Epson 455WIRM BrightLink

    This ultra-short throw powerhouse is perfect for K-12 educators who want complete interactivity without a bulky interactive board.

    The BrightLink’s flexible design allows it to project interactive content on nearly any surface including a wall, whiteboard or chalkboard (by mounting with the included wall mount or on a cart) or a table with the optional Copernicus interactive table mount.

    The flexibility extends to the projection size, too! Educators can easily adjust the interactive projection size from 59” to 96” to suit their space and needs.

    The BrightLink is bundled with RM EasiTeach software, so creating interactive content is a snap. Already using a different kind of curriculum software at your school? No problem! The BrightLink 455WIRM is cross-compatible with existing curriculum software.

    While we love all of the features that make the BrightLink easy to use, your budget will love the price! The Epson 455WIRM is priced significantly lower than comparable interactive whiteboards and is just as feature-rich.

    Vivitek D538W-3D: 2D to 3D conversion is finally here

    Vivitek has changed the game with its new D538W-3D projector. Not only does the Vivitek D538W-3D output in up to 720p 3D for less than $750, it also converts existing 2D content into a very impressive 3D display.

    Vivitek D538W-3D

    That means all your 2D photos, movies and Blu-rays can now be viewed in the third dimension. We first saw the Vivitek D538W-3D’s conversion technology in action at CES 2011. We were pretty dazzled.

    Like many of the new 3D projectors on the market, the Vivitek D538W-3D accepts 3D content through its HDMI input, greatly improving the image quality. The D538W-3D also plays back existing 3D content from your Blu-ray player, and if applicable, your 3D broadcast stations.

    The Vivitek D538W-3D will start shipping this month for $749.99. Pre-order yours now»
