List of Reviewed Projectors Included in the 2018-2019 Classroom Projectors Report

Posted on April 16, 2018 by Art Feierman

Below, we have three charts outlining all the projectors considered in this year’s report, divided into three categories:

  1. Standard Classroom Projectors (6)
  2. Large Venue Projectors – Suitable for higher ed large classrooms, K-12 auditoriums (5)
  3. Interactive and Ultra-Short-Throw (UST) Projectors (5)

We also show Best In Classroom winners from the past two-three years – if they are still current, and shipping in volume. You should also consider those as top choices, especially now that projectors are more likely to be current models for 2-4 years, rather than 1-3 years. Instead of more new models, we see more price adjustments as brighter models (or those having a new feature or two) tend to replace less bright ones at the same price point, driving down the cost each year, both for brightness and features.

We wish to thank Epson America for sponsoring this year’s Best Classroom Projectors report. 

On the following pages, we have overviews of each projector, also grouped by category.
