Gaming Projectors

Gaming projectors have come a long way in the last few years. They now produce great high-quality images and the best gaming projectors rival refresh rates of some of the top gaming monitors on the market.

If you are looking to take your gaming beyond the confines of your living room TV for a reasonable price, a gaming projector could be exactly what you are looking for.

What is a gaming projector?

A gaming projector is a highly specialized projector that is optimized for video games. By simply hooking up your favourite video game console or device, your game comes to life in front of your very eyes.

Moreover, gaming projectors are optimized to provide the best picture, lowest latency and highest refresh rates for gamers with the benefit of portability.

What to look for when buying a gaming projector

When looking to buy a gaming projector there are several different features that you should consider. You will need to look at the resolution, refresh rate, response rate, contrast ratio, brightness, lamp life, screen size and type of setup for the gaming projector you want to buy.

A good gaming projector will have a minimum resolution of 1080p, 120Hz refresh rate, response rate of 8 ms, 30000:1 contrast ratio, a brightness of 800 lumens and a lamp life of at least 15000 hours. A higher refresh rate and lower response rate will allow for instantaneous reaction time in your games.

Benefits of a gaming projector vs a gaming TV

The myth that gaming projectors are not as good as gaming TVs is just that, an old myth. Gaming projectors are proportionally cheaper than gaming TVs with the same performance when the screen size is factored in. Additionally, gaming projectors weigh significantly less than their comparable gaming TV count parts, when, again, you factor in the screen size.

Moreover, not only are gaming projectors lighter than big screen gaming TVs they are also more compact. Making them extremely portable and giving you the advantage of being able to game beyond the confines of just one location!

Finally, gaming projectors use technologies and components that don’t have issues that gaming TVs can experience such as dead pixels, light bleed, and dirty screen effect. With gaming projectors, light sources don’t diminish and colours don’t fade for very, very long periods of time.
