TV vs Projector: Which Should You Choose for Your Conference Room?

When planning a conference room, one key decision is whether to use a TV or a projector. Both are essential for effective presentations, but the right choice depends on factors such as room size, usage, and budget. This guide will help you make an informed decision and explore how ASTROS wireless presentation enhances any setup.

Key Considerations Before Choosing

1. Room Size

• For rooms accommodating up to 30 people, visibility is critical.

• Projectors are ideal for larger-than-life images, especially 100–120 inch screens.

• TVs are perfect for medium-sized rooms; standard options include 65”, 75”, 85”, and 98” screens.

2. Image Resolution

• TVs: 4K resolution is standard; 8K is available but content is still rare.

• Projectors: Most support 1080p; higher resolutions may require darker rooms for optimal viewing.

3. Budget

• Projectors offer large-screen experiences cost-effectively.

• TVs are easier to install and maintain for medium-size rooms.

What to Consider When Choosing a Projector

• Brightness: 1500 lumens for dim rooms, 3000+ lumens for bright environments.

• Contrast Ratio: 2000:1 or higher for vivid visuals.

• Lamp Life: 2000–5000+ hours; consider replacement costs.

• Connectivity: HDMI, VGA, USB, Ethernet ports for versatile device connections.

What to Consider When Choosing a TV
