Projected image from a video projector in a home cinema. A video projector takes a video signal and projects the corresponding image on a projection screen using a lens system. All video projectors use a very bright light to project the image, and most modern ones can correct any curves, blurriness, and other inconsistencies through manual settings. Video projectors are widely used for conference room presentations, classroom training, and home theatre applications.

A video projector may also be built into a cabinet with a rear-projection screen to form a single unified display device, now popular for “home theater” applications. Common display resolutions for a portable projector include SVGA (800×600 pixels), XGA (1024×768 pixels), and 720p (1280×720 pixels). It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with List of common resolutions. ...

The cost of a device is not only determined by its resolution, but also by its light output, acoustic noise output, contrast, and other characteristics. While most modern projectors provide sufficient light for a small screen at night or under controlled lighting such as in a basement with no windows[1], a projector with a higher light output (measured in lumens, abbreviated “lm”) is required for a larger screen or a room with a higher amount of ambient light. A rating of 1000 to 1500 ANSI lumens or lower is suitable for smaller screens with controlled lighting or low ambient light.[1][2] Between 1500 and 3000 lm is suitable for medium-sized screens with some ambient light or dimmed light. Over 3000 lm is appropriate for very large screens in a large room with no lighting control (for example, a conference room). Projected image size is important; because the total amount of light does not change, as size increases, brightness decreases. Image sizes are typically measured in linear terms, diagonally, obscuring the fact that larger images require much more light (proportional to the image area, not just the length of a side). Increasing the diagonal measure of the image by 25 % reduces the image brightness by 35 per cent; an increase of 41 per cent reduces brightness by half. Luminous flux is a measure of the energy emitted by a light source in all directions. ...
The lumen (symbol: lm) is the SI unit of luminous flux. ...

Projection technologies
- CRT projector using cathode ray tubes. This typically involves a blue, a green, and a red tube. Minimal maintenance is required (unlike projectors that use lamps), although it is seen most often in very expensive fixed systems.
- LCD projector using LCD light gates. This is the simplest system, making it one of the most common and affordable for home theaters and business use. Its most common problem is a visible “screen door” or pixelation effect, although recent advances have minimized this.
- DLP projector using Texas Instruments’ DLP technology. This uses one, two, or three microfabricated light valves called a digital micromirror devices (DMDs). The single- and double-DMD versions use rotating color wheels in time with the mirror refreshes to modulate color. The most common problem with the single- or two-DMD varieties is a visible “rainbow” which some people perceive when moving their eyes. Systems with 3 DMDs never have this problem. More recent projectors with higher speed (2x or 4x) and otherwise optimised color wheels have minimized this artifact.
- LCOS projector using Liquid crystal on silicon.
- D-ILA JVC’s Direct-drive Image Light Amplifier.
The current dominant technology for expensive portable digital projectors is Texas Instruments’ DLP technology, with LCD projectors dominating the less-expensive market segment. This is due mainly to the high quality of systems using 3 separate color wheels, which greatly increases the cost. DLP systems currently cannot be produced inexpensively enough to compete widely in the budget market. High-intensity CRT devices are suitable only for fixed installations. A CRT projector is a video projector that uses a small, high-brightness CRT (or picture tube) as the image generating element. ...
