Most people relate projectors with movie theaters because of the large viewing screen. But if given a choice of a display device for movie viewing at home, most people would prefer a plasma TV instead of a projector. After an informal survey, it appears that those who chose other display devices instead of projectors either have some misconceptions or wrong expectations of them.

www.hardwarezone.com® will address these issues with a proper introduction of the benefits and uses of projectors. We will discuss why a projector is not only the best choice for presentations in small classrooms and large conference rooms, but also the best choice for viewing movies at home.
The Projector Guide is an ongoing project with updates. To accommodate frequent visitors who have benefited from this micro-site, the topics covered will be rated for Beginners, Intermediate readers and Advanced users.
