Hi, Which 4000 lumens projector would be good for an office? There are no curtains on the windows and no way to dim the room, the reason I am looking for this kind of projector. Thank you. Regards -- Anthony Tai "A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."
while we are on projectors if anyone on the list rents out projectors let me know. On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 10:25 AM, Anthony Tai <jicholatai@gmail.com> wrote:

I've had great experience with Viewsonic and Epson but since I have yet to see a Viewsonic device in Kenya, I would choose Epson. Bulbs do go out on these things. In my experience, a high quality projector (HDMI/DVI connector, good electronics, etc...) doesn't need as much brightness because the sharpness makes it easy to read without needing the brightness as much. I wonder if you could get away with 3,000 lumens from a high quality projector. Maybe a store with multiple epsons will let you evaluate 3 different models for a day in your conference room? Also, what's nice with epson is that it has instant off technology so it doesn't need a cool down period if the electricity goes off or somebody unplugs it. This really helps with longevity which is why I think Epson is the best brand for projectors. -Adam --- OpenStack for Africa: http://signup.kili.io Musings: https://twitter.com/varud About Adam: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 10:29 AM, Theus Owuor <kootie73@gmail.com> wrote:

It turns out that Epson has a whole page dedicated to the topic of brightness. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Landing/color-brightness.do?iref=side... They're saying that colors matter more than whites in terms of brightness - which I think is definitely true and I guess why I've always been able to tell higher quality projectors from lower quality ones. --- OpenStack for Africa: http://signup.kili.io Musings: https://twitter.com/varud About Adam: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 10:40 AM, Adam Nelson <adam@varud.com> wrote:

Thanks Adam. The room the projector will be placed has too much natural light coming in. Like I said, there is no way to do any dimming (government office, procurement issues et al). Maybe the lower lumens of 2000-3000 may be affected by this light?? Thank you. Regards -- Anthony Tai "A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."

Well, the safe choice is just to do 4000 lumens if you can afford it. That's $1,200 and I have no idea if they're available in Kenya http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/jsp/Product.do?sku=V11H451020 If the choice though is between a cheap 4000 lumen projector and a quality 3000 one, I would choose the quality 3000 lumen one. --- OpenStack for Africa: http://signup.kili.io Musings: https://twitter.com/varud About Adam: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamcnelson On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 10:56 AM, Anthony Tai <jicholatai@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Anthony, EIKI is a good model, visit Nairobi Projects opposite jeevan jee. They deal with EIKI and they can demo for you as well, but for a 4000 lumens you need a serious budget. francis On Wed, May 29, 2013 at 11:04 AM, Adam Nelson <adam@varud.com> wrote:
