Best projectors for hosting a Gala or fundraising event

When hosting a large gala or fundraising event, the visual component is important no matter where the event is taking place. The guests should be entertained but also constantly reminded of why they are there. A fundraiser where the entertainment has been top notch but the call to actions have been few and far between may feel like a successful one, but quite literally won’t add up to much.

One of the best ways to prevent your gala event from running off track in this respect is to make sure that the guests are always having the right message and the call to action communicated to them clearly. More often than not, this involves using a projector. A good projector will act as a guide for your guests throughout the evening, showing key images, messages and information that they need to know.

But this will only work correctly if you have the right projector! Here are the best models to have for hosting a gala or fundraising event:

ViewSonic Pro8520HD

 
At a gala or fundraiser, the chances are that there will need to be a good amount of light used at any given time, especially if a large meal is being served as part of the event. But you will still need your projector to be operational and effective, so having the right level of brightness is key at these functions. This ViewSonic model packs a real punch in this area, with 5000 lumens’ worth of brightness to shine through even the busiest and brightest of galas with an excellent picture intact.

Epson BrightLink 536Wi

 
At 3400 lumens, this Epson model doesn’t offer the same brightness levels as the ViewSonic listed above, but it is still a powerful projector that will deliver good results in most conditions. It is a reasonably affordable model, but has excellent picture quality if you want to utilize photo slideshows at your gala, and can create a large image from a short distance as it is a short throw projector, which allows for greater flexibility when dealing with room layouts.

BenQ MH741

 
Another projector with very good picture quality and brightness, this BenQ model offers 4000 lumens, which should be enough to deal with whatever your event has to offer. It also comes with a great deal of flexibility for however you want to display your key fundraising information. It can deliver text and figures with perfect clarity so that guests can see how they can donate, but it is also built for showing high quality video, so if you have case studies which include the emotional side of the fundraising cause, this projector will give you the best of both worlds.

Top sports bar projectors for watching the new NHL season

The 2017-2018 NHL season got underway in October and has already provided plenty of entertainment for hockey fans. There will be much more excitement to come as the 101st season moves towards the playoffs in April, followed by the Stanley Cup Final in June. That means there’s lots of games to watch and if you’re unable to see them in person, you need to decide how to follow the action!

You could stay at home to watch the games with your local TV provider, but there’s always a much more exciting atmosphere when taking in a match-up at a nearby sports bar. However, it has to be a sports bar that offers a large enough picture size and high quality definition to make you feel like you’re actually at the game. Otherwise you’ll be sitting there squinting along with everyone else trying to figure out where the puck is.

This means that most sports bar owners should consider finding the right projectors for displaying games from the new NHL season. Here’s a few suggestions.

Sony VPL-VZ1000ES

 
Hockey is a fast paced game where the action can shift from one end of the rink to the other in seconds, so a good frame rate is essential to make sure fans aren’t left feeling frustrated and confused. This 4K model has 60 frames a second video performance, so there won’t be any problems with stuttering movement from NHL stars. With 2500 lumens of brightness it should also be bright enough to give a clear picture in most sports bars where there isn’t very much ambient light.

BenQ X12000

 
Another projector with an impressive 4K picture quality is this BenQ model, which also makes sure that fans will be able to tell the teams apart thanks to its incredible 8.3 million distinct color pixels. That makes it practically cinema-quality and any sports bar that splashes out with it will be delivering an amazing service for its patrons. It offers slightly less brightness at 2200 lumens, but again this should be enough for most venues.

Epson BrightLink 536Wi Interactive WXGA 3LCD

 
If the venue in question is one where it is difficult to block out competing lights and the brightness of the models above isn’t enough to deliver the required clarity, you need something like this Epson model, which has good image quality without being 4K, but most importantly it offers 3,400 lumens which will ensure that it isn’t defeated by ambient light.
