DLP-based projector from Vivitek operates for more than 10,000 hours.

Projectors have been growing in popularity for a number of years for a lot of reasons.

For one, these products can offer a better value when combined with a screen as a cost per square-inch video solution. Projectors have also become increasingly affordable as technologies such as DLP, LCD and LCoS have matured and improved.

Moreover, due to the maturity of chipsets like DLP, manufacturers are utilizing these technologies in new ways to serve a variety of client needs. A good example of this can be found with Vivitek‘s new Qumi Q5 pocket projector.

Portable projectors started to gain steam a couple of years ago, and now with today’s generation of products, solutions like the Qumi Q5 are capable of providing homeowners and business users quality images without taking up much space, or costing much money.
