Essentially, there are three types of projectors you need to be aware of -- LCD, LED and DLP.

Whichever option you go for, you can be sure to find something that has the right amount of brightness, vibrancy and amount of connectivity to use it at home or at work. Looking back at our latest reviews, we've picked the best projectors for whatever your budget can stretch to.
