Video projector manufacturers continue to push the boundaries of power and compactness. Large venue projectors offer more brightness, color, and contrast, while portable projectors pack more power and functionality in increasingly smaller packages. In between, prices continue to fall and features abound, giving churches more value per dollar than ever before. Here is a sampling of some newer models that cover the gamut of applications.

Developed by Texas Instruments, BrilliantColor™ enhances color saturation capabilities with an expanded gamut of up to six primary colors to deliver more vivid images.
