It began with simple backlit panels that threw text and line drawings up onto a wall or screen. These days, overhead projection has diversified into an array of products businesses use for public presentation, including slide-based models, classic table projectors, mounted digital projectors and other types of tools for audiovisual projection.
Business operators might buy from suppliers of overhead projectors for the following situations:
1. For use in conference or board rooms to present anything from budget to strategic planning.
2. In classrooms to accommodate special kinds of visuals for general learning or specific outlines of procedures.
3. For use in churches, retreat centers or anywhere clients will want to gather to view projected text for songs or services.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Get traditional overhead transparency projectors
You can find online vendors for the classic style of overhead projectors; these models amplify transparent sheets for easy use in the classroom or auditorium.
I recommend: Suppliers of overhead projectors like
Camcor have several product models available starting at just over a hundred dollars. The
Dukane Sunsplash series offer durability and simple design. Look for other models like the
Apollo V3000 on sale at the Camcor site.
Browse multimedia projector models
Along with the old style of free-standing overhead projectors for sale online, sellers now offer a diverse lot of new media projectors. These models are generally more compact and versatile. You can look for overhead projectors that display Powerpoint or slides. Take a look at multiple sites to find a multimedia projector that suits your needs.
I recommend: BuyerZone and
Shopping.com give browsers multiple returns on overhead projectors for sale from overhead projector manufacturers. For an online store site, check out the projector models at providers of overhead projectors like
Super Warehouse, where LCD and digital models are available.
Get mounts for projectors
If your space is limited, you may want to look into mounts for overhead projection devices. Online sellers like Mounts and More offer durable metal models with boom arms and adjustable extensions for keeping your projectors out of the way when they are not in use. Any model that is a reasonable size can be mounted for optimal storage; it's also easier to work with mounted projectors that are near power outlets and placed for appropriate distance, rather than wheeling out a free-standing unit and setting it up at the last minute.
I recommend: Check out the wealth of mounting products at
Mounts and More's online pages. You can get sturdy mounting equipment to outfit rooms permanently; check product specs from overhead projector manufacturers to see what size of mount you'll need.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide
- Always consider what kind of presentations you'll want to accommodate when choosing equipment. For just text-based presentations, a traditional projector might be great, but for flashy video, you'll want a newer model with a digital interface. Choosing between digital and analog machines, or whether your want a fixed or portable data projector, are choices you'll make based on budget and needs.
