Displays vs Projectors: Choosing the Right Solution for Your Commercial Space
Posted by Tom Brown on 27/02/2025
Creating a productive and engaging environment for meetings, presentations, and collaboration is essential for modern businesses. A key component of any commercial space is the visual display system, which serves as a centrepiece for effective communication. An important decision many organisations face is choosing between displays or projector screens for their commercial spaces and meeting rooms.
At AV Xpert, we’ve seen a growing trend in the popularity of high-definition displays over traditional projector screens, but the choice isn’t always clear-cut. Both options have their unique strengths and are suited for specific applications. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of both displays and projectors, compare the two, and help you decide which is right for your business.
How Do Displays and Projectors Compare?
Both displays and projector screens offer distinct advantages, and the right choice depends on your business needs.
Here is a breakdown of the benefits of displays and projectors:
Displays
Modern flat-panel displays are cutting-edge solutions that combine sleek design with outstanding performance. Perfect for small and medium-sized spaces like meeting rooms, huddle areas, and offices, they offer exceptional image quality and high-definition resolutions.
Key Benefits:
Image Quality
Displays provide outstanding brightness, colour accuracy, contrast between dark and light and ultra-high-definition 4K resolutions, whereas projectors tend to offer just high definition resolution. This ensures a clear and vivid picture making them ideal for detailed presentations or media-heavy content.
Clarity
Flat-panel displays maintain image clarity in various lighting conditions, including brightly lit rooms. In contrast, projectors may struggle in high ambient light settings unless opting for a high-lumen output projector, paired with specialised screens designed to reject ambient light, but these features would significantly increase costs.
Cost Effectiveness
Historically, flat panel displays, particularly larger size screens, have been very expensive, but in recent years larger displays, even up to 100 inches have started to become far more cost effective, whereas projectors have remained largely the same price.
Space Efficiency
In smaller environments where space is limited, flat-panel displays are advantageous due to their slim profiles and wall-mounted capabilities. Projectors require adequate distance (throw distance) from the screen to achieve the desired image size, which may not be feasible in smaller rooms.
Projectors
While displays are gaining popularity, projectors and projector screens remain a reliable choice, particularly for larger meeting rooms and spaces.
Key Benefits:
Large Spaces
Projectors excel in delivering large images, which is particularly beneficial in sizable conference rooms or auditoriums, helping to ensure visibility for all attendees. If you need a screen size of over 100 inches, projectors can often prove more cost-effective than displays.
Image Quality
Modern projectors deliver impressive image quality, especially when paired with a high-quality screen. They provide sharp visuals and vibrant colours, making them an excellent choice for large-scale displays. However, projectors can face challenges in environments with high ambient light. Even if equipped with high-lumen output and paired with specialised screens designed to reject ambient light, there is still no competing with sunlight.
Scalability
Projectors allow you to adjust image sizes to suit the room’s layout and audience size. Whether you’re hosting a large conference or presenting to a smaller group, a projector offers scalability for your event.
