I'm looking for a table detailing the distribution of video projector resolutions in a business setting (i.e. not home theater or classroom projectors).

Google brings up a number of resources on the available resolutions as a criterion for selecting a projector, but no data on the actual distribution. This is for the design of a tool to be used extensively in this kind of setting.

  • I'm a bit confused as to why "business settings" would differ from any other type of resolution, in fact I would hazard that resolution is not a business or consumer matter but a requirement consideration for the task at hand. Could you expand your question at all? Here's the display resolution Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_resolution – DarrylGodden Jul 30 '14 at 10:04
  • Business setting as opposed to home theater or classroom. These are different categories of projectors. – Vitaly Mijiritsky Jul 30 '14 at 11:08
  • Can you provide the links to the Google resources? – Michael Lai Jul 31 '14 at 00:24
  • @MichaelLai Yes, see update. – Vitaly Mijiritsky Jul 31 '14 at 05:00
  • In the past when questions have been asked about even desktop screen resolutions in business settings there wasn't any good response about what is 'common', so I think it would be even more difficult to get an answer to your question about projectors. However, if the trend with common design is to be adaptive or responsive, how would this information impact on the design of this tool you are talking about? – Michael Lai Jul 31 '14 at 05:16
  • We're trying to identify the bottom limit of the responsive design - the lowest supported resolution. And regardless - trends are nice, but it doesn't mean that they can - or should! - be followed in all cases. – Vitaly Mijiritsky Jul 31 '14 at 05:22
  • I think the struggle is to categorise a resolution as a "business resolution", something intangible and personal as resolution doesn't lend itself to this. Surely the answer is what suits the users needs rather than an attempt to categorise a resolution. – DarrylGodden Jul 31 '14 at 07:22
  • I'm not trying to categorize a business resolution. There's a class of projectors categorized as business. I'm trying to find a distribution of resolutions in that class, that's all. – Vitaly Mijiritsky Jul 31 '14 at 07:28

    ProjectorCentral.com is a great resource as you have found but it has one very annoying UX trait they could easily solve. You cant search for all projectors with at least a 1280x1024 resolution. It only returns 1280x1024 projectors. For years, I thought technology had not gone beyond 1024x768. – rjt Jul 31 '14 at 10:40
