Welcome back to part two of our two-part segment on owning vs. renting an LCD projector. In this installment, we continue looking at pros and cons of each choice.
Maintenance
If you’re considering purchasing an LCD projector, be sure to factor maintenance into your evaluation. Projectors can be delicate, finicky items, and it takes a very gentle hand to manage their ongoing maintenance. (Of course, this becomes a non-issue when you choose to rent a projector). Hiring a service for maintenance may be necessary to avoid voiding your manufacturer’s warranty, but be advised that this is an expensive added cost. Additionally, the projector lamp must be changed (frequency depends on how much you use it), and this one necessary bit of maintenance can literally cost you hundreds of dollars – even if you replace the bulb yourself.
Obsolescence
Another factors that bears consideration is obsolescence. With the rapid progression of technology, there is a very good chance that today’s top-of-the-line projector purchase could become yesterday’s junk in as little as a year or two. Again, if you don’t anticipate using an LCD projector frequently (at least half a dozen or more times per year), then it may make a lot more sense to rent as needed, as opposed to buying your own projector. When you choose a reputable rental projector company like Projector123.com, you can rest assured that you are always renting the latest, greatest, most reliable projection unit available – obsolescence is a non-issue when it comes to projector rentals.
