Brightness Laser projectors produce more brightness than LED projectors. The average Laser projector has about 3500 lumens, while a LED projector has 2000 lumens. So if you had to decide based on screen brightness alone, a laser projector should be the better option. Also, the ambient light in a room affects LED projectors more than Laser projectors. Cost LED projectors cost less than Laser projectors, making them affordable for home use. Laser projectors, on the other hand, are far more expensive and well beyond the budget of most buyers. Lifespan The LED projector has an average of 10,000-20,000 hours of life, while a laser projector has roughly 30,000 hours and above. This implies that if you buy both and use them at a similar rate, the laser will outlive the LED model. Portability Laser projectors are heavy and not easy to move around, unlike LED projectors that are lighter. Portable laser projectors are still much heavier than portable LED versions. Rainbow Effect Rainbow effects are delayed color lags that affect image quality. This effect is common with DLP projectors but occasionally occurs in laser projectors. LED projectors don’t experience rainbow effects because they use separate primary colors for each panel.
