Hey everyone, I am about to buy a new projector for my office use which must be LED. I need recommendations for selecting one. 
Any suggestions are welcomed!

    You say its for an office but neither of the projectors you've listed are aimed at business use?
    Why do you want LCD rather DLP? Do you suffer from the rainbow effect?

    You do know the M1 is a DLP projector that just uses LED for its light source rather than being an LCD projector using a normal bulb as the light source?

    Other than that they might not have the word "business" in their names, what factors makes either of these projectors specifically unsuitable for any "business use"?

    Ultimately any projector can be used for anything but those targetted at business use tend to be brighter because offices are less well light controlled than a home cinema but may not support things like HDR or have such wide colourspaces as most the time you'll be displaying slides or VC and 100% accurate colour rendition isnt too important. They also often have shorter throw range (ignoring the UST projectors for home use) as they'll be perched on a table in a small meeting room not on the back wall of a lounge
