What Projector should I Choose?
Choosing the best projector depends on many factors, there are
many brands to choose from, different features such as brightness, resolution,
aspect ratio, size, throw distance, mounting options, lens shift and many other
options that make each projector different. Some tips on choosing we recommend
are as follows:
 |
Purpose - Decide what you will use the projector for
(Theater/Gaming or Data Presentation) |
|
Aspect - Choose an aspect ratio (16:9 HDTV Windscreen or
4:3 standard screen) |
Deciding on the options above will help narrow down the list of
projectors you may choose from.
|
Lighting - this is important, How dark you can get the
room will also determine what projectors will work best in your situation
(ex. If you need a projector for a church or other establishment, you may
have nearby windows that you cannot cover, if the room stays bright then
you will need a brighter projector) |
|
Choose a screen size - choosing a screen size will
determine the distance the projector will have to be mounted based on the
projectors Throw Distance and zoom capabilities. (this will also determine
what projectors will work for your application especially if you are
working with a small room, or a room that may have ceiling fan(s) because
the projector will have to be mounted at a distance away from the screen
that is based on the screen size and the throw distance |
|
Resolution - The projectors resolution will determine how
crisp and clear the picture is, the higher the resolution the better the
picture. |
|
Contrast - Ratio between the darkest black and the whitest
white, the higher the contrast ratio the better the dark colors will be
because the projector will produce more of a black and a low contrast will
produce a "faded" looking black. |

you know available such as Lighting, Purpose, Preferred Aspect ratio, Screen

how far back from where you will mount your screen...)
