Projectors

Choosing the right projector

Keep these 3 specifications in mind when you choose a projector.

Light output in short. Very short.

The light output of a projector is expressed in ANSI lumens. The rule is simple. The more light in the room, the more lumen you need to enjoy clear projections. If you want to project a large image, you also need more lumen. So carefully look at the light output of the projector and what kind of space it's suitable for.

Placement of the projector.

Every projector has its own throw ratio. This determines how far away you can place the projector from the wall or screen to get a 1m wide image projection. Prefer a 2m wide projection? Simply double the throw ratio. So determine whether you have enough space for that or calculate the desired distance beforehand.

Connectivity of the projector.

Want to stream via Netflix from the couch or give short presentations at work? Depending on your use, you need a projector with certain functionalities. That's why you have to decide what your projector should be able to do before you choose the most suitable one for you.

How do I choose the light output of a projector?

A projector light is comparable to a light bulb. The light output is indicated in ANSI lumens. The higher the light output, the brighter the light. The suitable light output for your usage situation depends on several factors, such as the size of your projection screen, the projection distance, and the ambient light.

How do you choose the right throw ratio?

The throw ratio determines whether your projector is suitable for in your home, in your conference room, or in the classroom. The right throw ratio depends on factors such as the zoom function of the projector, the viewing distance, and the desired image size.

Which projection methods does a projector have?

All projectors look alike on the outside, but there are big differences on the inside. Each projector can have a different projection method. There are the DLP, the 3LCD, and the LED DLP methods. Each projection method has its own unique features.

Where do you place your new projector?

You can't just place or mount a projector wherever your like. The position of the projector affects the size and shape of the image. That's why it's important to calculate the distance with the throw ratio. This way, you can place the projector in the optimal place.
