- •Throw distance and whether a short-throw model suits your space
- •Native resolution and light source (lamp, LED or laser) lifespan
Frequently asked questions
- How dark does the room need to be?
- Darker is always better for contrast. Higher-lumen projectors cope with some ambient light, but blackout conditions give the most cinematic image.
- What screen size can a projector reach?
- Many home models comfortably produce 100 inches or more, depending on throw distance and the projector's throw ratio in your room.
- Do I need a special screen?
- A dedicated screen improves brightness and uniformity, but a flat, smooth white wall can work acceptably for casual viewing on a budget.
