The projector brightness depends on the ambient room light and the size of the screen. Larger screens need more lumens for better image quality. On the other hand, projectors with lower lumens can work well in a dark room.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Though projectors under 1000 lumens are the most affordable, they work well only in extremely dark rooms with small screens.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you have an average-sized display screen and a dimly-lit room, 1000 to 2000 lumens is the best range of projectors for your media room.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The 2000-to-3000 lumens range can handle any screen size.

You can see the throw ratio of your projector in the product specifications. So, if the throw ratio of your projector is 3 and the screen size is 5 feet, you need to place the projector at a distance of 15 feet from the screen. When it comes to the throw distance, there are two types of projectors: long throw distance and short throw distance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4301 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.octaneseating.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/screeniviewing-angle-size.jpg\" alt=\"viewing angle of movie screen in home theater\" width=\"808\" height=\"435\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long throw distance projectors are ideal for a large<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/octaneseating.com\/blog\/complete-home-theater-setup-guide-movie-buffs\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home theater setup<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> having considerable seating area such as three or more rows of recliners.

The rule of thumb is that the higher the resolution is, the clearer and sharper the picture will be. A native resolution of 1280 x 768 is sufficient for playing videos with 16:9 aspect ratio, particularly if you intend to connect the projector to a computer or a laptop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, 1280&#215;720 resolution is required to play 720p HDTV videos.

Over the years, video projectors have become increasingly affordable. Plus, they are easy to install. However, choosing the right projector model can be a demanding process as you have to take into account several technical aspects such as projection systems, aspect ratios, resolutions, throw distances, and brightness.
