How to Choose Home Projector for Movies?

edited March 2020 in Tips & Tricks

Home projectors for movies come in a variety of shapes and sizes and range in price based on a number of factors. In this article, we will focus on how to choose a home projector for movies that meet your needs.

#1 Find Perfect Space

The position of the home projector and its maximum distance to the screen is a vital consideration when selecting this device. For small to medium space, the distance from the device to the screen is usually between 1.5m and 2.5m. For more prominent space, a Standard throw ratio projector can project a 100-inch screen from a distance between 2.5m and 4m.

#2 Select the Right Projector

A home projector with a higher resolution can project images with better detail levels, thus improving your viewing experience. As you are going to use a home projector for movies, it is recommended that you consider a unit with at least an HD resolution (1920x1080p). Most of the movies available today are in HD resolution.

#3 Screen sense

If you want to get the best movie experience, you need to pair your home projector with a screen that is up to the task. There is a lot of choices out there, from motorized drop-down screens to a wall-mounted model. You might want to skip purchasing the right screen and project images onto a white wall instead.

#4 Better Sound All Round

You can expect a great video when you purchase a home projector and don’t consider a sound system. But when you include standard audio, you won’t be disappointed. So, if you are looking for incredible audio to go along with your audio, you will need to get a set of an external sound system to deck out your entertainment system. Moreover, you can use wireless speakers to get the level of volume you desire.

#5 Ambient Light

Home projectors work best when viewers can watch their movies in darkness. The more light from doors or windows that enter your home theater, the dimmer your home projected picture will be. The image brightness is determined by the number of lumens in the home projector, with most projectors for movies ranging from 1000 to 2500, you can purchase a home projector with fewer lumens.

#6 The Media Center

All the things we have talked about so far won’t do you a lot of good if you don’t have the right device which is capable of playing your movies. This could involve as much as creating a home theater PC or as little as purchasing a Blu-ray player. You should have no issue to buy a Blu-ray player, but if you want to build a home theater PC, you have tons of options.

#7 Maintenance

We would recommend that you use some compressed air to blow the dust out of the vents every few months to prevent buildups that reduce internal airflow. You will also want to make sure that the projector lens is very clean before using it, a bit of microfiber cloth and alcohol work perfect to clean it of any debris and dust.

Conclusion

There are a lot of things that go into selecting a home projector for movies, but now we have provided you with detailed information you need to know to choose and use a projector.
