Projector Recommendations

Key Considerations:

  • Lumens: Minimum of 3000 ANSI lumens; closer to 4000 is ideal.

    • Look for projectors with ANSI lumens, as some cheaper projectors exaggerate their lumen ratings. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.​

  • Resolution: Aim for 1920x1080 (1080p).

  • Throw Ratio: Look for Short-throw projectors. These allow you to be closer to the house and still cover the whole area, maximizing brightness. Ultra short throw projectors usually warp the image too much to work well.
