Projector Screen / Projection Screen Buying Guide
Projector screen is essential equipment if you’re looking for classroom teaching, training, meetings, events, to watch movies or play video games. Read our buying guide to help you choose the right one! What to Look for in Projector Screen.
Projector Screen is required along with Projector to capture and display the Projection. When shopping for a screen for your projector, look for Size, Material (vinyl or a woven material), and Gain. Gain is a measure of how much brighter screen will make the projection. Such as, 1.0 Gain is no increase and 2.0 being double.
Choosing Screen Size
Projector screens come in many different sizes, shapes, and colors. They also vary in price depending on how much light they block, whether they have built-in speakers, and other factors.
Size Matters
If you plan to use your projector screen as a home theater display, then you’ll need a large screen with good viewing angles. You might also consider a larger screen if you plan to project images onto a wall or ceiling. If you plan to use your screen for presentations, lectures, or classes, then you’ll probably want something smaller than a home theater screen.
Choosing for Room Size/ Viewing Distance Every projector has a throw ratio. This refers to the size of image the projector can create for a given distance. This is usually a range, thanks to the optical zoom – you can find it in the user manual or specifications page online (if it’s for a projector you plan to buy). You can calculate the projection image size by dividing the distance between wall and the projector by the throw ratio of the projector.
So if your projector is placed 10 feet away from the screen and has a throw ratio of 1.8-2.22, then you can get an image size that ranges between 54 – 66 inches. Ideally, you should be sitting at a distance that is more than twice the width of the image. To make things simpler, many manufacturers offer a distance calculator on their website for various models. Here, you just input a distance or required screen size. If you must use a wall, make sure it is as smooth as possible (a plaster of Paris coat helps) and painted in flat white.
Tip: Some aberrations can be corrected in-projector (keystone for example) but proper placement is the most preferable. If not possible due to placement/room constraints, then you can move on to digital corrections.
Think about how much light you need
Choose a projector screen based on the size of the room where you will be using it. If you plan to use the projector screen at night, you should select a model that has a brightness rating of at least 1000 lumens. This means that the screen will provide enough illumination to see clearly even when the room is dark.
Projecting on Walls vs Screens
Screens are the best way to get the best performance from a projector. A screen will always be smoother than a wall and it will offer higher, more even reflectance. Some screens have gain – they reflect light better, thanks to shiny particles – and this helps in brighter rooms or if your projector is old or has low brightness. Some screens have black borders that add to the perceived contrast – making the image seem better. Finally, screens are also the correct shade of white/grey, solving the problem of a colour cast that some walls may cause.
