What brightness level do I require?
Brightness with all digital projectors is universally measured in ANSI Lumens. Tradionally the brightness level for church projectors ranges from 2500 to 5000 ANSI Lumens. Your viewing environment will be a major factor in determining how bright your projector must be. In the church environment there tends to be a high level or ambiant light from windows and electrical lighting. If you use a projector with a low brightness level the image may appear faded or washed. If you only require a relatively small screen size (1.5 metres wide) then a brightness level as low as 2500 Lumens may be suitable (3000 Lumens would be optimum).

In rooms where a large screen size is required (2-3 metres wide) 4000 Lumens or more is recommended to ensure the image does not look faint or washed.

What Resolution is right for me? [top]
A native resolution is essentially a measurement for the number of pixels being projected. Usually this is represented in a number of pixels width to height e.g. 1280 pixels width and 800 pixels high. Projectors can accept signals higher and lower of the native resolution but will have to convert or compress the signal to display in the native resolution.

The most common measurements are:
SVGA - 800x600 - Great large font e.g. basic PowerPoint presentations
XGA - 1024x768 - Basic Powerpoint and video presentations
WXGA - 1280x800 (HD) - Enough detail to handle smaller text or HD video e.g. Spread Sheets
WUXGA - 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) - The most detail great with full HD movies small text or even fine CAD drawings.

Is there anything else to look out for? [top]
Another feature to be aware of is Keystone correction. When a projector is placed at an angle to the screen, the image will appear skewed. Most projectors offer Keystone correction that will correct this however there are limits on the amount of correction. If you have questions regarding keystone please don't hesitate to call us.

Before purchasing, whether from us or a competitor, please feel free to contact us to discuss the projector you are thinking of purchasing. We like to ensure you are getting the projector thats right for your needs. Many AV resellers and even some projector specialists only hold some models and therefore attempt to sell what they have in stock. At Just Projectors we have a massive quantity of stock available, stored in distribution warehouses in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth. We are therefore never pressured to sell one particular model or 'what we have lying around'.
