Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a budget projector in a room with ambient light?

Budget projectors work best in dark or dimly lit environments. Ambient light will wash out the image significantly, making viewing difficult. Plan to control lighting in your viewing space.

What's the difference between native resolution and supported resolution?

Native resolution is what the projector actually displays, while supported resolution refers to input formats it can accept. A projector might accept 4K input but only display it at 1080p native resolution.

How loud are budget projectors during operation?

Most budget projectors have cooling fans that produce noticeable noise, typically 35-45 decibels. This is generally acceptable for movies but may be distracting during quiet scenes or presentations.

Do I need to buy a special screen?

While a dedicated projection screen provides better image quality, budget projectors can display on white walls or light-colored flat sheets. A screen improves contrast and color accuracy but isn't essential for casual use.
