Frequently Asked Questions

How much space do I need for a compact projector setup?

Most compact projectors can produce a 60-80 inch image from 6-10 feet away, though this varies by model. Short-throw projectors can create large images from just 3-4 feet away. Always check the manufacturer's throw ratio specifications for your desired screen size.

Can I use a compact projector in a room with windows?

Yes, but image quality depends on the projector's brightness and your ability to control ambient light. Projectors with 2,500+ lumens perform better in rooms with some natural light, while lower-brightness models work best with curtains or blinds closed.

Do I need a special screen or can I project onto a wall?

A smooth, white or light-colored wall can work for casual viewing, but a dedicated projector screen will provide better image quality, color accuracy, and contrast. Screens also help define the viewing area and can be retractable for space-saving storage.

How long do compact projector lamps typically last?

Traditional lamp-based projectors typically offer 3,000-5,000 hours of use, while LED and laser projectors can last 10,000-20,000 hours or more. Consider both lamp life and replacement costs when evaluating long-term ownership expenses.
