Throw Distance Matters
A projector's throw ratio determines how far it needs to be from the screen. Get this wrong, and you'll either have a tiny image or need to mount your projector outside your room. Our tables show exact throw distances for every projector.
Resolution vs. Screen Size
A 4K projector on a 100" screen looks stunning, but the same resolution on a 200" screen may show pixels. Our guides help you match resolution to your planned screen size for optimal sharpness.

Throw Ratio

Contrast Ratio

Lumens
A measure of light output. More lumens means a brighter image, important for rooms with ambient light.
