[25/06/2010] Choosing the right Screen size
When choosing projection screen for some reason most people assume that bigger size is a synonymous with better picture quality and better viewing experience. Well, this isn’t always the case.
The size of the screen does matter, but before going for the biggest one, you should take a few factors into consideration.
The size of your room: the screen size should be determined by the dimensions of your home theatre room, the number of seats, as well as the way that these seats are arranged. Watching a movie on a huge screen from a very close distance is nothing short of a nightmare – you will find yourself constantly turning your head from one side to the other and if you decide to watch a few movies in a row, headache and puffy eyes are almost guaranteed.
The light and the resolution of your projector: big viewing screen and low resolution projector don’t agree with each other. If your projector’s resolution is 720p or 480p and you have a huge screen, you will end up with a lot of pixilation and highly visible artifacts. On the other hand, good 1080p projector can work well with bigger screen without a compromise in the image quality. The brightness of your projector’s lamp should also be taken into account and big screen usually requires more lumens.
