Long's Electronics
Selecting the "right" projector doesn't have to be a headache. There are some basic guidelines involved in the selection process. Here are three things to consider when evaluating and choosing a projector for your church.
* Throw Distance Measurement: Choose a throw distance that will allow the image to fill the screen.
* Screen Size and Placement: Be sure to choose a screen placement that affords good visibility to audience members.
* Brightness and Contrast : Control of all ambient light falling on the screen is very important.
