So you are tired of going to your friend’s place every
time you want to enjoy new movie on a projector? So why not buy a projector of
your own? You don’t have to save for months to buy a projector, getting an
affordable projector is quite easy these days. Once you buy a projector the
next big thing is to install it. If the installation is not done properly and
it is not fixed at perfect angle, you may not be able to enjoy movies at their best.
These are few simple steps you have to follow so you can successfully install
the projector.
·
Screen Size
The place to mount your projector
depends on the screen size. The screen size or screen width is measured in
inches. For making this procedure simple and easy to understand let’s assume
you have screen size of hundred inches that will be 115-inches diagonal and
56-inches.
·
Throw Distance
Throw distance is actually the distance
between the screen and projector’s lens. Most of the recent projectors come
with install-friendly throw distance which allow you to install it in variety
of room types and sizes. Just for explaining let’s assume we have a JVC
projector which mostly comes with 1.4 to 2.8 throw distance range. So for a
hundred inched screen projector can be placed from 140-inches to 280-inches
from the screen.
·
Projector Location
Modern projectors are exceptionally
silent but still there is fan noise which can prove as constant disruption. So
it is better to keep projector back form the seating position. If the projector
is in front of your seat you will definitely get distracted by its presence.
Anyhow, if you plan to watch 3D movies on it make sure the distance is short
because shorter distance means more brightness.
·
Ceiling Mount
Projectors can either be placed on a
shelf or table or can be mounted on the ceiling. If you are placing it on a
shelf then it can easily sit there on its small feet but if you are planning to
mount it to ceiling, it will be mounted upside down. Never buy a mount of
substandard quality because you’ll never want your projector to fall directly
from the ceiling to the floor. Some good mount manufacturers are adjustable and
can be fixed with array of projectors.
· Leveling The Image
After successfully
installing the projector now come to leveling of the picture. Keep the front paralleled
to the screen so it produce a square and straight image. If the picture is not
straight and levelled then slightly move the mount till the picture is perfect.
If the screen is still not perfectly filled then gently tilt the mount up and
down and read the manual if there is vertically moving option then try to move
it vertically for filling the screen.
