Projector Screens

Projector Screens
Besides a projector, the most important purchase that a
business can make is to acquire a high-quality projector
screen. Spending thousands of dollars on a projector makes
little sense if the images will be plastered on nothing
more than the boardroom walls. A projector screen, whether
it is portable or permanent, makes any presentation as well
as the individual presenting it, look that much more
professional.

Projector screens come in a variety of sizes and prices,
and are often made of different materials. Choosing the
screen that is best for a company depends on everything
from the type of projector being used to the distance of
the projector from the screen.

Before purchasing either the projector or the screen,
consider the characteristics of the room. Think about
where the screen and the projector will be placed, as well
as where the individuals in the room will sit. Consider
the lighting in the room as well before deciding on any
type of projector screen.

Decide if the screen will be a permanent fixture in the
room, or if it will be moved from room to room. The main
advantages to selecting a portable screen are the fact that
it can be taken and placed in just about any location
within a building or office, as well as having the ability
to fit in rooms of various sizes. Fixed screens offer a
more professional look to a board or meeting room, but they
lack the portability and adaptability of portable screens.

The surface of the projector screen is designed to add to
the overall quality of the picture being projected onto the
screen. Typically, consumers can choose screen with either
a matte white or matte gray finish. White screens provide
viewers with higher "gain" (returned reflected light) and a
wider viewing angle than gray screens do.

Size, in terms of projector screens, depends both on the
quality of the projector as well as on the source of the
output. 16:9 and 4:3 formats are the most popular, but
some screens can be as wide as 15' (measured diagonally).
Since most presentations for business purposes are
typically made using a computer or laptop, a screen with a
4:3 format is a good choice, as most computers still make
use of this output format. However, today's computers also
give users the choice of changing to the new and popular
16:9 format output, which most people refer to as a
widescreen format.
