Which kind of Projector Screen Do I Need
Many people, when setting up a home theatre projector system, focus simply on the projector and do not give much thought to the type of screen required, which frequently leads to a distressing viewing experience. While projecting images onto a wall leads to a lot of the light being absorbed through the wall, a projector is particularly made to maximize the image quality, contrast and sharpness by returning the majority of the projected light to the crowd.
There are various kinds of screens available for sale nowadays, all of which are made to suit individual needs. The one which will work for you depends on several factors like the projector format, screen gain, size availability etc. It is, therefore, vitally important to complete a thorough research and select a screen that will give you the cheapest.
Types of Projector Screens
Manual Projector Screens: These types of screens are very similar to shutters, which can be pulled down when required and retracted into the shell having a simple push. Manual screens are inexpensive, easy to install and straightforward to make use of.
Electric projector screens: Also known as motorized projector screens, electric screens operate in similar fashion to a manual screen with the only difference being that rather than manually pulling them on the jobs are done by an auto. The stop/start button may be located close to the electric projector screens or can also be done remotely, with respect to the setup you select. Motorized screens are costlier than fixed screens.
Portable Projector Screens: Portable projection screens are ideal for people who wish to carry their projectors to meetings and conferences. When choosing to purchase this kind of projector, it is extremely important to keep your screen case length in your mind as it can give a great deal to the screen size. The portable screens are usually available in floor, tripod and tabletop screen variants.
Rear Projector Screens: These screens are usually based on rear projection techniques. In a rear projection screen, the projector is placed at the back of the screen and the images are projected with the screen for the audience to determine. These types of screens are noticed in theatres or stage performances where people are likely to walk in front of the screen frequently.
Fixed Projection screen: Permanent or fixed screens are among the more expensive possibilities. As the name suggests, permanent screens can't be retracted keep and therefore are thus observed in places that are designated as dedicated home theatre rooms.
