Frequently asked questions
Guides for this projector
ANSI vs ISO vs LED lumens
ANSI and ISO 21118 lumens are measured the same trustworthy way (averaged across the image) and are roughly equal. CVIA is a reliable newer standard. "LED lumens" and vague "marketing lumens" are inflated — often 2 to 3 times the real ANSI figure. Always size brightness by the ANSI or ISO number.
GuidesHow many lumens do I need?
Lumens needed scale with screen area and ambient light. As a rule of thumb, a 100-inch screen needs about 600 lumens in a fully dark room, around 1,300 for a living room with some light, and 2,700+ for a bright room. Bigger screens and more light need proportionally more.
GuidesProjector ceiling mount height
Mount the projector so its lens lines up with the top of the image when the projector has 0% offset (most do), then fine-tune with lens shift. A 100-inch 16:9 image is 49 inches (124 cm) tall, and the screen bottom usually sits 24-36 inches (60-90 cm) above the floor for seated eye level.
