How many lumens do I need for a projector?
Most web pages seem to emphasize what you need for a 100" screen. I live in an apartment and would project at 60" (70" at the most). My living room is 15x15 with one double window facing south that has black curtains. There is some ambient light during the day. I live in the northern states so it gets dark around 5pm here in winter, but around 8pm in summer.
i will use it mostly for movies and tv on DVD.
I was looking at a 800-1200 lumen 16:9 home theater projector. Not a business projector - I have done enough research to realize you are better off with a home theater unless you need it for business.
It seems like the lumens really vary when acutally measured. Epsons and Infocus models seem to be pretty on par if not bighter than stated. Optoma's and Benq's seem to be a little darker.
I figure the listed lumens must be if you are showing a very bright colored picture without darks.
type in (xga dlp 2000lumen's)any of these are great for movies.also business projectors can be used for home i have a benq 620 and it has settings for movies cinema and gaming.good look
