Part 2. How we to Pick a Suitable Mini Home Projector

The best home projectors you will find on the market must meet these criteria.

Brightness

To appreciate a projected image, brightness is a crucial criterion. Home theater mini projectors are measured in ANSI lumens, which reflect their brightness quality. A brighter, more vivid image will be achieved if the lumen count is high.

However, the assessment of the brightness depends on the use of the projector. For indoor use, a brightness of 800 to 1,000 lumens is sufficient. For outdoor use, however, a much higher amount of lumens is needed to ensure that the images are visible even in bright sunlight.

Chip

When it comes to projection, the chip is the key mechanism for achieving optimal image quality. Home theater mini projectors are equipped with two types of chips: the DLP (Digital Light Processing) chip and the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) chip.

The DLP chip is preferable if you are looking for superior image quality with high resolution. On the other hand, the LCD chip is excellent for better brightness and improved color quality.

Power

The lifespan, the viewing time, and the power in watts released by a mini video projector depend on its power. For an indoor mini home projector, a power of 50 to 100 watts is sufficient for an acceptable rendering.

However, an outdoor mini home projector requires higher power to ensure optimal image quality, especially in terms of brightness. Although power is an important criterion, it is also crucial that the device is energy efficient.

Screens

Projection screens come in many varieties, each defined by criteria such as size, format, and quality of the image produced, as well as the location where it will be projected.

Although projection can be done on flat surfaces, the use of a projection screen is essential to obtain an optimal rendering. It is important to choose the right screen for your needs according to the projection environment and the characteristics of the desired image.

Audio

When choosing a suitable home theater mini projector, it is crucial to consider the power and audio quality. The built-in speakers must be powerful enough to fill the room and the sound quality will depend on the number and size of the speakers.

A major point is to check the audio connectivity options, supported audio formats, and built-in audio correction features.
