Projection can be a practical option when you need a larger image or when a projector and screen suit the room better than a commercial monitor. The right setup depends on the image size, ambient light and throw distance.
Plan the projected image
Projection that fits the room.
Projector suitability is not determined by resolution alone. Brightness, lens and throw distance, image width and height, the projection surface and light in the room all affect the result. A projector that works in a dim training room may not be suitable for a bright exhibition space.
Before requesting a quote, estimate the required image size and tell us the distance between the proposed projector position and the screen. If the venue has a fixed screen or a specified projection surface, include those details.
- Desired image dimensions and audience viewing distance.
- Projector-to-screen throw distance and mounting position.
- Ambient light and whether lights can be dimmed.
- Content source, connection type, resolution and audio requirements.
- Whether a projection screen is required as part of the hire.
Projection or monitor?
Compare the room conditions.
Commercial monitors often provide a bright, self-contained display for rooms where a 65–98-inch image is sufficient. Projection can support larger image sizes, but the result depends more heavily on room light, throw geometry and surface quality.
Common applications
Projectors for meetings, training and events.
Projection can support slides, video, training material and shared visual content when the venue and image conditions are suitable.
Training and education
Display course material and diagrams, allowing for the smallest text or detail attendees must read.
Exhibitions and events
Use projection for selected creative or large-image applications where light levels and surfaces allow.
