How to avoid the four pitfalls when purchasing a miniature projector?

In recent years, micro projectors have developed rapidly, but the ensuing fog trap has also become one of the reasons why many people are afraid to buy it. Once a digital device worth several thousand yuan is trapped, the hard-earned money is likely to be lost. All flowing water. Therefore, before choosing a micro projector, we must avoid these four traps.

You can experience the movie theater effect without leaving home! This is the convenience brought by micro projectors, but as the saying goes, “there are many popular people, right and wrong”, in the uneven projector market, there are still many shoddy products hidden, which requires us to develop a sharp eye. To distinguish whether they are true or false, the following four key points are summarized.

Trap 1, the pursuit of high brightness

Brightness is an important factor in testing picture quality. If the brightness is too low, the screen will appear white and affect the viewing effect. This makes many friends think that since too low brightness is not good, then choose high brightness. But in fact, this is also wrong. Brightness Too high is like direct sunlight, which will irritate the eyes for a long time. Most people choose micro projectors to protect their eyes, but doing so is counterproductive.

So the question is, what should be the standard for brightness? In fact, it has a lot to do with the viewing environment and screen size. For example, when watching movies in a small space, the effect of 120 lumens to 300 lumens for home use is quite satisfactory. Please do not expect to be able to project clear images under strong light during the day. It is recommended to use it in a darker environment. If you are outdoors in an open space, don’t assume that a micro projector can be used during the day. According to past experience, a large projector with about 10,000 lumens or more is generally suitable for outdoor day use. Due to the limited body size and the built-in battery of the micro-projector, the lumens are generally only 80-500 lumens. If you need to use higher lumens, you can only choose a traditional projector with 2500-4000 lumens.

Let’s talk about the screen size. Currently, a 60-80-inch screen is suitable for 120~300 lumens (with the lights turned off), and a 100-inch screen is suitable for a brightness of more than 1,000 lumens. In other words, as the screen increases, the required brightness will also increase. promote. Of course, if you don’t want to use your brain, many considerate merchants have also marked the optimal projection distance. For example, the optimal projection distance of ViewSonic M1 mini Plus is 1 meter to 2 meters, so you won’t go wrong when buying it!

Trap 2: Distinguish resolution

Usually, resolution is divided into standard resolution and compatible resolution. Standard resolution refers to the original resolution of the projected image, which is the real resolution, while compatible resolution refers to the resolution that the TV can input signals. Friends must To distinguish between the two, don’t be confused by it, we need to focus on it when choosing.

In general, merchants will indicate standard resolutions, mostly 480P, 720P, 1080P, and 4K. The higher the resolution, the clearer the image quality will be. However, be careful to note that there is a very big difference between (real resolution) and (supported resolution). , (real resolution) refers to the original resolution of the projected image, that is, the real resolution, while (supported resolution) refers to the resolution of the signal that the projector can input. You must distinguish between the two and don’t be confused by it. When choosing, we need to focus on it.

Just like the standard resolution of ViewSonic M2 is 1920*1080, its exclusive Cinema SuperColor+ technology and Rec.709 theater-level color can make the picture quality more realistic and truly restore the details of every scene.

Trap 3, more functions

In terms of functions, friends will also fall into the misunderstanding of “greedy for too much”, thinking that this can satisfy all aspects of life, but in fact too many functions will increase the burden on memory space. In the end, the multi-functions will not be fully used, and it will also affect the viewing speed. , it can be said that the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, it is recommended that friends choose suitable functions, only the ones that suit you are the most important! For example, the upgraded version of ViewSonic M1+, the integrated harman/kardon speaker can provide unimaginable sound effects and bring you a more immersive entertainment experience. Another example is its mobile screen projection function. If you want to play games on a big screen, easy job! The upgraded version of ViewSonic M1+ can do it all for you.
