Portable and Outdoor Projectors in Projectors & Screens(63)

How often does my portable projector need to be calibrated?

There are many factors that can lead a projector to have color shifts including the quality of the projector hardware and the amount of time the projector is used. It is best practice to calibrate a projector when you first receive it to ensure all colors are accurate and to your liking in your own space. To ensure consistent accuracy, projectors should be calibrated monthly. Refer to your specific product instructions for how to calibrate.

How often do I need to replace a projector bulb?

Projector lamps are typically rated for around 1,000 to 2,000 hours before they need to be replaced. However, newer LED projectors can last even longer. Be sure to check your projector's manual for the manufacturer's rating of the lifetime of the bulb. When a bulb needs to be replaced, it will slowly dim and your projection will become dark and flat.

What size screen is best for a projector?

Ultimately, the best sized screen is what can fit in your space. Screen size recommendations depend on the distance that the projector is from the screen. The larger the screen, the farther away your projector will need to be. For example, it is recommended that a projector should be about 12 feet from a 10-foot screen.
