Key Buying Decisions
Brightness vs room light
Dark rooms can use affordable projectors; bright rooms need high lumens and ideally a dedicated screen. Ambient light is the biggest factor in picture quality.
Throw distance and resolution
Check throw ratio against your room size, and choose native resolution (not just supported) for the sharpness you want.

FAQ
Can I use a projector in a bright room?
Yes, with a high-brightness model and ideally a light-rejecting screen, though picture quality is always best with some light control.
Projector or big TV?
Projectors give a far bigger image for the money and store away; TVs are brighter, sharper in daylight, and simpler to use.
