How to buy a screen for the projector?

[Mialulu]

When many projector manufacturers display their products, the effect is very good, but when you buy it home, you find that the projection effect is much worse, and it can't be compared with the display. The main reason for this situation is the difference in the screen.

Especially now that the screen is a niche product, the public awareness rate is not high, and the price of the product with the same parameter is even more than ten times worse. As a result, we always accidentally fall into the pit during the purchase process and spend more money. .

In my opinion, the purchase price of the screen is the most appropriate one-fifth of the projector. If the budget for buying the screen is too high, it is better to spend more money when buying the projector to improve the image quality.

1. Price

The first step in choosing a screen is to determine the price. I think the purchase price of the screen should not exceed one-fifth of the projector, that is, if the projector is 3,000 yuan, the price of the screen should not exceed 600 yuan. If you spend more money on the screen, you might as well spend the money on the projector to get a bigger boost.

2. Flatness

The most important thing about the screen is its flatness. Only a flat screen can have a good projection effect. So if you are not buying a TV and a projector together, directly choose a picture frame screen, because the flatness of the picture frame screen is the highest.

Mid-to-high-end products only have advantages in product appearance, details, and product brands, and nothing more. The increase in price does not bring about the crushing of quality.

Therefore, it is best to choose a framed curtain, if there is no other way, then choose an electric curtain. There are two kinds of electric screens. One is the common screen structure that only receives up and down forces, which is the kind used in the class when I was young. This kind of easy curling and deformation is not as good as the white wall effect. It is strongly recommended not to buy.

The other is a screen structure that is subject to force up, down, left, and right. This kind of screen will not be deformed and is suitable for our use. At the same time, its curtain surface is a PVC soft curtain, which is the same as the picture frame curtain surface, and its flatness is similar, which is much better than the previous one. If you must use an electric screen, give priority to this kind of screen.

3. Parameters

The screen has many parameters, such as gain, viewing angle, resolution, and material. Many manufacturers also use these as the focus of publicity. But let me tell you clearly that the ultimate goal of selecting a screen is flatness, and the parameters are irrelevant.

The main reason is that even if the brightness gain of the screen is large, it is traded at the expense of important aspects such as contrast and viewing angle. There is no such kind of screen that has improved brightness, contrast, viewing angle, and three-dimensionality. On the one hand, it has The improvement in other aspects will reduce it, so the parameters are useless. The most important point is that the parameters of the screen cannot be verified or tested. They are all boasting and have no reference value.

So choose a white curtain for the living room, and a gray curtain for the audio-visual room. You don't need to pay special attention to the others. The reason for this choice is mainly because the environment in the living room is affected by the external light. The white screen will look brighter. We can make it very dark in the audio-visual room, which can reduce the brightness to enhance the three-dimensional and transparent sense of the picture.

There is also an anti-light screen. Compared with ordinary white screens, the anti-light screen improves the contrast, color reproduction, and black level effects of the picture. Therefore, the brightness of the anti-light screen is not as good as that of an ordinary white screen. If you are not buying a true 4K projector, you will not need this at all.

4. Brand

As an unconcerned product, the curtain has deep water. It is estimated that there are no more than 3 brands that ordinary people can name.

Especially for the effect of the final picture, the projector occupies a larger influencing factor, and the main investment should still be on the projector. But it doesn't mean that everyone can choose whatever they choose, or even think that the screen does not have any technical content.

This industry is far from forming a monopolistic market, and each brand has its own advantages, so when we buy, we only need to find what suits us to improve the image quality.
