Step-by-step Tips on How to Choose a Projection Screen


You are ready to buy a projection screen, but don’t know which one to pick among the different types offered by the store. Here are some ideas to narrow your choice down.

Step 1: What type of screen do you want?

___ – Fixed frame screen. Installed in one fixed location. Ready to use anytime.

___ – Motorized Screen. Installed in one fixed location. Press remote to use screen.

___ – Manual pull down Screen. Installed in one fixed location. Pull down screen to use.

___ – Pull-up Screen. Can also be carried around

Step 2 : What type of AV format do you want?

___ – 1:1

___ – 4:3 like tv and pc monitors

___ – 16:9 like movie screens

Step 3: What color screen do you want?

___ – White

___ – Gray.

White Screen vs. Gray Screen debate. It is said that Gray projection screens absorb ambient light better. There is greater contrast because black colors seem blacker. White projection screens are perfect to use for those with the newer, higher contrast models of projectors.

Step 4 : What Fabric do you Want?

Choose the Fabric of your Projection Screen. Note that the Gain is the brightness from the middle of the screen. A gain of 1.0 means the amount of light that is projected on the screen returns to the viewer at the same brightness: none is absorbed and all is re-radiated with perfect uniformity from all viewing angles.

Glass Beaded. High brightness, gain of more than 2.9, effective scattering angle more than 32, high contrast and resolution, fine color rendition, excellent vision. Reflective beads are air-isolated and durably attached to screen surface. Screen surface is flat; prevents mildew, moisture and odor. Fire-proof. Brightness does not decrease over time.

Pearlux Fabric. High brightness, gain of more than 1.4, effective scattering angle more than 100, high contrast and resolution, fine color rendition, good vision in bright circumstances. Stable physical parameter and less attenuation. Flat and odor-free.

Grey Glass Beaded. High brightness, gain of more than 2.8, effective scattering angle more than 32, high contrast and resolution, fine color rendition, excellent vision. Best choice for home theaters. Fabric increases saturation of black and gray colors, improves contrast. Reflective beads are air-isolated and durably attached to screen surface. Screen surface is flat; prevents mildew, moisture and odor. Fire-proof. Brightness does not decrease over time.

Matt White.

Diffusion screen surface, with effective scattering angle more than 160 degrees, high brightness coefficient (more than 0.92), anti-glare, fine color rendition, wide viewing angle, soft light. No visual fatigue after long viewing. Stable physical parameter, less attenuation.

Grey Matt White

Diffusion screen surface, with effective scattering angle more than 160 degrees, high brightness coefficient (more than 0.85), anti-glare, fine color rendition, wide viewing angle, soft light. No visual fatigue after long viewing. Stable physical parameter, less attenuation. Odorless

Grey Vinyle

PVC screen surface, with effective scattering angle more than 160 degrees, high brightness coefficient (more than 0.82), high contrast, wide viewing angle, soft light. No visual fatigue after long viewing. Stable physical parameter, less attenuation, flat and free of smell. Odorless.

White Vinyle

PVC screen surface, with effective scattering angle more than 160 degrees, high brightness coefficient (more than 0.90), fine color rendition, high contrast, wide viewing angle, soft light. No visual fatigue after long viewing. Stable physical parameter, less attenuation, flat and free of smell. Odorless.

Step 5 : What screen size do you want?

How to choose the screen size for you:

The Diagonal Size is the distance from a lower corner of the screen, diagonally across to the other side upper corner. Diagonal sizes are always given with the specifications.

The suitable watching distance is equal to the diagonal of the screen.

- The recommended width of screen :

If you want a 4:3 format, width is Diagonal times .80 (W = Diagonal x .80)

If you want a 16:9 format, width is Diagonal times .82 (W = Diagonal x .82)

- The recommended height of the screen :

If you want a 4:3 format, width is Diagonal times .60 (W = Diagonal x .60)

If you want a 16:9 format, width is Diagonal times .49 (W = Diagonal x .49)

- Note the space margin needed by the screen when it will be installed. The recommended space from the ground to the bottom of the screen 0.7 to 1.25 meters.

For example, you are thinking of buying a 100 electric screen with 4:3 format

The screen size is

Diagonal = 100

Width W = Diagonal x .80

W = 100 x .80

W = 80 in

Height H = Diagonal x .6

H = 100 x .6

H = 60 in

The screen size is 80 in x 60 in

And the space needed for your screen is

Width is greater than 80 inches – 80 inches plus allowance at the sides

Height should be greater 60 inches – 60 inches plus space from the floor.

Thinking about these factors ahead of time will narrow your choices to the projection screen that is perfect for your needs and use. Fergameri USA can provide the best screen suitable for you at affordable prices.

Step-by-step Guide to Replacing a DLP TV lamp

When the images on your screen appear dim, distorted, or discolored, it is a sign that the DLP TV lamp in your TV is damaged and needs to be replaced. The process of TV lamp replacement is simple and can be done at home by following these simple steps.

1. Switch off the TV and unplug the electric cord one and a half hour or two hours before you attempt to replace the DLP TV lamp. This will ensure that the lamp is completely cool when you remove it.

2. Find the door with the bulb and remove the cross-headed screws.

3. Once the panel comes loose and the case housing the rear projection TV lamp becomes visible, slide out the case.

4. Remove the screws at the side of the case and ease off the old lamp.

5. Insert the new projector lamp without touching the lens. It is a delicate job and needs to be done gently and not with force.

6. Once you hear the click, you’ll know that the DLP TV lamp is firmly in place. Now replace the lamp housing unit and your job is done.

But before you set off on the task, buy the correct DLP replacement lamps. The TV replacement lamp you choose should be of the same type and have the same code as the lamp you’re replacing. BulbToGo.com has a wide range of DLP replacement lamps such as OSRAM lamps and you can find just the TV replacement lamp that you are looking for.
