Hi Linda and anyone,

Can you tell me the names of your projectors please. 

I am looking to buy a projector, digital preferred, and don't really know where to start, apart from reading specs and looking at pictures online. Apparently I need one with a short throw, as I am not projecting for huge murals, I wish to project onto average lounge room size wall up to approx 4m without distorting. I am not really sure what my budget is, tho I don't want to spend $000s.

Would it be the lens quality that making all the difference ?

Merry Xmas to all and to all a loving and safe summer break

Hi all. Can anyone tell me if there is a reason why two projectors, whose specs are the same, one is really fine and the other is not? I purchased a projector a few years ago and have never been really happy with it. When looking close at the projected image, the grid is much larger, like 4-8 times larger than the projector in my art class. it's so clunky, the image there is no detail just globs.

They are two different brands, but the sales specs are the same. Same computer, same cords, same FILE, but just cruddy projection. About the same distance, too.

I called tech support some months ago and they said there is nothing I can do to make it sharper, no selection to be made that adjusts the size of the squares that makes up the whole image..

Is this the difference between a $400 projector and an $800 projector.
Seems like there should be some relation to the specs and the quality of the projected image.

Thanks for your thoughts.
Linda
