My biggest reason for replacing my flat panel TV with a projector was glare. I was SO tired of glare getting in the way and if I'm going to be closing the blinds or dimming the lights to watch my favorite show ANYWAY, then I may as well go projector. I believe that 3 key things help with using projectors with ambient light in the room. First off, if you have a room with TONS of ambient light, you're always going to get TONS OF GLARE on your Flat Panel TV. I don't care how bright it is, you will see the glare and not the image you are trying to see on the Flat Panel TV.
A screen with good Gain helps. Also, a 2,000+ lumens projector helps.....but only when paired with a really good contrast ratio. The contrast ratio helps in identifying things on screen despite ambient light fading the image out a little bit as opposed to a huge glare reflection of whatever is outside your sliding glass door or window completely blocking a majority of the image you are trying to see on the Flat Panel TV.
Just to clarify:
1. Screen with gain of 1.0 or more
2. Projector with high lumens (preferrably 2,000 lumens or more)
3. Projector with a contrast ratio over 5,000:1
With these 3 things, you will not have as much of an issue with ambient light/sunlight. Lastly, EVEN ON A FLAT PANEL TV, THE BEST IMAGE QUALITY IS GOING TO BE IN A PITCH BLACK ROOM.
Dude just the 1080 p advice made sick a different. Thank you. We were going crazy trying to set it right.
Glad I can help!
Thank you I can't wait to fix mine with your tips. I will let you know! This is more info than I have seen on 15 other RUclips's. And very well done.
I appreciate it
Yes even in 2022 your tips and knowledge have been helpful. Thanks!
I appreciate it
This is the best video I have seen on projector set up and tips, thanks man
I greatly appreciate it
Great info kpaceguy, very informative. Nice job as usual. With such a wide range of projectors out there it's tough to make a choice. A lot of the projectors that I have seen are mounted in the ceiling never thought of having it mounted as you have, on a vertical stand. That's an option I never thought of, big thank you for showing! keep up the good work!
I appreciate it
Very good instructions! Easy to follow and on point. I just got a TMY projector from Amazon. (Sept 20 2022) Picture is okay, but one thing not mentioned is the audio output. It's MONO! I get around this by using the audio output from my ROKU. I have the model with audio and composite out. I use the HDMI for the picture, but use the audio from the ROKU! It results in real 5.1 surround sound. It really makes a difference. The instructions for centering so you do not have to use keystone correction is spot on. The color correction tips are great! Wonderful useful upload! Thank you. Peace! I also want to mention that the screen that came with the projector is garbage! I spent a little more and got a good screen and WOW what a difference!
Just pick up a old Panasonic commercial projector pt-dz6000 under 500 bucks and this thing is awesome thanks for the help with set up
Good info mang. Never had a projector, looking into them...
Mine was blurry I took keystone off and centered the projector... looks perfect now thanks
Thanks your advice has help me get a great image from my projector. Clear crisp image
well done young man. I recently purchased an Epson 99 and a 955wh for weddings and karaoke at conventions. Your comments were very helpful. The projectors are a bit older but with the help of folks like you I'm going to make the best of it. 3000 lumens and 3500 lumens. If anyone has suggestions on these projectors to make them the best in lit areas... comments welcome.
Yes, right! You are right on spot, good job! I always try to avoid keystones and zooms, they only make the picture look worse especially on low budget projectors. Best is center right on screen and leave it at 100 percent and you get the best picture overall. :)
How to do that?
Omg wow. Simple but drastic difference lol. Now I feel like I put a soul in my projector. Mine has a resolution of 1080p but for some reason even the stock vivid mode was extremely dark. Now I’m even happier with my purchase, thank you.
No problem
Thank you. Exactly what I needed.
Just got a projector and 100" screen. Thanks for the video it helped a lot!
How do u make the projector fit the 100” screen? I just got one too
@@habs2288 thats what im trying to figure out too. my picture is outside the line
Very good advice. You got it spot on. The screen size makes a difference too but i love the scrren the size it is. My partner has bad eyes and this has revolutionised ps4 play and watching discovery plus. Anyone who has a tv in their bedroom get rid of it n use a projectjor. Its like cinema every night and we bought a sound bar so it really is like being in the cinema and cheaper than a tv. Great advice. Thanks!
Enjoyed the vid mate 👍up. Picked up a few tips from you so thanks for that.
Thanks for watching!
Very informative video, I will try those tips.
Keep it up!
Thank you!
Great video, very useful. Thanks!!
I appreciate it
Thank you for the great vid helped a ton!
Thank you so much for this. You Rock!
Thanks for watching!
Well Explained...clear Thanks
Thanks man you rocks !!!
Thanks a lot, you explained it quite well.
Mine was not able to focus clearly at the corners no matter how much tweaking I did. Lastly I just moved the projector lense a little bit towards right and tried focusing and it did work. The height of screen on the right side is a little higher now but still it is a lot better than watching an unfocused screen. Probably this info will help someone.
Glad I could help
Very useful tips 👍
This video is exactly what I was looking for! Very informative and well put together, thank you very much! :)
I appreciate it! Glad I could help
Awesome video super thorough :) I just got a xiaoyo mini projector 720p
I appreciate it
Thank you, that was helpful
So helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for watching
If the center is focused while the top left and bottom right are blurry and you can't fix it by proper projector placement in front of your screen, then the internal projection system (DMD LVDS) is not directly parallel to the focusing system (Projection Lens).
A properly adjusted DMD is capable of giving clear focus on the entire screen. Optoma UK (and probably other manufacturers too) can fix this for free (you pay your own postage because it's not a defect, but they fix it without charging you) in a newly bought projector under warranty. I've had this really annoying problem on my Optoma, but there were no service centers in my country to fix it. I never bothered sending my new projector to another country, it would be too risky and expensive. It is really annoying if two corners are out of focus, especially if you're using the projector for gaming.
According to the service manual, it's not considered a defect: "Blur image on one of the corner after adjustment is acceptable. However, the words should at least be recognizable. Note: - To avoid over adjusting." In other words, if you can read text, they might or might not fix your focus problems. And they'll not make it perfect, they'll tune it to be about right.
Great video, cheers
You just blew my mind as an installer
I hope that's good lol
Thanks fam it helped with my 1080p 4k at 30hz m7 with dlp
Nice tips man, thanks.
Thanks for watching
Thank you bro.
Yes sir!
Thank you
I am so glad I found your video. I have searched all over RUclips for a easy understanding of this subject. I have a mini projector in my bedroom a 1080p 3000:1 ratio. I want it above my bed on a shelf. When I place it there the picture is overblown and don't fit my screen. When I place it on a barstool in front of my bed with the height adjustment at the highest the screen is great. When I try to adjust the lense it gets smaller but blurry above my bed on a shelf. Do you have any suggestions?. Thank you.
Some projectors just use cheaper lenses that can't be corrected
Tanksss te much, was The best
Thank you.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching
Good information
I'm going to try to centre my projector better. I'm always having to add a book to try and level it because I currently have it on a desk with a tower of textbooks and it's... just bad. I have to decide what parts of the image I want most in focus it's annoying. But it's hard to put it dead centre because of the setup in my bedroom. I think I might get like a tripod and move things around in my room a bit. Also I'm just projecting it on to a wall for now because I havent decided where I want to put this permanently
I Know this is an old comment but did you ever figure it out? Even with a tripod I still have the same issue. I currently have a book but on one side only. Even centered it's NEVER leveled in the screen without a book. Especially on the tripod it sucks! It's 2024. I paid about $130 for the 4k projector after a coupon. It has Netflix & other apps built in it seems to be trash or I just can't tweak it correctly.
Hey Buddy. Thanks for your. Information 🎥
No problem
Love your video help out a lot. Just wondering where did you get that projector stand? I would love to have one like that
Its a floor standing TV stand that you can get from Amazon
@@Kpaceguy thx. Keep up the good work
Good job, sir. You've got excellent voice quality, are friendly, have good camera presence, and your tips are informative and useful. A little constructive criticism... try casting a little light on your face. You're a handsome dude and camera likes you. Use it to your advantage. Best of luck.
I appreciate it my friend thank you
This is awesome! thank you man, I really appreciate you taking the time to break this down. Cheers.
Thanks for watching
Thanks for your input but I'm moat interested in your stand setup. I need to be in the middle of my window like you to be centered without keystoning and have a couch below it. Was gonna build a window bracket but might go that stand instead
I had a floor standing TV stand from Amazon and sat it on that since it has a flat base and is tall enough to be over everyone's head
I am going to set up mine , I will come back with the results
Hey buddy..Thanx dor the great info...I'm having an Epson DM30HD projector..When I play movies or web series via Amazon fire stick it shows banding effect on dark areas of the pic and pixels also, I always play on 1080p...What seems to be the problem...Does lens need cleaning or do I need a screen... Currently I project on a white wall with projector placed 8 feet back
A screen is always the best option or a painted wall meant for protection with projector paint
I liked your video information on projector.
Shall we keep noise reduction high or low?
If it's a budget projector, high.
@@Kpaceguy ok thanks....
Wow Fantastic tips my friend. Very Detailed. Nice job Sir!!!
No problem thank you
No keystone needed have a really Huge lensshift.The good thing with lensshift is you not losing any quallity.Sharpness ?The hole Picture is sharp in every corner.Colour The only colour mode i have to make adjustments to is the mode for UHD HDR .But Rec 709 is over 90 % accurate and the dci BT2020 too so out of the Box it is really good on my Epson.To achieve better colours you need to have somebody coming to your house calibrating it for money.Yes i could dust the lens of .But my Projector has a motorized lens cover that closes everytime i turn it of.Only in one colour mode i have to turn saturation a bit down.Best colours wich colours are the best ?The colours that fit your Personal taste best ore the colours that are in the norm for rec709 ore bt2020?I personally like the norm colours best when you get used to them you only use them.The first time this colours will not look so attractive but after some time you will notice they look more Natural.The epson looks great on blue rays with Natural Colour mode it hits the colour target rec 709 really good.
Takes alot time to get it just right .
I have 4k 5500 lumens projector and elite screen . Ones you get your projector set how you like it will look good I see its led which will last for years or until you upgrade to 4k .
I would love to know the manufacturer of your 4K 5500 lumens projector?
Just bought 2 projectors for $100 both with 1080P but the picture looked whitewashed and the Caucasian s was looking like Cherokees
Going to take this advice and see if it works
Thanks again!
No problem! Sometimes it'll say 1080p SUPPORT. So not true 1080p. It's 720p but will accept 1080p input
@@Kpaceguy MAAAAAAAN LOOKA HERE!!
I hooked it up..followed your guidance and BOOM it was worlds apart from what I had going on previously when I did it by myself
True 1080P on the screen!!!
Thanks again 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽✊🏽

Well you already bought it lol so just try it out
Lil nasX giving review 🙌
I have an Elephas mini projector, and the image is SUPER pixelated. I’ve tried to change the focus but it’s done nothing. Do you have any advice?
Bring it closer to the screen is really all you can do
I don't use any keystone correction, but what about Optical (not digital) zooming and vertical lens shift? Will that still effect my picture quality?
It will not
@@Kpaceguy Thank you so much!
Any tips for hitachi teq projector I’m trying to get the best quality picture but can’t 🤦🏽♂️
Hey bro my projecter is a led mini it has been working for a while now and it just got supper blurry like very blurry can’t see a thing anything you know that could help?
Try refocusing. Other then that it could just be time for a new bulb.
I kind of regret getting a 1.3 gain projector screen because it create the sparkle effect.
I received a Jinhoo 1080P projector as a gift. The real deal-breaker in me not keeping it was not having any type of Zoom control. If I place it behind my couch the image is too large. If it put in closer I am forced to make unacceptable comprises in my living room.
I have a benq mx720 projector for some reason I am not getting the other picture settings only.two is a available which is bright and contrast. Can your tell me why.is that ?
Never used it.
Ok kool
Hey I have a YG 300 projector an im trying to figure out how to get the best quality for. An i dont have a projector screen
You won't get the best quality until you have a screen
Thank you for info! Where did you get the mount you have yours on?
It's an old TV floor stand i had
Hi my problem is the color of my projector how can i fix it could you help me please ?
Under "tint" or saturation or even color temperature
@@Kpaceguy yeah i did it but now its shows me in the middle of the screen lines problem when i connect it with my phone !
This projector gets the job done pretty well. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.
What projector stand do you have?
I used an old Floorstanding tv stand. It's not actually made for what I'm using it for
Where did you get your projector stand?
It's actually an old floor standing TV stand I was using before I got a projector
if the projector has like a orange hue on the left side of the screen but my roommate has had the projector for a few years is there a way to fix it or is it just doomed and i need to get a new projector? 🧡 google is telling me nothing so please be nice :)
Color calibration if the projector has it
Which projector r u using?
Optoma uhd51alv
I am having an issue, whenever I have dark moments in a game with a bright light source it creates ripples across the sky and I don’t know why?
Anybody have an answer for this? I’m not sure if it’s a color setting
@@boyota4953 No cause I actually have the same thing i think🤔
You MAY have a ground loop issue. Try plugging your computer and your projector into different outlets, different power strips and see if that helps. Or, if you have a gaming system/computer on which you can adjust your video output, try changing the output frequency. There are some videos that address similar problems. . . good luck!
Are sporadic white small horizontal lines normal?
Nope
@@Kpaceguy thanks!
What does colour temperature do
Add or reduce redness or warmth
So I shouldn't use the 4k option in the 3800 epson?
What part are you referring to?
@Kpaceguy you said if projector ia 1080 the play 1080 but mome does that upscaling 3lcd thingy
You should use whatever the highest resolution your projector supports.
@Kpaceguy mine is 3lcd its not 4k native ill figure it out. Haven't messed with it much just plug and played so far. Mo time really to mess with it. Still on stright out the box settings. Color tint brightness etc. All on 50 in the middle. But thanks for the reply
Where did you get that tripod ;o?
For my projector?
Kpaceguy Ya
It's an old TV stand I used to use
You should always clean projector lens with alcohol first and then kitchen oil. That gives you very cinematic yellowish warm look.
Absolutely not
I think you went a bit overboard with the adverts!
My quality is super grainy
all projectors need to be positioned center of the screen? thats weird
If you want that absolute purest image yes
@@Kpaceguy manufacturer instructions says for ceiling mount i need to position it at the top edge of the sceen, if i center the prjctr, half the image will be below the screen lol
Centered with the screen doesn't mean the physical machine parallel. It means the image needs to be centered without any kind of keystone correction
whats the point of being able to put he video in 2160p 4k when the original video quality is trash
Mines is blurry
If you have manual focus dial it in. If not, move it closer
Unless you own a JVC.
I never touch digital keystone, because keystone is the devil. Also I see you got a cheap chinese projector, which is horrible to calibrate.
Very difficult. Luckily it's just for review
@@Kpaceguy Also you shouldn't use the zoom function because that takes away the resolution. Just keep it at zero and everything will be fine.
@@SuperCartoonist that's obviously not possible if you're screen is bigger than the value given at 0 from where you need to place your projector
@@Kpaceguy I'm talking about your projector, you know the settings zoom-y and zoom-x. Leave those settings at 0 to get the best picture and the right resolution.
@@SuperCartoonist yes my current projector doesn't have that
But I want it to the side so I don’t think this is the video for me.
You will never get a straight image unless you use keystone correction. Which will degrade your image
@@Kpaceguy yeah man you were right.
@@Kpaceguy I have it centered on my wall now and it’s working great. Thanks!
i wanted to do that in my room too, because i have a small room. i decides to just move my projector to the basement and now it’s working perfectly
Sollu guddani dhengaa.
I did these things and it still is shit
Might need a better projector lol
too many of pointles blah blah blah
Guess you'll just keep watching a bad picture instead lol
