Ranking of the best projector screens for 2022

The viewer of the 21st century suddenly faced a choice: a projector or a TV? Despite the thriving global market for the TV industry, viewing through projectors has become a stumbling block.

Uses for Screen View

Presentations and training

All sorts of conferences, symposiums and festivals use projectors to visualize the material. In the process of learning, the method of broadcasting a video signal to the screen also became a common method.

In this case, the issue of acquiring a screen is decided on the following parameters:

1. price;
2. manufacturer;
3. complete with a projector;
4. compliance with price and quality;
5. the size;
6. color;
7. equipment.

home view

The days of TVs with a magnifying glass in front of the screen are over.

The desire to immerse yourself in viewing requires a maximum screen size. Large screen TVs are becoming more and more popular.

New technologies offer an alternative solution - viewing through a projector. A tempting opportunity is to watch movies while lying at home on your favorite sofa, on a huge screen, at least twice the size of the largest diagonal.

Benefits of viewing through projection onto the canvas:

1. excellent price/screen size ratio;
2. no strain on the eyes;
3. saving space by placing on the wall;
4. organic inclusion in the interiors.

Experts are of the opinion that for home theater organizers, the choice should begin with the screen, and not with the projector.

What are projector screens?

Portable and stationary

The mobile version of the canvas is mounted on a tripod or tripod, followed by unwinding of the surface. The option is convenient for training programs, lecture activities.

The stationary version is used for home theater equipment, large auditoriums, conference rooms.

Suspension

The design is a folded tube that can be mounted on a wall surface or on a bracket in the ceiling.

spring

The canvas is unfolded from the case by the muscular effort of a person through vertical tension. Intermediate fixation is allowed. The canvas is folded by the mechanical action of the spring, when removed from the latch. The presence of a weighted bar serves to stretch and smooth the surface.

• low price;
• compactness.

• quality of a tension of an average level.

Electric drive

The principle of operation is similar to the previous one, but human efforts are replaced by the operation of an electric motor. It should be specified when buying the degree of engine noise, there are silent models.

• auto mode;
• remote control.

• web tension leaves much to be desired.

Electrically driven with vertical tension

The only difference from the above type of screen is the reinforced stretching of the canvas due to the side cables along the left and right edges.

• perfect smoothing.

• price.

Framework

The structure is mounted by pulling the canvas inside the frame. Sizes vary.

• absolutely flat surface.

• stationarity.

From a stretch ceiling

It is made of material for stretch ceilings, it is mounted on an aluminum frame from the end, the base is satin.

• high image quality;
• width up to three meters;
• well placed on intermediate walls;
• affordable, competitive price.

• stationarity.

When ordering via express mail, there is a risk of jamming during transport.

Characteristics

Dimensions

Simple, at first glance, the task - the more the better. However, the quality of perception is affected by the activity of peripheral vision. To obtain the full effect of presence, elements of household objects must be excluded from the zone of peripheral vision, while maintaining clear edges of the image.

You could just move closer, but here's the problem - pixels can become distinguishable.

With an image resolution of 1920x1080, which corresponds to FullHD, the viewer should be placed at a distance of twice or more, greater than the size of the surface of the canvas.

The sides of the canvas have a standard ratio of 16:9, 16:10, 4:3. It is the first format that is most suitable for home viewing.

Price

The range of prices is quite large: from several thousand to several tens of thousands of rubles. This difference is determined by the manufacturer, design, material of manufacture, quality of the canvas.

canvas

The main role in the screen is assigned to the reflective surface, which can improve brightness and contrast. It is possible to transmit light through the screen, without reacting to external illumination. To preserve the brightness of the image, it is recommended to use a bright matte color surface, which is indicated by the MW manufacturers.

MW

White matte surface Matte White has accurate color reproduction and a maximum viewing angle, without loss of brightness.

HCG

In order to increase the contrast, a high contrast gray (HCG) surface is used.

The canvas is able to convey deep blacks without damaging light tones and whites. It is this option that is most often used when creating home theaters.

Through image

The translucent version of the surface is used with the placement of the projector behind the screen, its light is directed at the viewer.

The advantage of this method: aesthetics - there is neither the projector itself, nor the wires going to it.

Disadvantage: the presence of sufficient space behind the canvas to accommodate the projector and ventilation.

Most manufacturers use a black border on the surface to increase contrast. Individual companies produce screens with an enlarged top bezel in black, with the same goal - strong contrast.

Errors when choosing

To choose the right screen for the projector, you must adhere to the specified characteristics.

Depending on the room and viewing requirements, you need to decide on the type, the options for which are given above.

With the standard parameters of the expected image, you can use the online order. The manufacturer sender provides step-by-step installation instructions. Bloggers review models and compare them. It makes no sense to turn a household appliance item that has become commonplace into a long-term problem.

With increased requirements for image quality, the choice should be made in a specialized department of home appliances in consultation with a specialist.

The lack of time and the abundance of information force the contemporary to look for new formats of relaxation and disconnection from the outside world. The television format offers programs generated by the channel for viewing. In search of freedom of choice, the viewer is increasingly limited to only a roundup of news from a priority source.The rest of the time allotted for watching videos or games does not have to be associated with a television format. An alternative to electronic broadcasting through a projector onto a screen is gaining more and more fans.
