Installation
Considerations
Proper installation of your projector will ensure the quality of your display. Whether you are
installing a projector temporarily or permanently, you should take the following into
account to ensure your projector performs optimally.
Installation TypeChoose the installation type that best suits your needs: front or rear screen, floor mount or
inverted mount.
Table 3-2 compares these various installation methods.
Ambient LightIn general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your
images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft
of light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed
out and less vibrant.
