The nights are getting warmer, and our outdoor spaces look more and
more inviting. Additionally, more blockbuster films have been made available for streaming
than ever before. So, it is the perfect time to dodge those sticky cinema seats and have a
whole lot of fun with an outdoor movie night!
While there are plenty of nice-to-haves to make the experience feel extra-special - there are
two musts for outdoor movie viewing: a projector and a screen.
Before you start planning your fun movie night, here are the top
things you need to know
about projectors and screens.
Do you have all the gadgets but need help styling your new home? Check out this article!
Benefits Of A Projector
Picture Size
The benefits of buying a projector to watch content at home is greatly based around size. Projectors have the
advantage of not being restricted by an outer limit. The size of the projections
themselves is simply dependent on how far away they are from the screen. The further away
from the projector, the larger the projection. This creates easier viewing which means
less strain and more comfort on the eyes! The Samsung
premiere laser 4K Smart projector brings the cinema experience to you with its 4K
resolution and 120 inch display, you can enjoy a gorgeous detailed picture from the comfort
of your own home.
Another noteworthy advantage of projectors is that screen size can be configured to any size
you desire, large or small. What’s even better is that projector screens, regardless of
their size, are not permanent.
With projectors, the hardware is not bound to the exterior surface, therefore the screen size
is infinitely customisable. That’s not all, if your screen size requirements change later
on, it’s easy to adjust.

Convenience
Projectors can also move around your house or be taken anywhere to watch the action where its
most convenient for you. Whether you want to watch your favourite movie or show in your
lounge room or a friend’s house – it is all possible with a projector!
Projector Technology
Most projectors feature either DLP, LCD or LED technology. Let’s look at the
differences:
Digital Light Processing (DLP) uses a chip with tiny mirrors inside the projector to
create your image. This provides you with sharp images, no need for filters and a
better response time than normal projectors.
LCD projectors, like their TV screen counterparts, use liquid crystal display and are
often cheaper because they don’t utilise moving parts. A 3-chip LCD projector offers
better saturation levels, lower noise output and is perfect for movie nights.
LED projectors are perfect for binge sessions, with a lifespan of 20,000 hours and
offer a lower power consumption. They appear in smaller configurations, so they are
easy to mount or position.
Mini Projectors
If you’d like to take your shows wherever you go, then
there are fantastic mini
projectors that offer you great picture quality and output. The Philips
NeoPix Easy2+ Home Projector lets you take your visual entertainment with
you. Bring it to a friend’s place or take it on a family camping trip,
you’ll love their convenience and versatility. Don’t let their size fool
you, they pack some serious specs into a small casing.
As mentioned, projectors are perfect for summer nights at home
with your family. Easy to use and with a big picture to match, you can entertain all
the kids in the neighborhood at once! Here are the things you’ll need for the
perfect movie night:
Your screen - you can project onto a wall (preferably white) but for a better
viewing experience, we suggest a projector
screen.
Your sound - many good projectors feature built-in sound capabilities, but to
really make an impact, hook up speakers
or a sound
bar for maximum effect.
