Resolution: A Simple Explanation
In LCD projectors, the most commonly asked questions are often regarding the resolution. You may have a basic idea about the concept of resolution and its relationship to image quality, but perhaps you’re not completely sure how to determine an appropriate resolution for your specific presentation needs. For example, the highest possible resolution may not be necessary to meet your specific needs.
Resolution basically describes how much detail can be seen in a projected image. In other words, the clarity of an image is determined by the projector’s resolution. Resolution is measured in pixels, or tiny points of light, that run down and across a surface. Commonly used resolution measurements include 640 x 480, 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768. Specifically, a projector with 800 x 600 essentially means there are 800 pixels that run across the screen, and 600 pixels that run down the screen. The higher the pixel count, the sharper the resulting image.
Projecting extremely detailed images requires the highest possible resolution for image preservation and clarity. Additionally, a higher resolution machine is better for presentations that with detailed drawings, photographs or lots of numbers. Projector123.com supplies up to 1600 x 1200 resolution projector rentals, to ensure you’ve got a high-quality projector for your next presentation. This means your viewers can be situated somewhat close to the screen without annoying pixels distortion.
If you plan to project images directly from your computer, it’s a good idea to set the resolution on your computer to match that of your projector rental. While projectors will work with mismatched computer settings, you’ll see the best projection image when the settings are perfectly aligned
