When it comes to sports projectors, there are a variety of options along with a few considerations. Here is a list of some of the most important things that you must consider if you want to choose a projector for watching sports.

Brightness of The Projector

The first thing you must consider is its brightness level. It is showed in ANSI lumens, varying from one projector model to another. The brightness level affects how visible is the projected imagery. You must also consider the amount of ambient lighting in the space where you will use the sports projector. A high level of ambient lighting will impact negatively on the visibility of the projected images.

–  Spaces with a low amount of ambient lighting should consider a projector from 1,000 to 2,000 lumens.

–  Areas with a medium amount of ambient lighting will do fine with a projector around 1,500 – 3,000 lumens.

–  Rooms and halls that receive ample light will require a projector with at least 3,000 lumens.

Note that even if two projectors have the same lumens rating, the brightness of the images may still differ, depending on the quality of the light source it employs.

Native Resolution of The Projector

Another thing you need to consider when choosing a sports projector is its native resolution, which determines the quality and clarity of the projected images. Projectors are commonly available in 4K resolutions (3840×2160 or 4096×2160), Full HD (1920×1080), WXGA (1280×800), and XGA (1024×768). Projectors with XGA resolution are cheap but provide lower quality images than projectors with a higher resolution. Projectors with 4K resolution are quite expensive and provide unmatched image quality.

Projectors with Full HD are the perfect option for sports fans. Most TV broadcast signal in Full HD resolution, allowing you to make the most use of a 1080p projector. Projectors with WXGA resolution support the widescreen format.
