Though huge flat screens offer the best viewing quality a viewer can have, still it has limitations that only media projectors can provide. Media projectors are commonly used to display presentations and films to be shown to an audience of medium to large numbers. Though films may not be of the same quality as it can be viewed from TV units, projectors are capable of enlarging videos and images in fair quality by just fixing the setting. Aside from the device’s display flexibility, media projectors are also cheaper than getting flat TV sets of large sizes.
Though installation of a media projector in you home or in the office is just classified as a Do-It-Yourself process, mounting, positioning and alignment of this device can be problems. Before you would be able to determine the most appropriate position in the room where the projector should be installed, you should first consider the size of the viewing area. A spacious viewing room may need to position the projector in a longer range in order to have enough room for the light to project the image in the largest yet clearest resolution possible.

Next, decide on the kind of mounting to be done. Projectors in large rooms should be mounted on the ceiling, while those for rooms with short viewing spaces is better just installed at the back portion of the room. Installation at the back of the room normally requires a construction of a special slot to accommodate the projector. This slot should be double the size of the projector, unelevated by any screw stands. Such size of slot is needed to accommodate the possible adjustments that must be made to the projector, specifically with the height, at the same time to provide an ample breathing space for the device’s exhaust system. Mounting on the ceiling, on the other hand requires dire precision in installing the tray to be used to contain the projector. In order to install the floating tray in an even level, use a leveling ruler to make sure the even location of images.
Tray installation should be parallel with the screen’s center. To determine this trajectory, use a nylon and post its other end on the screen’s center. Now following a straight line, take the other end to the ceiling on the desired tray mounting distance. Mark where the thread’s other end would fall on the ceiling. That is the spot from where the device would be able to project on a quality that would only require minimal settings modification to present good displays.
