Introduction to Mini Projectors

Display Resolution

Contrast ratio and lumens are the two defining elements in getting a clean, clear, crisp and bright visual from your projector. If your display needs are casual and for personal use consider a 1,500:1 to be the basic ratio needed for a clear display. Anything higher than 2,000:1 is considered excellent for video projection. Another crucial preference is the resolution of the mini projector.

Depending on what you need the mini projector to display, remember the higher the resolution the better the picture quality. A simple guide to follow is 800X600 pixels SVGA with an aspect ratio of 4:3 will be good enough for most playback settings.
