Advantages

Considerations

 

 

 

 

Front Screen, Floor Mount Installation

 

 

 

 

• Easy to set up

• Shares floor space with audience

 

• Can be moved or changed quickly

 

 

• Easy to access

 

 

 

 

 

Front Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation

 

 

 

 

• Does not take up audience space

• Installation is more permanent

 

• Projector is unobtrusive

• Projector access is more difficult

 

• Projector cannot be accidentally moved

 

 

 

 

 

Rear Screen, Floor Mount Installation

 

 

 

 

• Projector is completely hidden

• Requires separate room

 

• Projector is easily accessed

• Installation cost is usually higher

 

• Usually good ambient light rejection

 

 

 

 

 

Rear Screen, Inverted Mount (ceiling) Installation

 

 

 

 

• Projector is completely hidden

• Requires separate room

 

• Usually good ambient light rejection

• Installation cost is usually higher

 

 

 

 

Rear Screen, Floor Mount with Mirror

 

 

 

 

• Projector is completely hidden

• Requires separate room

 

• Usually good ambient light rejection

• Installation cost is usually higher

 

• Requires less space behind screen than other

 

 

rear screen installations

 

 

 

 

Ambient Light

In general, minimize or eliminate light sources directed at the screen. Contrast ratio in your

images will be noticeably reduced if light directly strikes the screen, such as when a shaft of

 

light from a window or floodlight falls on the image. Images may then appear washed out

 

and less vibrant.
