When choosing a projector for a home or business application it is important to choose a projector with the correct native aspect ratio. If you need help deciding which aspect ratio is best for your needs please read the brief guide below or feel free to click on my store listed at the bottom of the guide and send me a quick message!
What is a native aspect ratio and what should I look for?
The native aspect ratio is the width to height ratio of the native displayed image. The most common aspect ratios are 4:3 (standard computer monitor and television), 16:9 (widescreen images), and 15:9 (Hybrid between 4:3 and 16:9). Most projectors are capable of producing an image in various aspect ratios but what we need to focus on is the native resolution.
What is the best aspect ratio for a dedicated home theater?
A 16:9 aspect ratio is the best choice for a home theater as this widescreen format was produced specifically for HDTV and widescreen DVDs.
What is the best aspect ratio for a multi-purpose projector?
Nearly all projectors are capable of displaying an image in a number of different aspect ratios, however, when displaying their non-native signals you will encounter black bars on the top or bottom of the screen. For example, if you have a native 4:3 projector and are viewing a widescreen movie the projector will produce black bars on the top and bottom of the image. If you plan on using your projector to produce video and computer data signals the best choice may be something with a 15:9 image. This will allow you to produce a native video and computer data signal without scaling.
What sources work best on a 4:3 aspect ratio?
Recommended applications for 4:3 aspect ratio include: Standard DVDs (not widescreen), Standard American television (NTSC), Computer data signals, VHS tapes, Older video game consoles and computer games.
What sources work best on a 16:9 aspect ratio?
Recommended applications for 16:9 aspect ratio include: Blu-ray, HD DVDs, Widescreen DVDs, HDTV broadcasts, Newer video game consoles and computer games.
