Projector Screen Lumens Per Square Foot Bright Room

I have about a 17 ft square family room with windows and ceiling ductwork. I needed something very bright so my wife would sit with me watching movies or (more importantly) my hockey games. She refuses to sit in the dark, and has to be able to read her magazines. The very short throw table top projector with 2300 lumens on a 109 1.1 gain screen works great. Sitting 15 ft from the screen means I don't need 1080p for a clear picture. I never use the bright setting, as the color gets too muddy, and it should make the lamp last longer. The lack of adjustments mean you really would not want to put it in a fixed position from a ceiling mount. Small movement is a big change in the picture. And as it ships inside a backpack, it really is portable so I will be taking it to my remote cabin. The screen and projector set me back about a quarter of the price of the 61 sony rear projection 275 lb system I bought in 1999 that this replaces.

I bought this to replace an older non-wide screen projector. When they say 5000 lumens, they mean it!  We can almost turn the room lights all the way up!

Screen is being used in a 40 x 40 foot room with a 7.2 theater system. The projection screen is over the stage and is long enough to extend down and up out of the way when not in use. If the light were not in the way, I could have moved the screen even higher.

Great picture especially with the non reflection on screen in a very bright room

Mounted NEC NP510 3000 lumens 6lb projector perfectly!

Holy cow this thing is bright, there are a lot of lumens in this thing

This is an excellent data projector for someone who likes to display their work onto a large screen. Super bright and easy to carry.

I wanted an extremely bright, highly portable projector for a presentation in a very well-lit room. This projector is the brightest I have seen and has an intuitive, effective wedge-eliminating set of controls. It functioned immediately after connecting to my 2021-M1 MacBook Pro.

Really enjoying this projector in our media room. Bright colors even with light leaks and white walls.

This projector is awesome. Clarity and brightness are fantastic. We have this in a room with a lot of natural light and it’s bright enough to see during the day without having to close the blinds. Clarity of picture is amazing. Very happy with this purchase!!!
