Best Gaming Projectors

What to Look for in a Projector for Gaming?

Been there : I’ve asked this same question many times. And to be quite frank in answering it, there are a good variety of factors but one of my top ‘nitty gritty’ ones to consider — and I can be quite a picky neat freak, to say the least — would be the accuracy of the color itself. I don’t know about you, but when I’m gaming, I really like my background settings and open - worlds to look as true to the original as possible (and not even a tad or two “off” when it comes to color scheme). Especially when I play Zelda, or even Halo on PC.

Another thing you should really be picky on would also be the very factor of the throw range that the projector can offer you : In other words, is it a projector meant for short - throw or long - throw? The reason this even matters is because a short - throw projector, for instance, can only properly project the image from a few feet away from where it’s placed. So the closer you keep it to the screen itself, wherever you choose for that to be, the better things will look in the long haul. And of course, you also do want to take into account certain factors like the retractable or mountable options the projector includes and any pieces that come with it to help you better place it on any wall, mount, stand, or other place in the room. All this makes a huge difference!
