I will not suggest that you increase your brightness to 100. It will be better to adjust your brightness from 0 to 100. According to your eyesight.

Change the projector from eco mode

Change your projector modes. If your projector is at its lowest mode or eco mode. Then change it to the highest lumens output mode. This name is different in every projector. Try them manually.

Basically when your projector is in eco mode. A projector bulb is forced to use a certain amount of energy.

Clean the air intake and exhaust port

More What you can do

1. Use the high-gain projector screen. So your projector screen reflects most of the projected light. And provide your bright image.
2. If right now you are using the white projector screen. You should change it with the grey projector screen.
3. Most of the specific home theater rooms. Have an ambient-controlled room. But if you use the projector in the living room. Or your home theater room does not have control over the ambient light. I will suggest you cover your windows with curtains. To avoid any ambient light.
4. If you are planning to project on the 150 to 200-inch projector screen. You should drop the plan. Because the bigger projector screen you choose. Your projector lumen will spread on the bigger part of the screen. And it will dim your projected image. A 100-inch projector screen will be good. It’s bigger than any normal screen size of the TV.
5. And try to put your projector near the screen. If you want to buy a new projector. I will suggest you go with the ultra-short throw or short throw projector.
