Suggestion to project the image on the normal wall & glass wall:-

Which wall color should you choose for the projection?

If you have already done your wall screen colour. And if it is grey and white. Then you’re going to lose lots of contrast in the light condition & without light.

Until you haven’t decided the colour of your screen. I will suggest you go with the black screen you will get great contrast and colour in any light condition and without light.

Which way should you choose to turn the glass into a projection screen?

If you want to turn your glass into the projection screen. And you have a big budget and you easily turn your glass into a projection screen. By spending on Switchable smart glass & smart film screens. Which costs you a lot, you can use this at your home and also at the office.

How to optimize projected images for the normal & glass wall?

Position

You should put the projector and screen. At the same angle or I say you should put the projector and screen at a 90-degree angle.

So you don’t need the screen adjustment by the keystone correction. So if you don’t adjust the screen too much the pixel of the screen will not be destroyed too much.

Clear Lens

Clear your lens. For the cleaning use the soft fabric cloth and gently rub on your projector lens. That’s how you can clean your projector lens and it will also help to improve your projector lens life.

Zoom

The movies having blurry edges on the screen don’t have that much effect. Because you get into movies too much, if you are watching your favourite one. But when you project text on screen, it will bother you badly.

Also when you’re watching movies if you are sensitive to the blurry edges. So fix this completely out of focus on your screen. And then again focus it until you get a sweet point.

Resolution

I am a hundred per cent, sure people. Who is reading this article all have different resolution projectors. So my suggestion for the resolution.

Will be if your projector is a 1080p projector then give it 1080p resolution content. So your projector won’t try to degrade or enhance the picture quality. It will project what you give him.

Picture Settings

All the projectors have various picture modes and settings. But for the good and blanched image quality. You should go with the cinematic or movie picture settings.

Adjusting color, brightness & contrast

Every person has a different taste of image brightness, colour & contrast. So my suggestion will be one by one to increase everything. And then decrease until we get a sweet spot for your eye.

In conclusion, if you have a budget you should go with the smart film screens. To turn your normal glass wall into the screen. If you haven’t a good budget you can go with the other cheaper option that I mention.

If you don’t have the budget for the projector screen. And also you don’t have the glass wall or a budget for that you can use your normal home wall. By colouring the black it will also give you a good result.
