The first and foremost important thing that matters in a projector’s image quality is its “Contrast Ratio”. Since now you are having a projector, it’s important to know how you can get most of the purchase yield in expressions of image quality.

Every of single detail matters in image quality. How and what is a good contrast ratio for a projector is a question that disturbs many projector users. From perfect resolution to correct vibrancy and sharpness, everything has its importance in its shoes. All these balanced things together, give us the desired image quality. However, the game-changer card in the game is the Contrast Ratio.

What is Contrast Ratio

Before we tell you the best contrast ratio for your projector, first let us see what contrast ratio is. There is no such hard and cold definition of contrast ratio: don’t panic.

The contrast ratio is the difference between the white and black light of the image expressed by numbers. To better understand this, you need to understand that the sharpness of an image is at its high peak when comparing the whitest and the darkest light of the light.

The come out contrast ratio of this is will be 1000:1. Where represent the white side of the picture and 1 as the dark side. Similarly, if you have 3000:1 then, 3000 is the white contrast and 1 is the dark one.

So, What Is a Good Contrast Ratio For a Projector?

Well, according to the good rule of thumb, the best and the most recommended contrast ratio is 10,000:1. This contrast ratio is best to avoid every wear and tear.

“The higher the contrast ratio, the better will be the image quality.”

However, this contrast ratio will also be affected by the surrounding. If you use this ratio in a dark environment, then you will notice that the image quality is extremely impressive as you may think of it. For better experience and results, spend some time in your environment to figure out the desired contrast ratio.

Note that, every person has its likes and dislikes. This recommended will prove to be best for some people, while for others it may be just so so.

9000:1 contrast ratio is also a good one. But as mentioned above, some may find it okay, while others take it as a bit off. Personal experience and preference will win in the end.

Why Is Contrast Ratio So Important?

Many people ask that why do I even care about contrast ratio, mean is it that important? To all the people out there who have the same question (even if you), the simplest and the honest answer is, Yes, its Hella important to maintain the contrast ratio of the image.

Think honestly what is the use of having an image quality that doesn’t even show the image properly? According to the good rule of thumb once you spend your money on any product, and then it is your right to get the best outcome from it.

What Affects the Contrast Ratio?

The biggest enemy of contrast ratio is none other than “Light.” A little amount of room light or any other outdoor light is enough to destroy the settled contrast ratio. Either you have a 1000:1 or 10,000:1 ratio, just turn on the light, and then try to distinguish between them.

Try the following method to keep the contrast ratio maintained.

• Cover the windows: Try your best to eliminate all the outdoor light coming from the windows
• Turn the light off: Keep the dark as possible
• Dark walls or ceiling: As mentioned above, the darker the room, okay will be the contrast ratio

Lastly, even after trying all these mentioned ways, the contrast ratios remained disturbed, and then try some electronic techniques to increase the contrast ratio. Or you can go with the second option of having a bright projector.

A bright projector can reduce the effect of explosive light but cannot eliminate it.

How to Measure the Contrast Ratio?

There are two common ways to measure the contrast ratio. The first is ANSI contrast and the second is On/Off contrast. The first method “ANSI Contrast” is the valid method to measure contrast ratio. This method is hard to handle only used by some manufacturers. While on the other hand, the On/Off method is the easiest one, but it gives false readings. Let us see the difference between them.

1. On/OFF Contrast

The On/Off contrast measure reading by measuring the brightness of the white block of the IRE trial design (on) and the brightness of the black block of the IRE trial design (off). The outcome 10,000:1 contrast ratio will indicate the ratio of white is 10,000 xs brighter than black.

2. ANSI Contrast

This method is a more advanced and accurate one. ANSI contrast doesn’t use the IRE test pattern method; instead, it uses a checker rectangular board. The rectangular board is consisting of 8 black blocks and 8 white blocks. The brightness of the white & blocks are measured than an average is calculated. After taking the average values, the ratio is calculated.

The calculated ratio is known as the ANSI Contrast.

Conclusion

We do hope that after reading this article your all queries must all solved. In this article, we give you detailed information about what is a good contrast ratio for a projector and how to calculate it.

Figuring out the best contrast ratio for a projector is not such a difficult task. We have mentioned the methods to calculate it.

So you are here to find the best way to clean the projector lens, sounds impressive. Well, we have to admit that a dirty and smudgy lens spoils the quality of the image. Like any other household item, the projector lens needs our attention to clean often.

Okay, first, don’t assume it is a difficult task. Cleaning projector lens is children’s play. Without wasting your precious time, put on your gloves, and get into the game.

Best Way to Clean Projector Lens

Believe it or not, cleaning the projector lens is a very easy task. Or we can say that it can be done even by a kid. Here are the four steps that will lead you to a clean and crystal clear projector lens.

Don’t skip any step if you want to enjoy a clean lens inside out.

Step 1: Cleaning Preparations

So you have stepped into the process of cleaning the projector’s lens. The first step you need to take is to make sure that the projector is completely cooled down.

During usage, the lens is warmed up easily. So if you have used the projector freshly, then switch it off and remove all the cables. Let the projector cool down completely for at least 30-60 minutes. Cleaning the projector’s lens without letting it cool down results in scratches and damage.

Now following things you are gonna use while cleaning,

• Lens cleaning Clothe
• Compressed Air Spray
• Lens Cleaning Solution
• Tissue paper
• Cleaning Brush

Step 2: Open the Projector

Well, this step is optional. It is only mentioned here for those who want to clean the lens from the inside as well.

To clean the inside of the lens, you have to open the projector. Note that the opening of the projector will vary, based on the brand. Every brand has different ways of opening the projector. To check the way of opening your projector, see the user manual. In some projectors, a button is also present for the opening.

Step 3: Gently Clean the Projector’s Inside

After opening the projector, take the compressed air spray to remove all the dust. Carefully use the spray and keep it at least 4 inches away from the projector.

Now the second thing you need to do is to use a soft cleaning cloth to wipe the dirt and moisture. Dirt usually accumulates around the moisture; make sure to wipe it properly by using a cleaning cloth.

Step 4: Clean the Lens

The last but the most important step: cleaning the lens. Since you have cleaned the inside of the lens and projector, now learn how to clean it externally. First, remove the lens cap and clean the dust by using compressed air spray.

After cleaning the dust, take the lens cleaning solution and drop only 1-2 drops of it on the cleaning cloth of the lens. Now gently clean it. Clean it in a circular motion, starting from the center to the edges. Similarly, if you are using a cleaning brush, then use the same procedure to clean it.

Disclaimer: Remember that only 1-2 drops of lens cleaning solution are enough. The more you use, the harder it will be to clean it. And also, never put the cleaning solution on the lens. Always drop it on the cleaning brush or cloth.

Lastly, put the lens cap back on it.

Things to Avoid While Cleaning Lens

Some users do follow desi myths to clean the projector lens and end up damaging the lens. So if you don’t want to damage your lens, then try to avoid the mentioned things.

Never Use a T-shirt: No matter how silky & soft a T-shirt you have, never ever use it to clean the projector lens. Use only a lens cleaning cloth if you want to avoid scratches formation.

Don’t Use Any Cleaning Solution: Use only lens cleaning solution for lens cleaning. A big no-no for any other household glass cleaning solution. Because those solutions will have a different chemical composition which can damage the lens.

Never Use Breath to Clean the Lens: Yeah don’t be a desi man who tries to clean the lens by their breath. Use a proper hygiene method to clean the lens.

Don’t Touch the Lens: Repetitive touches on the lens will leave your fingerprints on it and make it smudgy and dirty again. Try to avoid touching it as much as possible.

Cleaning your room, put in necessary stuff like snacks, and drinks, and get ready to enjoy a movie night in a cozy environment. But wait! What is that sound? Is it coming from your projector? Please don’t! Noisy projectors always spoil the quality of movie nights.

Not only on movie nights but also in meetings and online classes, a noisy projector cut down the presentation quality. There should be some ways where you can learn about how to make a projector quieter. If you are looking for a solution, then you are at the right place.

Here we have managed to provide you with the most authentic and valid information. Provide yourself benefits by using the given ways. And make sure to enjoy the best 4k projector experience.

Why is My Projector So Loud?

The main cause of your projector’s noise is the cooling fan turning on.
Some projector components can become hot when used; a high temperature will cause your projector to work harder and be noisier.

4 Ways to Make a Projector Fan Quieter

Having a noisy projector is not a problem anymore. These provided ways are the best in the business.

But before we get straight into the topic, there is one thing that you need to know. Every projector is different from one another. Some projectors are designed in a way that they produce little noise. While on the other hand, some projectors (mostly the old design) produce way more sound than the others.

So if you are having the old version of the projector, then yes, there is a need to learn how to make a projector quieter. And if having the new one, then still learn it because you will need it somehow in the future.

1. Clear the Dust from the Vent

No matter how much you clean the projector from the outside; there are still some dust particles that manage to enter the vent of the projector. Those dust particles not only disturb the fan but, also heat up the projector easily.

The science behind this is that dust particles accumulate around the fan when they enter through the vent. The fan which is running to cool the projector makes noise due to the accumulated dust. And due to improper running of the fan, the projector in returns heat easily.

2. Change the Position of the Projector & Use Eco Mode

Want to know the easiest way to wipe away the problem right away? Then just move the projector away from you! That’s it. You will complain about the noise problem till you are experiencing the issue. Once the issue will move away from you your complaint will also end right away. In case you still experience noise problems, then install a hush box.

Now let us talk about what will be the benefit of using Eco Mode on the noise of the projector. If you want to enjoy a quieter projector, then nothing can be more significant than switching to the Eco Mode of the projector.

The Eco mode of the projector is way less bright than the normal mode. In the Eco mode, the engine of the projector work less, and the need for a fan to cool the device is also less. Hence the fan works less and makes less sound! As simple as this.

3. Cool the Room and Put a Fabric on the Wall

As mentioned above that the noise is due to the fan of the projector which is trying to cool the device. If you keep the projector in a cool room then you can avoid the noise up to a great level.

A well-air-conditioned room will keep the projector at a normal temperature. And the fan is no more required to run further and make noise.

Since you have maintained the temperature of the room, now it is time to put a piece of fabric on the wall to evade the reflection of sound. Basically, hard and stiff walls reflect the sound while fabrics absorb the sound.

If you put the fabric on the wall then you’ll be amazed by the quality of the sound. However, it is not possible to put fabrics in meeting and conference rooms, but still try to put them where possible.

4. Install a Hush Box for the Projector

Installing a hush box is the best way to avoid noise production. Sound disturbance greatly affects the viewers’ experience. Hush boxes are the best option because they allow better air conduction to the projector.

It has been noted from a series of studies that when projectors are kept in the hush boxes, they produce less sound as compared to those projectors who run without the hush boxes.

Okay, there is some possibility that you may think about how to get a hush box and how much will it cost? Well, don’t worry! You don’t need to purchase a hush box because you can easily craft it at your home! Yes, you heard it absolutely right. YouTube is full of DIY videos regarding the hush box. So make sure to watch the most useful video.

Conclusion

The noisy projector is the issue of every third person, but knowing the solution to it is the talent of only a few people. Here in this article, we shared with you the 4 easiest ways of making a Projector Quieter. The most amazing thing about these tips is that they don’t even cost a single penny.

Try making the projector quiet by cleaning the vent of the projector. Dust is the only element that causes noise in the projector. Even if after cleaning the projector, the noise issue is still there, then try the second way of changing the position of the projector. The farther the projector will be the more relaxed you will be.

Lastly, make sure to use the mentioned ways in a proper manner. Don’t put the projector so away from you that it spoils the video quality, and also use a high-quality fabric to get the sound absorbed correctly.

Bridging the Projector along the line with a Macbook, consider it adequately DONE.

How to Connect Macbook and Macbook Pro to Projector

A Macbook is totally different from a Macbook Pro; therefore, the possible connection to integrating a projector with two of the devices would be moderately different.

Let’s pick ’em up from the nose!

How to Connect Macbook to Projector

See, the plain and simple ‘Macbook’ is what we mean here (expect no fancy down here!)

While it is not sane to jump towards the straightforward process called the ‘connection’ between the Macbook (simple) with a projector, first, we need to understand and collect what actually is required down here.

And what really is required here;

• Video cable (either it is VGA or HDMI)
• The Mac adapter cable *the other way around*
• One Macbook
• And, one piece of Projector

Now to the process!

1. Get your Macbook turned on.
2. Please turn on the Projector and let it fully loaded after switching the power button on.
3. Either your Projector got VGA or HDMI (does not matter here), get the cable right from the Projector, and plug it into Mac’s port dedicated for VGA or HDMI (whichever port you are using.)
4. Get help from the Mac Adapters if you hit any kind of trouble in establishing the connection and the Mac adapters come to the rescue. The ‘USB-C VGA Multi Adapter‘ and ‘Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter‘ would ease the job.
5. Now that you have both of the devices connected and synced up, now click on the Apple menu from the top-left of your Macbook.
6. Go to the System Preferences out of the drop-down menu.
7. Get to click over the Display icon.
8. Hop for the Detect Display button and make a quick click (why acting slow!)
9. At this time and the point, your Projector and Mac should be all readied, synced up, and must be delivering the content by now. Congrats!!

Oh no! THEY are still not working and displaying any sort of content, but the black screen is all that can be seen on the Projector. Do NOT worry at all; we got the solution, or better call, the troubleshooting steps to clear the issue out.

Troubleshooting: Connection between Macbook and Projector ain’t working

• Ensure you have all the cables fully attached on both devices and are not left loose.
• After checking and assuring that, it is time to look for the settings again.
• Now, go hit the Apple Menu from your Macbook and then select System Preferences from the menu.
• Go to the Displays icon and then the Arrangement tab afterward.
• Do check the Mirror Displays box that you would be able to detect from the lower side and to the left-hand corner.
• As you have checked the box, wait for a couple of seconds, and you would be able to see an identical image displaying on both of the screens of your Projector and Macbook.

So, congratulations! That seamlessly takes you to connect Macbook to Projector in one single attempt (expectedly!)

How to Connect Macbook Pro to Projector

See, the Macbook Pro is a lot different from the plain and simple Macbook (which Apple’s family introduced.)

And the Apple Macbook Pro was first introduced in 2006 and still has been dominating the world of computers by contributing its most significant chunk due to the popularity and still is in demand arisen by the techie folks wanting to get a hold of it to look classy and smarty!

There is a lot to say and speak about the Macbook Pro, but we got one primary job to get done with its help — Connecting the Macbook Pro to Projector.

On a serious note, we do not care what the Macbook Pro possesses *jokingly* as long as it is all set to connect with our precious Projector to upbeat our entertainment time.

Unlike the Macbook connecting with the Projector, it is about the same processes that you would observe this time when hooking the Macbook Pro with a Projector.

But before moving ahead, it is certain we need some sort of the preparations to go through to ensure we have all the basic and required stuff at our disposal not to look numb when the connection is being established (and, really NOT wanna feel embarrassed in front of ANYONE.)

What we need here is;

• A Macbook Pro
• Ownership of the Projector (a must!)
• VGA and/or HDMI cable
• Apple Display Adapters (the workaround here)

Now to the process;

1. Power up your Macbook Pro.
2. Get the Projector turned on.
3. Now, using the VGA cable coming off from the Projector that goes into the Projector, let’s do it.
4. Or if you got an HDMI cable, do it the same way.
5. At the time of needing and acquiring the assistance of Apple Display Adapters, that is not entirely a worrying sign. All you need is to find the supported and original Apple-made display adapter, and the following would work;

• USB-C VGA Multi Adapter
• Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
• USB-C Digital AV Multi Adapter (for HDMI)
• Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter (for DVI)
• Apple HDMI to DVI Adapter

1. Once the ports are filled with the cables, go to the Apple icon from your Macbook Pro and then click over System Preferences.
2. Now to the Displays.
3. And then make a click on Detect Displays. Once you have clicked, the Macbook Pro’s screen should be displaying up on the Projector in a second or two. In case it does not, keep the Source button pressed up from the Projector until the Macbook Pro’s screen does not show up.

Why do you even need to connect your Macbook with a projector?

Well, you should get your own reasons to connect your Macbook with a projector for the countless ones…

Starting with it, we are sure the Macbook and Macbook Pro are quite handy, lightweight, and portable to move around, so are the particular types of the Projector that are exclusively designed for enough portability.

But setting up the Projector in the outdoor location is quite simple even though it is not rated for portable use, but operating the Projector could bring a lot of stress.

And to entirely deal with the situation, the Macbook and Macbook Pro are the right option to bring in the video source to push the Projector to display what you need to watch.

Still, the reasons could be quite different than the scope down here.

Not just it helps to throw out the entertainment content to accommodate the large pool of folks gathered in your backyard and enjoy the party, we got several other reasons where Macbook computers are a good fit.

MacBook and Projector in office

See that! This is where the Macbook is quite common to be seen and is called the office.

In today’s world, the offices are the prime location where Macbook and Macbook Pro are thought to be coming up to emit its efficiency to the best, and under the meeting rooms, the typical way to hop on the Projector is to actually get the Macbook connected with it to stream through the presentations without needing to buy any external and dedicated devices to first load ’em up with the content.

So, any of the random and work-oriented Macbook would do a lot better of the job here without costing anything to the bill.

MacBook and Projector in Universities

Another advanced use we can ever find by seeing the Macbook assisting in university classes.

For a bright example, imagine the class full of students (around 100) and the blackboard or whiteboard is quite a task to be seen from the distance where many of the universities have decided to change their way of teaching by adopting the latest technology.

And the latest technology that consists of the Projector (majority) to bring its widescreen to fully cover with the ability to zoom in and out at request has dismissed the complaint of not seeing anything heavily.

With the Macbook and Macbook Pro, the teachers find it quite efficient to load up the teaching staff to present in front of the jam-packed classroom without sacrificing productivity.

Some more on it…

All in all, the use of the Projector is always beneficial under various circumstances given the fact you have a lot of bigger screens at your disposal, and the latest projectors rarely ask for maintenance, which is an excellent money-saving technique while enjoying the content on the big and widescreen!

And hooking them up with the Projector is quite a move just because of the reason almost everyone owns this smart computer and putting it on the bigger screen is not less than the advantageous task under the situations you would feel super proud to be spare (to not invest a single dime of money.)

Both known to be the equipment of the familiar places such as offices, seminars, home, school, churches, universities, outdoor parties, pool parties, family gatherings, and more; the use of Macbook with Projector would always bring you the benefits to make the job done effectively and smartly.

How You Can Connect Android Phone to Projector Wirelessly

Before digging deep, we first need to collect and put up the required instruments to make a successful connection with the projector wirelessly.

What we require

• An Android phone (of course, who can forget about that? 😀
• Get Miracast (device), Chromecast (device).

Connecting wirelessly with Miracast

To have it set up through Miracast, the first step is to actually download the Miracast first on both devices, your Android and the projector.

In a situation where the projector does not have the built-in Miracast functionality while your Android phone does, do not worry about that at all.

Purchase the Miracast video adaptor that goes into your HDMI port up on the projector to make the wireless connection established between the phone and the projector with ease.

And how really connect the Android phone using the Miracast through the Miracast video adapter? Let’s follow this simple guide;

• Get the Miracast Video Adapter online or from the local store.
• Plugin the Miracast device upon the HDMI port and the power cord on the USB port, then turn on the projector.
• Now, connect the smartphone to the Miracast by tapping the ‘Cast’ button you can find on your phone’s notification bar.
• Tap on Miracast’s name and wait for a bit to get your phone fully mirrored and being seen on the projector.

That is all it takes to connect the Android phone through Miracast wirelessly.

Connecting with Chromecast

Okay, we understand your projector does not support Miracast, and the second and most-common alternative is to employ Chromecast made and offered by Google itself.

Known for delivering the high-end and qualitative image in 4K and UHD, watching the content through Chromecast makes the whole experience fabulous for you.

By the way, hooking the Chromecast with the projector to utilize the phone is far more convenient than the many tried methods, so it just takes merely a minute to get it all set up quite successfully.

• Let’s get the Chromecast device hooked into the HDMI port that you would generally find from the back of the projector.
• Turn off the ‘Power Saving’ mode from the phone (it is the must, or else you would lose the quality of the image)
• Get your phone as well as the Chromecast to connect with the same wireless network to allow it to sync up together.
• Then download the Google Home app right on your phone.
• When downloaded, tap on the ‘Menu’ and move to ‘Cast Screen.’
• On the second window, get to select the name of your Chromecast device and have the content start displaying up on the projector screen.
