9 guides · Choosing, setting up and owning a projector
Projector guides.
Neon+ publishes nine practical guides for choosing, setting up and owning a portable projector, including choosing by the room, native versus supported resolution, battery versus mains power, room light and brightness, classroom setup, the 1.2:1 throw ratio, a pre-lesson checklist, and warranty, delivery and support. They are written for teachers, trainers and home users in Malaysia.

Choosing a projector
To choose a portable projector, write a one-page room brief first: usable wall width, lens-to-wall distance, room light, number of viewers, source devices, power and whether the projector will move.
Read the guideNative resolution vs supported input: what projector buyers should checkNative resolution is the fixed pixel grid a projector uses to draw its image.
Read the guideBattery projector or externally powered projector?Choose a battery projector when you will present where a socket is uncertain or the session is short and mobile.
Read the guideHow room light and image size affect projector brightness in a classroomRoom light and image size decide how bright a projector looks, not the lumen rating alone.
Read the guideWhich projector connections should you check before buying?Check five projector connections before you buy a portable projector: the socket your picture arrives on, the route the sound takes out, whether its USB ports can read a file off a stick, whether it takes a cable to your network, and what its wireless casting line actually promises.
Read the guideSetting up
Set up a classroom projector by checking the whole teaching space, not the projector alone: map the image area and the seats, test in the room's normal light, work out the lens distance from the throw ratio, prove a main and a fallback source, project real lesson material, then record the working setup.
Read the guideWhat a 1.2:1 throw ratio means for projector distance and placementA 1.2:1 throw ratio means the projector's lens sits 1.2 metres from the screen for every metre of image width.
Read the guideClassroom projector setup checklist: pre-lesson checksA classroom projector setup checklist covers eight checks to run before each lesson: a stable surface, clear vents, power connected and cables out of walkways, the right input selected, the image aligned and focused, real lesson content on screen, room lights set as in class, and the result recorded.
