What makes one projection panel different from the next?
There are several factors involved: Resolution: This is how many actual pixels are on the panel measured the same way a standard computer monitor is. Higher resolution will yield a better looking image while costing more. Typical resolutions are : 640*480,800*600,1024*768. There are some panels that offer resolutions higher then the “native resolution” this is sometimes called scaling or compression it is not as good as a panel that normally runs at that resolution. Colors : Colors are the amount of color a panel can display. Generally measured in millions of colors or bits. More colors create a much better looking image. More colors will cost more. Contrast ratio: This is a big one. This is how much range there is between a pixel on the panel being completely on or completely off. The higher the contrast ratio the better the image especially for white scenes and dark scenes. Inputs: This is what kind of sources the panel takes. Most panels take VGA input while some have VGA and other
