1.Should I buy a screen or go for a no-screen option?

The surface you project on is important. You could use a wall; white is best, but it still won't show off the projector's display. Every tiny bump refracts light and creates small shadows, so the image ultimately loses quality and brightness. It is advised to get a projector screen, especially if you'll watch with a little daylight. Projector screens brighten the image noticeably, depending on what they're coated in.

4K projectors are more expensive and not as common as 4K TVs because the pixels on projector chips are very small. Unless you're really investing in a proper home theatre, most living room setups won't allow an average viewer to spot the difference between a good 1080p projector and a reasonably priced 4K projector.

3.What resolution should I choose?

Resolution matters, but less than you think. Most projectors these days are at least XGA (1024 x 768) resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio format that has been the staple for giving PowerPoint presentations. A few entry-level models are still SVGA (800 x 600), and pocket projectors sometimes have low native resolutions that the manufacturers won't admit about.

4.How much brightness do I need?

Brightness is the most important specification to start with while buying a projector. If the image is not bright enough to be seen clearly, then nothing else will matter. Getting enough light out of the projector is often the biggest challenge, but it is impossible to get a projector that is too bright. If a projector is ever too bright, you can always simply turn the brightness down. But making a projector which is too dim brighter won't be possible.

5.Where does a projector's light originate?

Projectors mainly use two lamp technologies metal halide and LED. LED is still not common outside the area of the pocket projectors. Almost all of the others use metal halide, a form of the tungsten lamp normally with a lifespan of 2000 to 5000 hours if used with the default brightness setting. A handful of the systems use hybrid technologies that augment LED with the laser light source.

6.Where should I place my projector?

Most use their projectors mainly for event viewing or movies at night, and the usual sports broadcast. If that's your plan, the best option is to set up the projector on a table or other flat surface. You can keep it locked away in a closet or cupboard when you're not using it. Remember that most projectors have no sound capability. To watch a Blu-ray movie, you'll need to connect your player's video output to the projector and run the audio to external speakers. And if the projector will be located near you, look for a model with a quiet cooling fan. If you have more of a dedicated home theatre in mind (or if you want to keep your projector out of the reach of small children), you can ceiling-mount it. The projector will also need AC power, plus a video connection from any source you want to feed to it.

The screen size: Especially the width must be considered. If you plan to display on your wall or even a white sheet, you must know how big it is to buy the right size. Some projectors have bigger display ratios, while some are smaller.
Throw Distance: How far your screen is from the projector is also an important aspect. If your room is small or big it will make a difference to the image quality. It is also better to invest in a projector that can provide more zoom capabilities. This is also tied to the screen size.
Resolution: It is used in reference to the number of dots or pixels which make up an image. Higher resolutions mean that more pixels help create a crisper, vivid, and cleaner image. It is better to go for a projector that will offer you more resolution to enhance your viewing experience.
