Every family has a wish list. Married couples wish for a bigger house, families with young children wish for bottomless college funds, and now more than ever, families in the later stages of life wish for home theater systems. Entering a giveaway contest is one way to achieve this wish, and winning the lottery is another. But for those of us who can’t rely on luck, there’s an easier way to enjoy home movies and high definition DVDs and Blu-Rays on a larger than life scale—by renting a projector.

Renting is affordable

At a tiny percentage of the retail price, your family can rent a projector and keep it for as long as you’d like. You can rent the newest Blu-Ray release and keep a rental projector overnight, or you can hold it for a month and catch up on all the seasons of your favorite television series.

You’re not committed

If it any point you notice distortion or begin to wonder what an upgrade of 1000 lumen would look like, you can pack up your projector rental and send it back and order a different model. If you’re skeptical about the hype surrounding DLP vs. LCD technology, you can rent two projectors at once and compare them side by side, for less than the cost of purchasing one or the other. The NEC NP410 and the DLP 1510x are close in specifications and would make for a worthy showdown.

It gets even better

By renting a portable projector, you can bypass all the headaches that come with ownership. Add up the cost of broken parts, burnt out bulbs and faulty wires and you’ll soon realize the money you’ve also saved. When you rent a projector, you can send it back before you drop it rearranging your room, or your children knock it over with a soccer ball.

Renting a projector can ease the worry

We promise our clients that LCD and DLP projectors create an unbeatable multimedia experience, and thus, we understand why you may want to own one. Even if you’re considering buying a projector, renting one (or even two) can help you make a definitive commitment or choose between multiple projectors that you may be considering. Going into a purchase with knowledge about how the projector preforms is always a smart move, and gives you the leg up against other consumers.

When you rent a projector from Rental Projectors Corporation, you will undoubtedly be pleased with the quality of the audio visual display that each of our projector rentals produces. To get the most out of your projector rental experience, you can follow the personalized instructions that are shipped with each projector, and abide by these few simple rules when considering your options for setting up your digital projector:

1. Choose the right venue. The venue is essential in creating the best environment to use your superior DLP or LCD projector rental. It is crucial that the venue is big enough so that the entire audience of your presentation can view the projection surface from an appropriate angle. Renters get the most out of their digital multimedia projectors when various factors such as size, shape, and outside light intrusion work together to form an optimized location.
2. Test your throw distance.Throw distance is the distance from the tip of your projector rental to your surface, wall, or rental screen, and it plays a significant role in the quality of your image. Each of our multimedia projectors for rent has a different internal formula that produces a different sized image at a certain distance from your projection surface. To decide where to place your rental projector to produce the display quality you desire, visit the location of your presentation early and practice projecting an image onto your surface from various distances away, until you find the clarity and size you are looking for. If your venue is small, you may find that you have to place your rental projector in an adjacent room to produce a display that fills your entire screen or surface.
3. Select the appropriate brightnessWhile all of our projectors for rent have superior brightness capabilities, the ideal brightness setting for your rented projector depends on several things, including: the purpose of your event, the size of both your venue and audience, and the ambient light from outside sources. Generally speaking, however, if high levels of ambient light are present, or if you are displaying a presentation outside, you will need at least 2000 lumens of brightness to produce the best picture. When smaller amounts of light are present, 1200-1500 lumens are recommended, and when the venue is completely dark (such as a dark home cinema room), 1000 lumens may be all you need to produce a quality display.
4. Be sure to utilize your best connection option. Advanced projector rentals from RentalProjectors.com come with several connectability options. Low-input sources such as a VGA connection or laptop will produce a poorer quality image than an HDMI connection, or a built in HD DVD or Blu-Ray player.

And if, at any point throughout the set up of your rental projector, further questions should arise, our staff of audio visual technology specialists are available day and night to answer your calls at (888) 951-5060.

Tips for obtaining the best moving picture quality:

1) If possible, minimize ambient light in the room in which you are setting up your rental projector (from windows, ceiling lights, etc.)
2) Connect the projector using the HDMI port to obtain the greatest image quality.
3) Choose a wall in your home that is best suited to display a moving picture. Consider avoiding brightly colored walls and walls with gradients.

There are numerous different elements that can affect the quality of your projection image during your presentation that is out of your LCD or DLP projector’s control. Most of these are human errors or environmental intrusions that can be easily rectified.

The number one thing you have to remember before your presentation is to make absolutely sure you remove the lens cap before you begin setting up your PowerPoint presentation. As humorous and obvious as this sounds, this happens all the time. The presenter will be so concerned about the setup process of their projector, laptop and presentation that they forget this very important and simple step.

Always make sure that all of your connections are securely tightened and are connected where they belong. Even if you have to bring along a small screwdriver or pair of pliers, it is much better than having to watch as a loose connection pops off of your projector or laptop during the middle of your PowerPoint presentation and you have to stop your presentation in front of your audience to reconnect your equipment.

After you have all of your connections secured and you have powered on all of your devices, take a minute to analyze the projection image before you start digging into your Microsoft or MAC office programs. If the image appears distorted or out-of-focus, first make sure again you have removed the lens cap, and then go to your manual focus and zoom adjustment ring. These adjustment rings are very delicate and can shift quite easily, so chances are if your image is distorted right from the start, your manual focus and zoom adjustment ring just needs to be tinkered with a bit until your image appears crystal clear.

If you have gone through these steps and your image is still not as clear as you were hoping, analyze your presentation environment for a minute or two. How many of the lights are on? Can you turn them all off? Are the shades open on the windows? Can you close them?

Ambient light intrusion is arguably the most frustrating enemy to the PowerPoint presentation. Luckily, if you rented one of our 3000 lumen projectors, ambient light will not be a serious problem. But for those who didn’t, do whatever you can within reason to darken your presentation environment. If possible, turn off all of the interior lighting and make sure all of the shades and curtains are drawn on the windows and/or glass doors. The more lighting that you can decrease in your presentation venue, the more your projection image will increase in quality and clarity.

These are just some suggestions of many on how to correct or enhance the quality and clarity of your projection image before and during your presentation (preferably before you begin your presentation).
