Sorry if this is the wrong place to post something like this, but I can't see any sort of "general" forum - admin feel free to move
We are contemplating replacing our projector at church, which is currently a BoxLight model (I forget which) that has 1800 Lumens. It's about 5 or 6 years old now and the brightness is suffering, as is the contrast. Now we could just replace the bulb, but we've also had the projector mounted and now it's a bit close to the wall meaning we'd need a short throw lens (at around NZ$3000+ this is about the same as a new projector).
Do you have any recommendations as to what you use?
* 3000, 3500, 4000 - ansi lumens?
* 1000:1, 2000:1 - contrast?
* 1024x768 .... HiDef?
We do your usual projection type stuff, songs on a black background, video clips as part of sermons and visual based notices ...
We do this in a 300-400 seat auditorium
Thanks in advance
