More and more often, museums and galleries are required to put on elaborate, headline grabbing displays to attract visitors. Projectors are frequently the solution, which means that more advanced models are generally needed.
It is crucial to find the right projector for the job. A projector that works well in your living room might not necessarily be the right model to use in a museum, which has large spaces with lots of ambient light.
Museums are keeping up with projector technology to enhance artistic expression. This June, the Japanese multimedia art collective teamLab will open the Digital Art Museum in Tokyo. Using 470 projectors and 520 computers, teamLab created a 107,600 square foot exhibit called ‘Borderless,’ which comprises more than 50 interactive art pieces. The artworks aren’t separated but blend into one another within the rooms and corridors where they are displayed.
In the spirit of enhancing art with cutting edge technology, here are some of the top projectors for museums and art exhibits:
Sony VPL-PHZ10
This Sony projector offers 5,000 lumens of brightness, which will provide great illumination in nearly any light conditions. With up to 20,000 hours of continuous operation, this projector is suited for frequent use that is typical of museums exhibits. With Sony’s proprietary BrightEra 3LCD projection technology, the VPL-PHZ10 delivers vibrant color and fine-detail resolution.
Panasonic PT-RZ870
Available in July 2018, the Panasonic PT-RZ870 projector is capable of maintenance-free operation for up to 20,000 hours thanks to air-tight and dust-resistant optical units and cooling systems, making it ideal for museums. This projector blends crisp and vivid imagining with 8,500 lumens of brightness.
Christie D4K3560
Now here’s something that will make you react like the subject in Edvard Munch’s The Scream: this Christie model’s brightness reaches 35,000 lumens! This, along with its native 4k resolution, makes the Christie D4K3560 ideal for large applications, including museums.

Best Projectors and Tips for Hosting an Outdoor Movie Night
It has become a common summer activity to screen movies in your backyard with a projector, which is a lot easier than hauling your TV outside. However, you need to make sure you know what you’re doing before you gather an audience that includes family and friends. Have you found a level area to set up the screen and projector? A hill is great for seating, but the movie set-up should be on flat ground. Also, consider the light and sound that will be generated by your party and whether or not these things will disturb your neighbors (if they aren’t joining you).
Below is our list of other technical tips for using a projector and the best projectors for an outdoor movie night:
- You’ll need to wait for dusk, which in summer can be as late as 9 pm. To start watching your movie earlier, you need a projector that has a brightness of at least 3,000 lumens. The more lumens, the brighter the image will be and the less of a factor the ambient light will be.
Optoma HD143X
The highly rated Optoma HD143X is new for 2018, and with its 3,000 lumens you will see it all. It has HD resolution and supports 3D viewing, among other great features.
- Before you purchase a projector, consider the media player you will use. Most people will find DVD/Blu-Ray players, laptops or USB sticks the most useful; thus, most home theater projectors connect to them easily. However, if you can only stream your selected content wirelessly, you will need to verify that your projector has the ability to deliver.
BenQ TK800
This BenQ model has many connectivity options, including one that isn’t common among projectors of its kind: HDCP 2.2 compatibility. This means that if you’ve downloaded an HD movie to watch you won’t be thwarted by the file’s digital rights management security features. Other attractive benefits of the BenQ TK800 include a brightness rating of 3,000 lumens and 4k resolution.
- You need a projector that will be easy to set up and one that will create the picture size you need. Depending on how you set up your outdoor theater, you may need a projector that can be placed close to the screen or farther away.
ViewSonic PX747-4K
This ViewSonic projector has a wide throw distance range, projecting as close to the screen as four feet or as far away as 32 feet. It has excellent brightness (3,500 lumens) and features 4K resolution.

Best Projectors for Wedding Receptions
Whether being used to enhance a speech or for adding to the general atmosphere of the reception, it is increasingly common to see projectors at a wedding. Some are used to display photos from the ceremony, while others may feature baby photos of the married couple or favorite photos of their relationship over the years. Although the photos can be viewed by guests on a tablet or laptop, projecting them on a screen is far more impressive.
If you simply want to show a series of photos, you can get by with basic SVGA resolution. However, videos will require a more advanced projector. Your best option for video performance would be one with HD capabilities. Also, any projector used for this kind of function will need to have a bright lens in order to display a clear picture.
(Remember to check with the venue to see if they have a projector you can use before buying one!)
Here are some of the top recommended projectors to use for wedding receptions:
Philips PicoPix PPX4010
If your projector set-up must be flexible to accommodate the venue, look no further than the Philips PicoPix PPX 4010. It has a minimum throw distance of only 18 inches, weighs less than three ounces, and can project an image size of up to 120 inches. This model is designed as a companion to a laptop and is designed to fit in your pocket.
BenQ TK800
Do you want to impress your in-laws without blowing your wedding budget on a projector? Then this BenQ model is right for you! It offers dazzling 4k resolution at a price far lower than other 4k projectors. Another attractive feature of the TK800 is its 3,000 lumen rating, making it suitable for most venues.
Optoma UHD60
The Optoma UHD60 is perfect for viewing photographs with its rich, saturated color and impressive 1,000,000:1 contrast. This is a 4K projector that provides 3,000 lumens and has the lowest audible noise rating among projectors of its kind.
