How large can a Barco projector screen be in a home theater?

Answer:

There is no single ideal screen size for every Barco projector.

The right screen dimensions depend on the projector’s light output, lens and throw distance, screen material and gain, aspect ratio, seating distance, room conditions, and the brightness level the system is designed to achieve.

This is one reason Barco offers Residential projectors with dramatically different levels of light output. Heimdall CinemaScope delivers 4,500 ANSI lumens, while the flagship Nerthus delivers up to 32,000 lumens. That additional light output can support larger screens and more ambitious private cinema designs when the entire projection system is properly engineered.

Barco has also documented extraordinary real-world residential installations. One project used three Balder CinemaScope projectors blended together to create an approximately 58-foot-wide architectural image.

Rather than starting with an arbitrary diagonal screen measurement, Definitive Electronics can engineer the screen and projection system together around the room dimensions and desired viewing experience. Get a quote.
