A projector is something that has become very common these days. A lot of people want to experience the theater at home. And it is a very good way to attract friends and family to come over and spend time at your place.
So once you buy the projector, how do you go about installing it?
Projector and flat screen television installation is not that easy actually speaking. You first need to get yourself a mounting. This will cost you around 150 to 200 dollars. This is a lot of money considering you might have spent just 5 times that amount on the projector itself. There are a few other options like buying the unofficial versions made in places like china or india. These will cost around 30 or 50 dollars, but will serve the purpose.
The tools you require for installing a projector would be a hammer, a screw driver, circular level, tape measure and a step ladder. Remember you also need someone to help you when you try to screw it in place.
First , you must measure your room to see which positioning would be optimum. You must also make sure your room does not have much light entering when you don’t want it to. Because you want to simulate a theater and the projector will not work when there is bright light.
Then you must actually bore the holes into the ceiling. And then hold the mount and screw it into place with the help of a friend. Then you can just clamp the projector into the mount and you are done with the entire installation process.
Lastly, you have to fine tune the job. The mount will usually allow for pitch, yaw and rotation in all angles. With the help of a spirit level, you can make sure the projector is properly aligned with the screen.
You can feel good about the fact that you have saved a few hundred dollars which you would have otherwise paid a service person to come for installing your projector. With all this is place, you can go ahead and enjoy your new purchase.
