Rear Projection<\/span><\/h2>\nRear projection<\/span> involves putting a projector behind a screen, so there\u2019s no need to place it somewhere within or behind the <\/span>audience<\/span>. This can take away valuable space, dedicating an area just for a projector. While 90% of the time a front projection offers better visuals, with enough space a <\/span>rear projection<\/span> setup may be a superior choice. That\u2019s because it allows ambient light to hit the back of the screen to achieve the best image; this also helps to improve projected images appearing on the front of the screen. Another plus is that because a rear projector tends to be closer to the screen, fewer lumens can be used, offering savings when it comes to rental costs. Some event planners also prefer <\/span>rear projection<\/span> as it reduces noise levels. Projector fans, especially those used on high-brightness projectors, can create a sound that\u2019s disruptive in quiet spaces.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nOf course, <\/span>rear projection<\/span> has some other downfalls that must be considered. <\/span>Rear projectors <\/span>places near the screen will likely require a short-throw lens to properly fill the screen. In addition, they often reflect a lot of light back toward the projector. When this happens, a significant amount of brightness is lost, damaging the visual for the <\/span>audience<\/span>. Lastly, rear projection requires a special screen that allows light to pass through it; standard screens don\u2019t allow this in order to reflect as much light as possible back toward the audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
