When you enter the world of creating your own home cinema, you might not know where to start. You're instantly bombarded with specifications you might not know. While there are some important specifications that determine your perfect beamer, there is one that is the most important: the resolution.
To give a short explanation, resolution is the sharpness of your image. Resolution is determined by the number of individual pixels that come out of your beamer; it's the tiny dots of light from your beamer projection. The more pixels you have, the better the image quality and the more detailed your movie or series will look.
As beamer experts, we often see people making the mistake of thinking they need the absolute highest number of resolution to have a good time. But with beamers, it's different and we will explain why in this post. The best resolution isn't alway the most expensive one. The best resolution suited for you depends on your viewing habits, screen size and budget.
In this guide, we will explain the three industry standards to help you find the right resolution for your own home cinema: 720p, 1080p and 2160p (4K).
