I'm shopping for my first projector now and need some help to understand what really matters in lumens and contrast ratio. Here are my questions:
1. How much of a difference will I see between two projectors with 1200 lumens vs 1500 lumens or 1600 lumens vs 2000 lumens? I need to answer this for both a HT with some ambient light and for a business conference room.
2. How much difference will I see on an LCD projector with a 300:1 contrast ratio (like a Mits X80) and another with a 400:1 contrast ratio (like NEC 155/156)?
3. Would I be better off getting a projector with 1200 lumens & 500:1 contrast ratio or one with 1600 lumens & 400:1 contrast ratio?
Thanks.
