How to Increase Luminosity for a Pocket Projector

Pocket projectors are useful in small spaces.

Pocket projectors are useful in areas where space is at a premium. Office boardrooms, bedrooms and other areas where a small footprint and large images are important are all candidate spaces for these projectors. However, given the smaller bulb and lens inherent with any projector this small, there are only so many ways to improve the output of the projector, measured in lumens.

Things You'll Need

• Projector remote
• Projector manual

Instructions

1. Press the "Menu" or "Setup" button on the projector or the projector's remote. Cycle through the menu options until "Contrast" and "Brightness" options are highlighted.

2. Select the two controls dictating lumen output. Adjust the contrast and brightness until the desired output level is achieved. Save and exit the options setup by pressing the "Exit" or "Menu" button on the projector or remote.

3. Lower the room's ambient lighting. Dim or shut off lights, and close any blinds or curtains. Competing light sources dramatically reduce the perceived light output of any projector.
