How do I watch TV with a projector?

To turn your TV session into a big-screen experience, start by connecting your video source. Use an HDMI cable to link the video output from your source to the corresponding port on the projector. Make sure all devices are turned on, then start the projector by selecting the appropriate video input. Adjust the resolution of the video source according to the projector's native resolution to ensure optimal image quality. Then adjust the focus and image size using the camera controls. If the projector has built-in speakers, turn them on. Otherwise, external speakers to the audio source. Use the video source remote control to change the channel or source. And don't forget to turn off the devices properly once you're done. The exact steps may vary depending on the specifics of the projector model chosen. So refer to the user manual for more detailed instructions.

Does a projector consume more than a television?

The power consumption between a projector and a television varies depending on various factors such as the technology used, the size of the screen and the specific features of each device. As a general rule, portable projectors tend to consume more power than screens of equivalent size, especially high-brightness models designed for larger spaces. It should be noted that modern televisions, equipped with LED, OLED or QLED technologies, have become more energy efficient thanks to features such as automatic brightness management. The duration of use also has a significant impact on energy consumption. It is essential to point out that projectors are often used for large-scale projections, while televisions are more commonly used for smaller areas, which can alter the perception of energy consumption.
