Hey everyone, did a search and didn't see much on this topic. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Ok so I'm wondering what everyone's thinking about aspect ratios for projectors. It seems that nearly everything out there that's NOT a home theatre projector uses a 4:3 aspect ratio. Some of the higher-end projectors are using a 16:10 ratio, which is leaning towards the ratio of a mac computer (originally started by the imac if I'm not mistaken) which makes this topic even more complex.
The simple fact is that 4:3 is dominating the scene and the price range right now, or so it seems. But as a designer looking to buy some new projectors, what is the best route to go? 16:9, 4:3, 16:10?
Another issue is rentals. Most of the shops in my area specialize in corporate events. This means that they currently have inventory of primarily 4:3 projectors with thousands of lumens behind them. After a few conversations with them, they seem to think that things will stay in a 4:3 ratio in the future. Anyone have a different opinion on this?
Thanks,
Tweek
