    Companies measure their screens diagonally, so what I meant by “60 inches” was the measure between two corners (so it’s about 28×49 inches, but understand this is the MAXIMUM size). Another good thing to know about projectors is that they get dimmer and dimmer the farther you place it away from the wall. It’s like a flashlight: It will be very bright and thus clearer when you are, let’s say, a foot away from the wall. But when you move away five feet, it will be a little darker and less clear.

    To tell you the truth, I’m personally not a big fan of projectors. Good ones for gaming (HD quality; quick response time; high lumens), can cost you $500, and those are on the low end. Also, you must find a way to mount the projector, and thus find/buy a decent surface for viewing. If you want something just for gaming, get this:
