so after thinking for a very long time you have finally decided that you want
to buy a digital art projector because you want to recreate some amazing mural
wall art or maybe you are just interested in trying this out as a new
hobby there are many digital projectors out
there and finding the right one for artists is not the easiest job so I have
been researching for two whole days and I wrote a whole blog about it and I
finally found exactly what you need so stay tuned till the end if you want to
get the best digital projectors for artists hello there you deserve better
product
if you agree with them make sure to subscribe my goal is to have the best
guide out there because when I was looking for an art projector it was very
hard to find any valuable information so before I start with the projectors I'm
gonna dive into what you need to know when buying your first art projector so
the first thing you need to know is that there are two types of projectors you've
got digital art projectors and you've got paper art or physical art projectors
these are also called opaque projectors for digital projectors you need a PCE
phone or any type of device that will broadcast a signal to the projector so
whatever you want to project has to be stored electronically somewhere
otherwise on an opaque projector you just need a piece of paper you draw what
you want on it and you project it onto a wall it is very easy to use and it is
the most simple type this is the most convenient option for artists however it
is not the best digital art projectors are usually much brighter and they will
give you better results another main feature is knowing what size you want
your projector to deliver see if you think about it the further you go away
from the wall the bigger the photo becomes right sadly it's not as simple
as that because if you go too far away from the wall you will lose brightness
and color quality so I suggest you get a tape measure and figure out what sizes
you will need the next thing you need to know is how much space do you have for
it usually projectors will have their own recommended distance to be off a
wall and finally you have brightness so brightness is measured by lumens or
looks lumens means how much light is actually produced from the projector
like how much light comes out of the projector the next thing to worry about
is brightness if you know that you are gonna be working in a bright studio or
outside maybe or if you're working anywhere where there is light and you
can't get it pitch dark then you'll need a very bright projector otherwise you
won't be seeing anything and then you need to know what
resolution is gonna work best for you so even if you think 480p looks fine on
your phone it will not look fine on a projector because 480p on a big massive
wall is gonna be like 100 P on a small phone or something so that's not a very
good idea 720p will look acceptable but I always
recommend to go for 1080p 4k is a very good option but they are extremely
expensive and they usually cost around a thousand so I limited this video to 720p
projectors and 1080p and another thing to worry about is portability so usually
if you're working on mural wall art you're gonna probably be working in
multiple destinations so you need something that is portable that you can
take with you and I know that you artists have lots of equipment so you
can't be carrying around a 10 kilo projector so luckily for you there are
very small projectors that will even fit in your pocket if you want more detailed
information make sure to check out the blog that will be linked in the
description so finally we can begin with the best projectors for artists and for
mural wall art and don't forget to subscribe if you're enjoying the content
coming up in number 5 we have the van kyo leasure 510 for the best project is
out there I would recommend you stick with van kieu van kyo make amazing
projectors and they usually have no cons whatsoever and they have amazing
customer support so back to the projector this is gonna be your best
budget option it's not extremely cheap but go for anything cheaper than this
and you are gonna regret it so this projector has 720p native
resolution and it supports up to 1080p that means if you put 1080p footage into
it it will show you 720 p footage but it will work fine so this projector has
4500 looks which is very good it has a high brightness for this price so it
will work in fairly bright rooms with any problem and it has extremely good
color quality a very common problem with cheap projectors is that they have very
bad colors or they have other annoying problems like a rainbow artifacts and
they usually break very fast but this projector is built extremely well and it
has a very high quality so the lamp of this projector has a 50,000 hour lamp
life so if you use your projector for three hours a day that means in one year
you're gonna use it for 1095 hours so it's gonna take you about 50 years to
kill this lamp so I think it's safe to assume that this may even outlive you so
it's definitely a good future-proof option and it has dual stereo speakers
built in it so you don't even need to worry about the speakers that has
speakers built in it and you can listen to your music while creating your art
this is honestly a very good projector so don't stress about it too much if you
don't have enough of a budget for the others just go for this one the only
downside of this projector is it's 720p so if you're working on extremely large
products and you are working on more than 100 inches of size I recommend you
go for 1080p this projector offers 44 inches to 200 inches of display size at
a distance of between 1.5 meters to 5 meters so it will work fine even if
you're working in a small room as for connectivity it is equipped with two
HDMI one a v1 VGA one USB and an SD card slot and audio out ports the links to
all the projectors in this video are in the description below coming up in
number four we have the apeman and m4 portable this is easily the best
portable projector out there it is extremely small and lightweight it's
probably even smaller than your phone it only weighs 0.14
pounds which is close to quarter of a kilo it's so small yet it delivers
amazing results somehow they managed to crack a 3,400 milliamp per hour battery
in this thing but as you know projectors need to
project extremely bright images so to do that that uses a lot of battery life so
expect between 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours of use on a single charge it may seem like
not much but it's definitely amazing given the size of this thing
and you could always plug it into a wall and users at the same time so what
separates this portable projector from others is it has extremely accurate
colors and it comes with a 45,000 hour lamp life meaning it will probably last
around 40 years easily however I'm unsure if the battery lasts 45 years but
the lamp will and I forgot to mention the most important thing so this comes
with a 480p resolution but it supports up to 1080p footage as bad as 480p
sounds this thing fits in your pocket and you can take it anywhere so it
doesn't really matter too much within a distance of 1 to 4 meters it can achieve
30 to 100 inches so this fact alone is what makes it such a good option for
artists so even if you are working in small spaces or rooms you can still get
a very big image tracing is gonna be no problem but if you need every single
detail in your photos and you're probably gonna want to go for a normal
projector that is 1080p but for small projects this is definitely an amazing
option that you can take everywhere and it uses an HDMI connector so if you are
willing to use it for your phone you were probably gonna have to buy an HDMI
2 phone adapter this thing is honestly awesome like you can use it anywhere so
you will probably be using it everywhere and not just for art but it will be an
amazing tool to add to your arsenal
coming up in number three we have the auto graph LED uz tracer this projector
is as simple as it gets you just have to draw something and then
stick it under the projector and boom it's now projecting on the wall up to
two to ten times larger than it is it's not ideal for very big projects but it
definitely works for small projects you could also use it for big projects but
you're probably going to have to split your project into four and do a quarter
each time so the pros of this tracer is that it is very portable it is extremely
easy and simple to use it enlarges photos from two to ten times and it is a
very good tool for kids so if you have any kids and they like drawing big
pictures and hanging them up on the wall this is definitely a good option for
them and it's pretty good for wall art because you can just draw something on
the paper stick it under it and boom now it's on
the wall now before buying this projects you have to know a few things the light
bulb usually comes broken so you are gonna probably have to buy your own
light bulb if you read its reviews like 9 out of every 10 people get a broken
light bulb but it's not too big of a problem the light bulb is replaceable
just by any light bulb that is bright enough and stick it inside as it's
easily replaceable another common problem is light is not very bright and
it's hard to use it in little places as opaque projectors like this one use
reflection so it shines on the paper then the paper reflects back into the
projector and it projects it onto the wall so it isn't very bright but it
definitely works easily if you use it in the darkroom so this is a great tool for
beginners and for hobbyists it also works out very well if you just want it
for a particular project as it's very cheap
coming up number two we have the van Kyo performance v600 this digital projector
is gonna be your best middle range option the brightness of this thing is
6,000 Lux so that is very bright and it will easily work in a bright room so
it's pretty easy to use in well-lit places and it has a 1080p native display
now the colors the colors are extremely accurate Banqiao are amazing with color
quality their colors are very accurate and as with all van kieu projectors
connectivity is amazing they have all connectivity options they have one AV
port to HDMI ports one USB to one VGA one SD card slot and one audio out so
this allows you to project full HD presentations from laptops smartphones
and streaming devices so you can project your art out of a phone laptop or any
streaming device and trust me I am not sponsored by thank you in any way but
their products excel in every corner they are the kings of any projector on
the $350 and as usual you get 50,000 hours of your amp life and if you are
wondering about display size it displays from 50 inches up to 300 inches in size
this measurement is usually taking in a diagonal line between both opposite
corners of the rectangle so it's not how tall or wide it is it's the diagonal
line so that's pretty massive and it will probably work very well for most
big projects the one in number one is gonna be your best option for working in
the very well-lit areas so coming up in number one is the Bank EO Performance v
630 this is a perfect option for art enthusiasts who want the best options
possible without putting a hole in their budget so the reason this projector is
number one as it has a whopping 6500 Lux I know it's not a very big difference
but if you're working in a very well-lit then it's gonna make the world of a
difference so if you're working very well-lit areas it's gonna be your best
option and it also has a zoom feature so that
is gonna be very useful to so you can make it bigger and smaller without
moving the projector itself so this projector it has 50,000 hours of lamp
life it projects very big sizes up to 300 inches it has all connectivity
options you dream of it has very accurate colors and it is a 1080p
display and it works amazing even in very well-lit places so the main reason
you go for this is if you work in very bright places another cool feature about
this projector is it works at a 45 degree angle off the wall so you don't
have to place it directly in front of the wall you can't place it at an angle
and if you're anything like me and you just hate noise this is gonna be your
best noise free option it uses a very innovative cooling system so that allows
this projector to produce 80 percent less sound than most other projectors
that's a whopping difference and as all Vanko projectors on this video van kieu
provides you with a three month free return and a full refund they also
provide you with a three year free repair and lifelong professional
customer service and technical support and that is where they shine they have
amazing customer support now if you're working on very big projects you may
want to go for a 4k projector because that is gonna give you much more details
but they're very expensive and they probably cost around 1000 so unless you
want to spend 1,000 I recommend you stick with the 1080p ones in this video
so I hope you like this video because I put hours and hours of research to make
sure I find you the best project as possible and don't forget to share this
video with any of your friends that are interested in mural wall art most
