Projectors For Sports Bars: Five Tips

Ask any bar owner, restaurateur or hospitality entrepreneur and he or she will tell you that there are three secrets to running a successful sports bar: serve good beer, good food, and keep the customer entertained.

Sports Bar Projector Tips

Tip One: Turn Off The Lights

In a room with controlled lighting you can safely get away with a 2,000-lumen projector. Brighter spaces will need a projector with at least 3,500 lumens.

Tip Two: Go For HD

Projectors with the HD (1920 x 1080) resolution will give you the best image and the greatest connection flexibility. The XGA (1024 x 768) or Wide XGA (1280 x 800) resolutions are your next best bet.

Tip Three: Stock Up On Replacement Lamps

Projector lamps typically last 2,000 to 4,000 hours. All of our projectors ship with at least one lamp. We recommend stocking up on a few spares so you don’t go dark the day of the big game. Or check out Casio’s lamp-free projectors »

Tip Four: No Smoking

Some projector manufacturers may not honor a warranty in a smoky environment because smoke can do damage to the optic system. The good news is, most customers never have to use their warranty. If you project in a smoky room, give us a call and we’ll iron out the warranty details before your purchase.
