A projector can take your home theater setup to the next level or help you ready your business’s meeting room for work presentations. Wherever you plan on using a new projector, you are probably facing the question of how best to install your device.

While there are projectors that can rest on a table or other surface, many projector designs need to be mounted on a ceiling or a wall. Deciding on the mount to use depends on the size and weight of your projector as well as the surface on which you are mounting it. A projector wall mount will use different hardware from a projector ceiling mount.

Helpful features to consider include those that can make aiming your projector easier. For instance, a projector mount with pitch adjustment or a projector mount with yaw adjustment will give you greater control over the angle of your projected image.

Some projector mounts are specific to certain projector models, which might be the right choice for you. But if you want the possibility of switching out your projector in the future, you could benefit from a universal projector mount.

In all likelihood, you will also want to pair your projector hanger with a wall-mounted projector screen. You should ideally install the projector and screen at the same time so that you can achieve the best angle and distance between the two. Your image quality depends on the right relationship between the screen and the projector mounting bracket.

For increased quality, consider projector accessories, such as projector lenses. You can also take a moment to read up on everything you need to know before buying a projector, which will cover factors like placement and resolution.
