While the question of replacing your 4K TV with a 4K projector can still be a tough one to tackle, it’s quite clear that projectors have several upsides and downsides to them, chief among them being their size and brightness.
Ambient light, however, remains the biggest hurdle as even some of the very best projectors struggle with tackling outside and invasive sunlight — that’s why we go to the movie theaters in pitch black darkness, after all. But, charged with increased lumens, measured via the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), projectors can literally fight back against ambient lighting, with the benchmark for apt daylight projector use being around 3,000 ANSI lumens and up.
