What's the Best Projector Frame Rate for 1080P Videos?

août 18, 2020

Due to the advancements in technology, people can now enjoy a movie night with their friends and family at home without having to visit the cinema anymore. This is because they can experience the cinematic environment and the high movie quality using a projector. Projectors are a great example of innovation as they project images for the viewer on the screen in front of it.

Projectors are also quite easy to install at home, and all you have to do is focus on a few factors to ensure you can get the ultimate cinematic experience at home. These factors include the features of the projector, which may affect its viewing quality internally and externally.

Today, we will discuss what the ideal frame support should be for a projector with 1080p. Continue reading on to find what ideal frame support is and why it is important.

Why is Good Frame Rate Important?

If you want to experience the best quality images and videos from your projector, you must understand why a good frame rate is important. However, before we get into the details, we must clarify what frame rate is.

What is Frame Rate?

Frame rate basically refers to the sequence of photos displayed on the screen at a specific rate to portray motion. These images projected are referred to as frames. So, the frame rate is the number of frames displayed accordingly per unit of time.

In short, the frame rate is the number of individual frames or images projected and displayed per second of the film. Other than this, the frame rate also includes additions such as sound, which must be in sync with the frame. The result is the video with sound and motion that you see on television, mobile phones, and projectors. Now let’s discuss why frame rate is important.

Better Slow Motion Video

As we mentioned above, the frame rate is the process of capturing images displayed per unit of time. If you want the best quality in slow motion, you must opt for a higher frame rate as it would help in producing better quality. Most content creators use devices with higher frame rates so they may achieve the quality they want.

For instance, vloggers and YouTubers use higher frame rate cameras to create slow-motion videos or time-lapse footage. They often use slow motion to make their content look more attractive. The slow-mo effect works best when capturing something too fast for regular viewings, such as a flying bird.

Just like this, when it comes to projectors, if you're watching a movie that contains slow-motion clips, you'd need a higher frame rate to enjoy the quality of slow-mo clips. Even filmmakers who use slow motion will always choose cameras with a higher frame rate to get the best quality possible for their content.

Smooth Video Playback

If you want to experience smooth video playback, having a higher frame rate with a high resolution such as 1080 would be sufficient. Of course, even if you use lower frame rates with low resolution, you'll experience smooth video playbacks, but it won't be the same as it is with higher resolution and frame rate.

Eliminate Blurriness

A higher frame rate technically means better framing of the displayed images and sound combination. This means, having a higher frame rate helps in eliminating any blurriness possible. As you might know, when the projected image quality is low, blurriness can become an issue. However, with a good frame rate, you won't experience this problem, especially with a resolution of 1080p.

Types of Frame Rate in Projecting a Video

To understand the frame rate in more detail, we need to look into the types of frame rate used in projecting a video. Here are two main types of frame rates (fps):

24 fps (Frame per Second)

24 fps is a globally accepted frame rate in the film industry. You most certainly can expect to see this in movies as well. You must be wondering why the film industry chose this frame rate instead of the other options available. For the viewers to see motion, no delay in projection or flickering should be present.

Thus, the standard use of 24 fps grew in this industry. Throughout the years, we've seen many improvements, such as in camera technology. But the frame rate remains the same even today. Using higher frame rates is possible, but cinemas still play movies at the standard 24 fps.

60 fps (Frame per Second)

This is higher than the standard 24 fps and is best for high definition and for video projecting with resolutions such as 720p, 1080p, and 8k. However, the frame rate is not actually 60 but is 59.94 for playback smoothness.

So, there is a difference between the 60 fps and 24 fps projection, which is noticeable on screen and images projected during movies.

Types of Frame Rate for Video Games

Of course, the frame rate for video games is different from video projecting. So, we've mentioned the types of frame rate for video games down below.

120 fps (Frame per Second)

You must have a high-end gaming PC set up that comes with a fast GPU and display for using this frame. The display must be able of 144 Hz refresh rates. Of course, this is a frame rate for gamers who take their gaming seriously and want to experience gaming at a whole different level.

240 fps (Frame per Second)

This is the highest frame rate for gaming. You might be thinking, do games really need this much fps? Well, it depends on what the gamer prefers. However, since game developers are introducing games with more intense hardware that come with 3D graphics, a 240 fps would allow the gamer to enjoy the ultimate gaming experience.

In short, 240FPS results in a great user experience. Of course, today, this is the highest frame rate in gaming, but since technology is advancing, we can expect the requirements of playing a particular game will also increase. Thus, we can expect to see higher frame rates in gaming soon.

Effect of Resolution (1080) on Frame Rate

If you're wondering what impact higher resolution has on frame rates, here is a simple explanation. A higher resolution, such as 1080, correlates firmly with a higher frame rate. Many people think having a higher frame rate means the resolution isn't that important as the difference of a higher resolution compared with lowered isn't much when it comes to videos. But, when it comes to gaming, the difference higher resolution creates is huge and quite noticeable.

Thus, in short, a higher resolution and frame rate can affect each other inversely. A higher frame rate could lead to lower resolution because of how much rendering a resolution must be capable of. Lower frame rates ultimately have a better resolution, but of course, this also depends on the use.

Conclusion

We hope now you know more about a projector, its resolution, and frame rate. It is important to understand how a frame rate works and its impact on the resolution of a projector. A higher and lower frame rate can impact the display and quality of a projector used for gaming or movies.

Of course, the frame rate you get depends on the quality you want to experience. People also get higher frame rates along with higher resolution more than 1080p and enjoy it as the difference is quite drastic and enjoyable.

If you're looking to purchase a projector, make sure to find out the resolution, frame rate, etc. You must also understand how external factors such as room brightness could ruin the quality of images projected.
