It could end up being too large for your space, if too far from the wall or screen the image is on. The further a projector is from a screen, the larger the image is going to be. So what’s so complicated about that? Well, where you place the projector will dramatically affect the image size and shape. Heck, you can even put it on the floor and project onto the ceiling. This can mean setting up the projector on a coffee table, on a shelf, or just on a tripod.

For the most basic setup, you’ll likely need to have space for the projected image much like you’d need to have space for a TV, but that space just needs to be empty, as you won’t actually be putting the projector itself there. You can pretty much put your projector anywhere you want, but you’ll be playing 3D chess with your setup in the process. The setup for most projectors will be more complicated largely because of the flexibility in use and placement. The exception is if you get a TV small enough to fit into a cabinet, in which case it can at least be hidden at certain times. In essence: your TV will have a constant presence in your space whether you’re watching it or not. And, of course, you’ll always have to make sure the new location has space for the TV screen. You’ll have to move furniture, change up the cabling, and might need to take down wall art if it’s going to end up behind the TV. However, once you’ve set up your TV, it can be a considerable undertaking to switch things up. Aside from surround sound satellite speakers, most of the setup can stay together in one spot, and you can hide all the wires simply in a TV stand (or a cabling solution like the Samsung One Connect Box). If you want to wire up speakers or a sound bar, it’s straightforward enough to set up with your TV as a hub for them and perhaps an AV receiver beneath it. ![]() Because that TV isn’t changing size, you don’t have to worry about an adjusting footprint in your living space and how you’re going to accommodate it. Once you’ve got your TV picked out and know how much space you need for it, you can just plop it right in that space, plug it in, and you’re more or less done. There’s elegance in simplicity, and your run-of-the-mill TV setup will be far simpler than most projectors.
