I see what you mean on that setting that helps too I also use the digital zoom to about 1.2 so it's about 2 feet closer so it makes it a little brighter but I usually have it on Eco mode at 2900 lumens on my projector I believe it's the same on your one were there's Eco mode and to or three other saving bulb modes but I have it on the least bright mode at 2900 lumens and it looks good.I think these chains of projectors on Amazon are good for the price and for how bright they are the Rez is only 800 and 600 but it's great for digital decorating in my opinion.
I have a projector the benq ms24a you no the chaine of 3d projectors on amazon that are only 300$ and was wondering if you had it on eco mode or regular super bright mode like 3300 lumens.
I had it on standard since I wanted the the full 3300 lumens on the pumpkins. Also note, try the higher resolution settings on your projector. The native resolution for my projector was 800x600 but I went higher since I knew the quality and lumens would help with setting the projector further back.
I meant to say I usually have it on Eco mode and regular zoom distance some were in the middle.I usually either use the zoom on Eco mode or just but it on full blast at 3300 lumens if there's a lot of ambient light.
