AtmosFX Witching Hour Digital Decoration

Product Information

Another term that you may run into when projector shopping is “throw distance.” This is very important for home decorators, who may have a very specific idea of where to set up their projector. With the incredible rise in popularity of HD video, lots of people are interested in getting a projector with the highest resolution possible. But what is display resolution, anyway?

Don’t blink! Under the ominous gaze of some very observant eyes, this decoration collection will prompt neighbors and visitors to wonder, “is someone watching us – or some...thing?” Indeed, something is: eight different eyeball types, including monster, alien and humanoid eyes. Plus, variations featuring a disquieting array of multiple eyes and terrifying teeth. Project on windows, walls, Hollusion Projection Material and the AtmosFX Decorating Disc XL, or create an unforgettable prop with a tablet or TV. No matter how you display Eerie Eyes, no one will be able to look away! Buy More, Save More! To learn a bit more about projector brightness and how to measure it, ;please visit our Help Center article " What are "lumens" and how do they measure brightness?" How Long is the Lamp Life?The first question to consider is how you will play the decorations, but we'll also consider topics like resolution, brightness, projection size, and audio options. Neighbors and friends will not believe their eyes when ghosts materialize from thin air or Santa Claus, after nibbling a cookie, vanishes from your living room. This innovative material appears invisible in low light, creating stunning hologram-like illusions for celebrations year round. So why does a higher lumen count matter? It can help ensure the detail of your projection will be seen, especially when projecting images across long distances or when there’s competing ambient light. Essentially, it gives you more versatility; you’ll be able to use your projector in a variety of locations, light or dark, and successfully project onto both large or small areas. For example, many budget projector brands will use a “marketing lumens” measurement, based on an unscientific estimate of brightness. Sometimes, you will see something called ANSI lumens. This is a unit defined by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), that measures the overall amount of light output by a projector and usually requires the projector be officially tested to use this rating.

The portable ViewSonic M1+ projector that comes in the AtmosKIT Plus Halloween, AtmosKIT Plus All-Season, and the AtmosKIT Plus Christmas is a 300 LED lumens projector. Features Display Modes for Windows, 3DFX Forms, Decorating Discs, Hollusions, Walls, and TV/MonitorsIf you have an older projector that only features standard definition connections, you still have many options. The chart below explains some of the most common video cables used in the home today. You can use the HDMI input to connect a video device like the Sprite Media Player to play the decorations. Many laptop computers today also have an HDMI video option, or you might need an accessory cable to make the connection. If you need to shop for a different video player option, just be sure the device can play .MP4 files, has a loop/repeat function, and features a video output option that matches your projector. If you're shopping for projectors online, buyer beware! Quite a few budget projectors on the market today describe themselves as being HD projectors because they can play HD video files. However, just because they accept HD quality videos, doesn’t mean you get an HD quality projected image. Look for the “Native Resolution” information in the projector’s description. If the second number in the resolution is any lower than 720, the projector is not HD.

LED lumens are a more accurate measurement because of the LED light source. Despite the numbers being so different from the typical “marketing” lumens measurement, the projector can be as bright or often brighter than budget projectors that claim to have 5000-8000 lumens.
