4. Power on the projector and run initial alignment. Use the built-in lens shift and focus adjustments (if available) to center the image on the screen. Configure the throw distance to achieve the desired image size while preserving the 16:10 aspect ratio.
5. Set up image processing preferences, including HDR color handling and 4K input compatibility. Enable 3D synchronization if you plan to use 3D content, and adjust keystone correction, brightness, contrast, and color balance to suit the room lighting and wall color.
6. Test with a variety of content to verify sharpness, color accuracy, and brightness across the screen. Confirm that the projector remains securely mounted and that all cables are neatly managed for a clean installation. If you plan 24/7 operation, implement any wake-on-source or auto-off routines per your organization’s policies.
