  here's the dilema.
  world cup coming up.
  summer days will be longer in june.
  friend of mine has a cool courtyard where friends could gather to watch games.
  the thing is, games will be mostly during the day.
  morning most likely.

  in this day and age, is there a projector that's bright enough for the day time?

  no

  • think about it...you would have to project brighter than the sun shines– monospaced

  there are bright enough projectors to use in daylight time believe it or not, you don't really need to be brighter than the sun, because that is not going to happen, but you will need big lumens, think about over 10k at least. These sort of projectors are usually used at big events and are a bit pricy, but Sanyo just came up with one that might do the trick, at 15k lumens

  Cheaper than the grand lumens Meeklo mentioned

  • this is a great idea actually, as long as light does not directly hit your projection area, you are good– Meeklo

  a cheap tarpaulin for shade and back projection from inside the house?

  you could try a few different screen materials - e.g. shower curtains.

  Totaly we were considering a tarp, but i was still skeptical about the space being dark enough, even with the tarp. Thank you very much Meeklo, at least i now know what to look for on the specs. Tons of Lumens.
