What keystone correction does
Keystone correction digitally straightens a trapezoid image caused by an angled projector. It is a useful feature, but it uses part of the projector's resolution.
The best practice is to position the projector as level and square as possible, then use keystone only for fine adjustment.
Lens shift is preferable when available, because it moves the image without losing resolution.
Getting a clean rectangle
Level the projector with its adjustable feet or bracket before using keystone.
Adjust horizontal and vertical keystone one axis at a time.
For installations with permanent mounts, document the settings so maintenance teams can restore them.
Installation tips
Use a laser level to align the projector and screen.
Check the image after the projector warms up and after any mount adjustment.
For edge-blended setups, align projectors physically before applying software correction.
Ask DHN about lens shift options for easier installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does keystone correction reduce image quality?
Yes, digital keystone correction slightly reduces the effective resolution. Physical alignment and lens shift are preferred.
Can I use keystone with edge blending?
Yes, but software correction should be minimized by physical alignment for the best blended result.
