Theater Front Projectors
Are Affordable At Last!
Has there ever been a MORE EXCITING time to begin building a home theater on a budget? Let's say you've got a hypothetical $3500 burning a hole in your pocket for buying a new BIG SCREEN HDTV.
You COULD be the proud owner of Mitsubishi's top-of-the-line 73.iNCH.TV - their beautiful Diamond Series 1080p 120Hz DLP rear projection television.
OR, you could instead think MUCH BIGGER and design a dedicated front projector based home theater room around any of FIVE 1080p LCD home theater projectors each priced under $3500 [The very CHEAPEST 1080p projector on the market can be purchased for less than half that price!] -- to project a HUGE diagonal screen size of 100, 150, 200 inches, even LARGER!
For maximum contrast and image
detail from 1080p home theater projectors, you need to install your projector
home theater system in a dark room with minimal extraneous lighting from
windows, indoor lighting and reflections, and other ambient light sources.
You'll only get the best picture performance from your 1080p front projector
when installed in a dark, light-controlled home theater room.
1080p Sources What's more, you can now get at least some 1080p high definition video content via:
Home Theater Most projector home theater systems use a home theater
receiver to perform all of the A/V source switching and power the surround sound speaker system.
To get the maximum performance from and protection for each of your home theater
components, be sure to connect everything properly using quality cables and surge protectors. |
Furniture - a typical
finished home theater room also requires home theater furniture such as an A/V component rack, speaker stands / mounts, comfortable seating, and projector ceiling mounting hardware.
DON'T FORGET
A BIG SCREEN!
Maintenance (Costs) You will need to periodically replace your projector's lamp
and air filter. If you can afford it, you may want to keep one or more replacement projector lamps on hand just like you purchase spare light bulbs.
Projector Comparison Shopping Tips A great way to begin comparison shopping the best 1080p projectors is to read some home theater projector reviews. Many of the
leading online electronics stores allow consumers to rate home theater projectors, typically on a scale of 1-5, for features/specs, quality, compatibility, and/or cost-benefit. Be sure to add your personal home theater projector review online once you've got your
projector home theater system all up and running to share your personal experiences with other home theater enthusiasts!
If excessive lighting may be a problem, a few key specifications to compare when shopping for your projector are ANSI lumens (which measure a projector's light output) and contrast ratio (the difference between the whitest whites and blackest blacks) -- the higher numbers are better for both specs.
For projector screens, you can look for higher gain ratings (not too high!), and higher contrast grayish / blackish screen material.
