When Buying A Projector Be Sure To Get Right One For The Area Size

Front-projection home theaters offer images that are full of cinematic details and color on a larger-than-life screen that transforms viewing into a rare and novel experience.

Modern projectors incorporate LCD or DLP technology, making the projectors compressed and not too heavy to carry. Front projectors are more reasonably priced than the CRT projectors of past years.

A projector has fewer parts than a television, and all parts are of top quality. A high-resolution image (DLP chip or LCD panels), an ultra-high-intensity lamp, superb scaling and circuitry, superior-grade optics, and an extensive variety of video inputs can generally be found in a projector, but a projector without a built-in screen, or stereo speakers.

Many things need to be considered when opting to set up a high definition projector home theater system.

Ambient light can have a drastic effect on the quality of the viewing experience. For example, if the ambient light levels in the area are high or hard to control, then you will require a HD projector with a lumen rating in the 1500 to 2000 range.

Nothing would be worse than purchasing a HD projector that is either too small or too large for the area it is being used in. To combat this, most retailers will provide a screen size calculator. The effectiveness of this tool is contingent upon the purchaser knowing the distance from the front of the projector to the area being projected upon. This value is also known as the throw distance.

Projectors come in two primary formats, 16:9 or 4:3. A reference to the aspect ratio. 16:9 is the standard for HDTV, while a 4:3 aspect ratio is used for standard television. It is prudent to purchase a projector that is congruent with the signal being projected. However, a 16:9 image projected onto a 4:3 screen results in a very small amount of wasted screen space, optimizing the cinematic experience.

An HD projector is only a projector. A good many systems that you can purchase do not include any kind of sound system. Which means sound from the signal source is going to be directed into a separate sound system.
