Home Theater Projectors

You will want to consider a home theater projector to get the best picture possible, whether you are playing video games or watching HD movies at home. Even though most projectors can handle any type of media, they all have different performances and specifications. Having the right information on hand simplifies the selection process. Before buying a home theater projector, consider the distance between the projector and screen, an estimate of ambient light in the room and screen size.

Short-Throw Projectors Control Pixelation for a Smooth Result

Projections to large screen sizes or over long distances can be difficult to control without short-throw home theater projectors. In most cases, they feature e-shift technology with a multiple pixel image processor that achieves a high-definition 4K image optimal for different screens. These projectors come with optical engines with wire grids that achieve optimum and high native contrast ratios, projecting clear pictures in high definition. Short-throw projectors feature mirrors onto which they first project the image before reflecting it to the screen. These projectors top out at high lumens, providing strong light that enables them to work with small screen sizes. The result is home entertainment that is epic and enjoyable.

Fixed Installation Projectors Work in Large Rooms

Fixed installation Digital Light Processing (DLP) projectors come with a brightness that ranges between 4,500 and 20,000 lumens or more. Installation projectors feature interchangeable-lens systems, making them adaptable in terms of throw distance. They are useful in large rooms for many viewers. Most of these projectors support stacking, meaning you can aggregate output from two or more projectors to increase brightness beyond the maximum specifications for a single projector. They also feature edge blending that increases total resolution, and creates custom aspect ratios.

Home Theater Projectors Are Easy to Maintain

Most wireless LCD projectors come with a range of energy-saving features, plus up to a 10,000-hour lamp with a quick replacement time. Some have a convenient rear lamp access feature that makes routine maintenance quick. Home theater projectors have low-voltage control (LVC) that turns the unit on or off, and triggers the screen to raise or descend or open or close if it has fixed frames with drapes. They feature elaborate cooling systems to achieve quiet operations. These projectors are ideal partners for modern integrated AV/IT environments, expanding connectivity with dual HDMI® ports and Direct USB Display connections. They come with a convenient TV and video input label function that confirms the name of connected devices on screens.

LED Projectors Have Wireless Capability

Whether you need a portable projector or one with wireless capabilities, LED projectors will serve you well. Some of these projectors have wireless video in the form of an optional USB dongle. For full video display, some projectors feature smart Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® options that wirelessly cast smartphone, laptop or PC screens to a big screen. Others come with HDMI transmitter/receiver sets, USB input plug and play and video-audio in/out that support audio and video accessories, making them ideal for a home theater setup.
