Home Theater Projectors - The True Home-Theater Experience at an Affordable Price
With home theater projectors, setting up your very own little cinema has become very easy and convenient. There are lots of models to choose from, and they vary in both cost and capabilities. Most of them can take inputs from both your PC and other video sources, such as a DVD player or a game console. However, most of them are either optimized for computer use or for home theater; very few models are good at both. To make sure you decide on the best projector for your needs, there are a few things you should bear in mind.
The first one is resolution. Most common home theater projects have a resolution of 720p or 1080p. The higher the resolution, the more pixels are displayed, which makes the image clearer. High resolutions also work on HD sources, such as Blu-rays, Sky HD and PS3. There are still some projectors with a resolution of 480p. However, at least 720p are required for a home theater projectors. These are still very inexpensive, and 480p projectors have become very rare. Picture quality also depends on what you are watching. A low signal in your projector will produce lower quality, particularly if you have a large screen.
The contrast ratio is also essential. This ratio expresses the difference between white and black parts within the picture. For instance, a ratio of 1000:1 signifies that the darkest black is 1000 times darker than the brightest white. Projectors with a substantial difference between the brightest white and the deepest black provide clearer images. One may ask why should there be any brightness at all in black. That's because all projectors have what is named brightness leakage. More complex projectors have a lower leakage and therefore the contrast ratio is better. The newest models have a contrast ratio of up to 200,000:1, which means they can display really deep black.
Another thing you should look at is brightness. Home theater projectors' brightness varies between 1000 and 2500 lumens. Choosing the proper brightness also depends on how much you can reduce ambient light that hits the screen. If you know you are not going to use blinds or something else to reduce the degree of light coming from outside, you should look at higher lumen projectors. For low ambient light environments, projector brightness should be somwhere between 1200 and 1600. If you have controlled lighting, anything above 1000 lumens is good enough.
The two types of home theater projectors that you can buy DLP (digital light processing) and LCD (liquid crystal display). While there have been long debates about which of them is better, they have both significantly evolved along the years and the gap between them is now rather low. LCD projectors produced by famous manufacturers such as Hitachi, Epson and Sanyo have the advantage of being more affordable.
Apart from the projector itself, you also need a projector screen. When shopping for one, remember that the screen's aspect ratio must fit the one of the projector. An aspect ratio of 16:9 for both the projector and the screen is a common choice among home theater users. You also need to arrange for sound sources in case the projector does not have built-in speakers. Sound systems can range from mere stereo amplifiers to multi-channel audio-video receivers.

Should I connect my DVD, SAT decoder, VCR, XBox to my suround sound system or to my Widescreen Projector ?
I have a 52" widescreen projector (Hitachi) with many inputs available. I just bought the sound system and was wondering if I should connect my DVD, XBOX and others to the TV or to the Sound system (Pionner).
Connect everything to the sound system. It's also very likely that some of the components like the DVD will have more then one output source for audio/video which means you can connect it to both the sound system and TV (which is what I do). This allows you o watch DVDs without having to turn on the Sound system if you want to.

Do not buy home projectors are low-end business machines - projector procurement, office equipment - office supplies industry
As people continue to improve the quality of life, consumers began to purchase their own home theater. And
Projector With the digital age has the approximation, is quietly changing the minds of consumers, "the projector for business" of the view, as the pursuit of the big picture, the pursuit of life quality, an essential component.
There is a need there is supply, the market is like that. To this end, for all major manufacturers have introduced products for the home of the projection. Among them, most manufacturers are doing real technology, doing product to meet consumer demand for home projectors; In contrast, some manufacturers would not be as "authentic", and their propaganda, the name of low-cost banner (only a few thousand dollars, is the real home projector or even a fraction of the price of one dozen), the low-end business machines "packaging" into a home projector. The projector for home consumers lack sufficient knowledge of their easily deceived.
Basic difference between home and business
Any product is a "threshold", the home projector too. Home theater projector, also known as overhead projectors, and projectors for business meetings is quite different. In short, the parameters of the home and business projector projector most essential difference is: business projector with high brightness, low contrast; home projector on the contrary, does not require high brightness and contrast are very demanding.
From the actual situation, business projector is mainly to commercial information (mainly static text and graphics
File ) Clearly demonstrated, so do not ask for a sense of the level of the screen, the contrast of a few hundred more than a sufficient, but the office environment is generally more playing bright, relatively strong external light interference, requiring high-brightness projector to be up in order to obtain a better projection.
In home use, the projector's main use is for movies, family enjoy DV video clips. Business machine is a simple projection technology to display larger, but fewer layers to display images, color distortion and other shortcomings, will make the video playback distortion, not to the user in the home theater feel. The console in the Display Screen, color display of power and penetrating picture of their display of fine effects such as the commercial machines are unmatched, and its true colors, layering is good, can bring a better image results.
low cost, to meet the real needs of the family projection is the last word
Here we get a good home projector performance to an example: Samsung's full HD SP-A800B (SP-A800B quotes, parameters, images, music group) home projector with 1000 lumens brightness and a nominal 10000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and are equipped with DynamicBlack (Dynamic Black) technology, 24 real movie mode, and has been "global AV Godfather" reputation of the American image color management consultant, Mr. JoeKane personal adjustment, whether the reduction degree of color or saturation, its performance capabilities is absolutely outstanding, the picture layering is also abundant. It can be seen, home projector and adjust the technical features such as the family needs are the starting point, the pursuit of home projectors is the realistic feeling of the scene, and the visual shock of the big screen, giving users a site visit as feeling. The commercial aircraft, especially low-end commercial machines are more in the premise of low cost to meet the basic needs of the main commercial projection, the extent of its delicate screen projector can not be comparable with the home. If the conditions, you can also use is a commercial machine and home machine playing the same movie, then the difference between the two can be more intuitive and clear presentation in your eyes.
To remind everyone to note that the process of using the projector in the family, because families can be better to block the interference of external light, so the demand for the brightness of the projector will not be too high, generally in the 800-1000 lm for the best, or likely to cause eyestrain brightness is too high, and even affect the vision. The commercial aircraft in 1500-3000 lumens of brightness between the brightness becomes too high.
It is because of office environment and the needs of different family environment, making home and business projectors contrast and brightness in inverse proportion to the situation. High brightness, and contrast on the low-level sense he sent for business; high contrast and brightness on the lower screen soft and true, for home. Therefore, the use commercial aircraft to home is not suitable, or there will not be commercial, home of the points.
In addition, in appearance, the business machines and home projectors are also very different. As the emphasis on commercial aircraft business, education, and therefore design acceptable, mostly rectangular. But for a home projector, the appearance is one of its major selling points. Like Samsung, Sharp, Sony, Epson and other manufacturers introduced line of home projectors, above all in the design under the foot work, and fully take into account the needs of beautiful home decorative products are elegant and stylish appearance. Devaluation in the country this year, Samsung SP-A400B, in appearance design is very unique, also has a personality full of dolphin shape, its streamlined body, Guanghua round the body, together with the black piano paint, elegant feeling fully shown exhaustive.
