Unlike a huge flat-screen television, a Home Theater Projector creates a natural look of projected images, pleasant on the eyes of the viewer. There won’t be any glare effect like you are watching through a sheet of glass. A projector is also more affordable than a huge flat-screen television. Moreover, 3D effects from projector images are very convincing. So, projector experience is definitely great for watching movies or your favorite shows. You get really involved in what’s happening on the screen.

The only additional thing it requires is a large screen. While some spend good amount of money on a dedicated screen, others utilize drywall in their home theater space. For your information, projector screens come in different sizes, with surfaces optimized for different projectors and room lighting.

Significant Aspects of a Home Theater Projector

Coming back to home theater projector, many brands in market offer variety of products catering to each price category. It is difficult to rate them based on their brand value. So, presenting you here some important aspects you should consider before choosing the best home theater projector for you.

Light Source

Projectors create light and image separately. While a light source creates the light, it is then focused on an image-creating circuitry/chip. There are different types of projectors depending on the type of light source and the image generating capacity. How much light a projector can create is described in ‘Lumens’. The light sources used in projectors are usually LEDs, Lasers or Ultra High Pressure (UHP) lamps. The light source has a lifespan, typically in thousands of hours. When it fades out, you only have to replace the light source.

Great Picture

Great picture quality is no doubt the foremost criterion when it comes to creating a good home theater atmosphere. Picture quality from a projector depends on many factors like Resolution, Contrast ratio, Brightness and Color. For instance, a 4K resolution picture on a 100-plus inch screen will give you great quality picture and larger than life viewing experience. 4K is over four times the detail of Full HD. Contrast ratio measures the difference between the brightest whites and the darkest blacks a projector can show. So, good contrast is critical for home theater projectors.

Projectors work best in dark or dim light. Therefore, be it daylight or room lights, it is important to reduce or eliminate light in the home theater room. Remember, you cannot turn up a dim projector. In that case, the image becomes smaller. On the other hand, there are also some high-end projectors for outdoor use having high light output. They are for people wanting to enjoy movie nights outside with nature. Spending more on a good projector will generally get you higher quality picture.

Extensive Features

While image quality should not compromise, a home theater projector should not be limited to mount on ceiling or placement on a coffee table. You can consider the ones having lens shift, so they will work well from far more places like behind your seating arrangement. Likewise, projectors have a limited zoom range usually called ‘throw distance,’ where it can work efficiently. It is mentioned in the specifications on the manufacturer’s website. Most modern projectors are user-friendly, coming with HDMI inputs, satellite receivers or cable boxes and video game consoles among others.
