Home theatre Projector advice
Home theatre Projector
What brightness level do I require?
Brightness with all digital projectors is universally measured in ANSI Lumens. The brightness level for home theatre projectors ranges from 2000 to 3400 ANSI Lumens. These modern home theatre projectors are powerful enough to handle a little light in the room but unlike their brighter business cousins they are designed to give you accurate colour and deep black levels. They won't be able to handle a massive amount of sunlight but you rarely see someone sitting down to a midday movie with all the curtains open.

How much do I need to know about image quality? [top]
For a dedicated home theatre room, there are 2 main specifications to consider before making your purchase. These are:
Native Resolution
Contrast Ratio

A Native Resolution is essentially a measurement for the number of pixels being projected. Usually this is represented in a number of pixels width to height e.g. 1920 pixels width and 1080 pixels high. Projectors can accept signals higher and lower of the native resolution but will have to convert or compress the signal to display in the native resolution.

The most common resolutions for home theatre are

WXGA - 1280x800 or 1280x720 (High Definition 720p)
WUXGA - 1920x1080 (Full High Definition 1080p)
UHD - 3840x2160 (Ultra High Definition 4K)

The recommended resolution for home theatre applications is WUXGA or UHD (1080p of 4K). The 1080P resolution will result in a widescreen high detailed image perfect for Full HD games and Bluray Movies. With a 4K projector you will be ready for the new 4K disks and gaming consoles out now. For more information on 4K Projectors click the link.

Contrast Ratio is another important specification of a home theatre projector. Contrast defines how far the whitest whites are from the blackest blacks. If the peak white value is significantly different than the peak black value the signal is said to have high contrast resulting in well defined & detailed shading. A contrast of 1000:1 means that the blackest black on the image will be 1000 times blacker than the whitest white.

For a dedicated home theatre projector, that will be used in a darkened room, a high contrast ratio of 10,000:1 or more is best. For data projectors and some multi-use projectors a high contrast is not required as ambient light in the room reduces any ill-effect that a low contrast may cause. If you plan to use your projector mainly in a lit or even semi-lit room, the contrast ratio is not of vital significance.

Should I ceiling mount my projector? [top]
Ceiling mounting is the best way to install a projector. Many projectors will require a projection distance of around 3 metres for a common image size of 100". This means you could pop it onto a coffee table but it is generally neater to have power and HDMI cables hidden in a ceiling space and the projector is safe from being knocked or dropped.


Are There any 3D Projectors? [top]
3D is a new feature on projectors and is available on all home theatre projectors. To get 3D running you will need

  • Active shutter 3D glasses (not the $1 set from the cinema's)
  • A 3D compatible HDMI 1.4 cable
  • 3D Bluray player
  • 3D Bluray movie


What Inputs/Connections should I use?[top]
Most projectors have older connections like VGA, Component and S-video on the back. The best connection to use is HDMI which gives you the sharpest digital image.

What else should I look out for when buying? [top]
There are some cheaper projectors ($300-$500) being advertised by some retailers as being great for home theatre. These offer low resolutions and generally offer extremely poor image quality. At Just Projectors, we have declined offers from our suppliers to sell these "HD compatible" projectors as we feel they simply do not offer the quality that is required for home movies.

There are also more specialised gaming projectors available. For more info on projectors for games and consoles click here.
