Are those home theater projecters any good?

Question

Ive been looking at a Sony 3LCD HD Home Theater Projector but I dont know anybody that has had one of these systems. Are they worth the money or is it better to just go with a LCD television?

Answer 1

The only way to get the theater experience is with a projector.  Sony makes a good one, but I prefer Epson...

It's not a bad idea to pick up an LCD in addition to the projector for watching TV in the daytime... the bulbs in the projectors have a limited lifespan and they are very expensive.  Additionally, if there is too much light in the room, the projected image will be washed out and not look as good.  I have a 40" 1080p LCD for regular TV in the daytime and a 110" 1080p LCD projector that I mostly use for movies and video games.

in any event, it is smart to buy LCOS, LCD, or SXRD instead of DLP.  All single chip DLP projectors have a rainbow wheel that translates into the "rainbow effect" - it hurts my eyes when I look at a DLP image.

Answer 3

They are nowadays. Once , unless you bought a real expensive one, you might have had problems -- particularly with picture quality ( clarity, sharpness, color intensity etc.).

If you stick to solid brand names and pay attention to the specs concerning performance you should do well.

Read some literature on it before you decide.

Google projector tv and see what you get. The model you mentioned will be a good pick. Get a good screen -- don't use the wall.

Be prepared to spend a little more than you would for a plasma or lcd.
