This is a simple overview of projectors. Choosing the right projector can be overwhelming. When comparing projectors for a certain area there are several things to keep in mind.

Quality- Several companies produce projectors with good statistics. There is a lot of heat produced in most projectors. If a projector is made with quality components the heat will not be an issue. On the other hand if the projector is made with cheap components the heat will effect the projector over time. This will cause a multitude of problems. Quality projectors are very reasonable now. The projector is the main component in your theater.

Contrast- Is the difference between the brightest white and the darkest black a unit can produce. There is no standard process for measuring contrast. Each manufacturer may measure contrast using different methods. This makes the contrast ratio a poor way to compare brands but, very effective when comparing models of the same brand.

Brightness- Is measured in ANSI lumens. ANSI lumens is a measuring method of the American National Standards Institute IT7.228. Since there is no uniform method of measuring brightness, specifications will vary among manufactures. If your room is completely dark 800 ANSI lumens will be more than enough. If you have light in the area. You will need a brighter projector. There are several screens on the market that help combat light as well. The right combination of screen and projector is crucial for the best experience possible. Remember a projector that is to bright will hurt your eyes over time. An experienced professional should be consulted.
Processor- This is the most important component in the projector. Unfortunately there is no good specification to compare model to model. If you have the opportunity to compare recently calibrated projectors in an equal environment with the same content take it. That is the only way to truly compare the processors. Ghosting, Digitization, Blurring, and many other factors are directly affected by the processor.
Lens System- A quality lens system is very important and often overlooked. Image distortion, such as, Warping, Sizing,and Blurring are directly affected by the lens system. Again ,there is no specification to help you compare models.

An experienced proffessional should be consulted when choosing a projector. Without comparing projectors in an equal environment with identical media you are taking a big gamble. Your new theater will be everyones favorite room. You will get years and years of enjoyment from your theater. It all starts with the proper planning.

The Sony Pro 1 is our most popular projector. It is a very robust unit with a beautiful picture. No ghosting, no digitization, and no blurring just years of enjoyment.

The Sony® VPL-VWPRO1 BRAVIA® SXRD™ 1080p Home Theater Projector delivers an immersive cinematic experience and Full HD 1080p resolution at a great value. Three SXRD micro-display panels work with a specially developed ARC-F (All Range Crisp Focus) lens and BRAVIA Engine™ 2 digital video processor to display stunning, life-like images on a scale no flat panel HDTV can match. A 200W lamp provides startling brightness for enhanced performance in rooms with ambient light from lamps or windows, and Advanced Iris 3 technology delivers dynamic contrast of up to 85,000:1 by automatically optimizing picture brightness on a scene-by-scene basis.
