No high-end or dedicated home theater is complete without a video projector. Video projectors are the only way to truly re-create that big-screen experience you get when going to the movies.
There are many different types of front projectors, ranging in price from well under $1,000 to well over six figures. Which one is right for you?
It begins with answering some basic questions about usage scenarios: Do you need a true home theater projector that can reproduce a really deep black level for a dedicated theater room? Or perhaps you need a brighter, more portable home entertainment projector for a living room or den? What's the difference between LCD, DLP, and LCoS projection technologies? Is 4K the way to go?
