I want to buy a projector for Christmas?
I'm looking for something to put in my living room for the family can watch movies together. I can buy a used on craigslist, but I want to know what to look for (brands, models, minimum specifications should I look for) to my needs: 1. be connected to our satellite (dishes on request) Receptor 2. be connected to a Dvd Player 3. be connected to a laptop (via cable S-Video) 4. The picture quality is very good – I feel like the movies IM! 5. economically I do not want to spend more than ~ $ 400 in the same (number) you want to use: 1. a picture in high definition (or DVD player work with high definition) 2. the image is bright enough to see day, even with the light from the windows
Sorry, but the potential to meet all the criteria of $ 400 are low. First of all … more information and opinions in the links. Now, there are three types of projector that interest you based on the resolution are 480, 720 and 1080 projectors. Prices start again, to about $ 500, $ 1,000 and $ 2,200 respectively. Note note that image quality is determined by the Contrast ratio ("pop" image, color saturation, color accuracy and resolution, in that order … should not be hung in the resolution. It is important hours, the lamps last about 2-3000 (2-4 years depending on usage) and cost $ 300 – $ 500 to replace. For Therefore, a projector used can be a poor bet (if the light is almost gone), particulalry a projector low cost. There are projectors low cost might be tempted to buy ($ 450 – $ 600) for business presentations. They work, but most often not the quality video processing and poorer lower color accuracy. I recommend using a model 720p with a contrast ratio of at least 2000:1, 1000-1200 lumens brightness. Most projectors have a number of data as there are no problems with the connection (and You Can always go through the A / V receiver to switch between input devices (which need all the same for the sound projectors have not (used) pregnant). So in terms of a list of your needs, 1.2, and 3 are easy. 4 is achievable. 5 is a section of 4 if you want and you want # 1. Want # 2 will be impossible to meet the needs of 4 and 5 (projectors work best in a controlled light environment). All that said … The projectors are very good and I have one. Remember that there is little effort in which they were created, and you need the space, BU is the best average for a group of people to enjoy a movie ogether. Finall point: you also need a screen, commercial and cost up to $ 200. Fortunately for you there are many options for a DIY screen (Search AVS Forum part of the DIY screen.) Happy hunting.
