| HD Resolution For Home Theatre Projectors |
Making the choices for your home projector.
You've already made the decision to set-up a in home cinema. You have the room selected to suit your needs and you've chosen on a source for a HD input. Still, it does go through your thoughts on what might be your best option for a home projector. The picks are between a LCD model and a DLP projector, and possibly on how best to position it.
Hopefully this item will give you with a few ideas to assist in your decision.
What defines HD?
In short, 720 pixels PSI is the least resolution to be considered high definition (480 is the number for standard resolution). Projection units (and televisions) that are below that 720p score (but above 480) are best described as "enhanced definition" and should only be thought of as good enough for watching DVDs or standard definition (free to air) TV.
The choices available for a HD type projector would be those that produce 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. The "I" and "p" stand for the scanning system (interlaced or progressive). Progressive scanning is the more developed of the two, so a 720p model would be as good as a 1080i projector.
Home theatre projectre arrangement
You might have already settled on the location to have your projector unit positioned. It might be connected to a wall/ceiling mount, or perhaps set on a coffee table (just bringing it out when you want to utilize it). Now the fun starts in making the improvements so that projected image is properly established with the projector screen.
Keystone correction is typically used to make the improvements for your projector. This function permits your unit to be placed vertically or horizontally off from dead center of the screen. Some models do give automatic keystone correction, but manual might be more to your liking. There is some degrading of the picture at the boundaries in utilizing keystone correction but it's barely noticeable.
If your bank account can handle it, perhaps you should check out a home theatre projector that makes use of lens shift correction. This is a more reliable way of making the alterations for where you establish the projector, and the picture doesn't endure the edge degradation that you may experience with keystone correction.
It is hoped that this information can be of help to you in making your decision on what to seek in a home projector to fit your home cinema requirements.
