It is advisable to look for a home theater projector in a specialised local store. If there is not one to be found in your area then do a search online to see whatbs available. With the advice you receive on this site, coupled with your own research you should be able to locate the projector which is right for you.

It is always a good idea to be armed with a substantial degree of background knowledge before you set off to make a purchase of any kind. There are several things to consider when purchasing your home theater projector but letbs focus on 3 of the main ones, which are b brightness, aspect ratio and of course, price!

Brightness

Projectors generate brightness measured in lumens and if you are planning your home theater for a room which has several windows and therefore lots of ambient light, you will need to look for a projector capable of generating 2000 lumens which is at the top end of the brightness capability spectrum. For a dedicated home theater viewing room i.e one with very little or zero ambient light, a projector capable of 1000 lumens brightness would be fine. Most models generate 700 to 2000 lumens. This is considered to be the regular range for brightness for home theater projectors.

Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio simply refers to the ratio of width to height of the picture that is being viewed. Home theater projectors can be manufactured to cater for two different aspect ratios. The first ratio is the 16:9 aspect ratio, which is better for watching movies in what is known as letterbox format. The second is the 4:3 aspect ratio, which is designed for watching regular broadcasts. The best one for you simply depends upon what you watch most using your home theater projector. For example, movies on DVD usually look better in a 16:9 widescreen format. If you intend playing a lot of games however,  you may prefer the 4:3 aspect ratio.

Price

You will not get a good quality home theater projector for less than $1500. Top of the range projectors will be priced at $8000 or more. Some good models to consider if you are on a budget are the BENQ PB6100, Mitsubishi HC3 or the Epson Powerlite Home 10. Each of these home theater projectors are a great way for you to start viewing movies and enjoy gaming if you don't have the means to afford a more expensive home theater projector. However, if you have a suitable space and the cash available, the Sanyo PLV-WF10 is hard to beat if you want to experience the quality that larger home theater projectors can deliver.

Make sure to gain as much information as you can before making what will be a fairly substantial purchase. If you do, you will find the home theator projector thatbs right for you and you will have many years of enjoyable viewing ahead.
