When it comes to home entertainment, the home projector is the new wave. Gone are when you needed a TV set and an expensive cable package to watch your favourite shows and movies. Now, you can stream almost any show on demand with a projector and a quality internet connection. That’s not even considering all the other things you can do with projectors (like playing video games). But with so many different types of projectors out there—and so many factors to consider when choosing one—it can be hard to know where to start. To help guide your search for the perfect home projector for your needs, we’ve put together this handy guide!
What are your needs and wants for a projector?
- What kind of content are you planning to watch on the projector? Do you want to use it for watching movies and TV, or are you more interested in using it for business presentations?
- How much space do you have available for projection? In other words, what screen size will be appropriate for your needs and setup? If someone is going to be sitting up close, then 16:9 may not work as well as 4:3 (square).
- What’s your budget? While some projectors can get expensive, many under $1,000 would suit most needs.
- How portable do you need this projector to be? Most projectors come with carrying cases or bags so they can be easily transported from one place to another, but some are much more portable than others. How much do you care about image quality? Projectors can range from $100 models that are essentially toys to $10,000+ professional-grade projectors with extremely high resolution and contrast ratios.
How much money are you willing to spend on a projector?
The price range for a home projector ranges from $500 to more than $25,000. What are the most important features to you? How much do you want to spend, and can you get by with a cheaper model? Can you afford a more expensive model?
For example, if the resolution is your top priority and price is not an issue, it would be worth considering a 4K projector. However, if other features matter more to you or cost is an issue, consider one of our lower-priced models where the resolution will be less critical or even non-existent (for example: watching movies on your phone).
What is the size of the space where you will often use the projector (e.g., living room, home theater)?
The size of the space where you will often use the projector (e.g., living room, home theater) will determine what projector you need. The size of the room will also determine how far away from the screen you can sit. For example, suppose your living room is large enough to accommodate a 100-inch diagonal image. In that case, it’s possible that sitting nearly ten feet back from that screen would be uncomfortable for most viewers.
Another thing to consider when choosing a home projector is whether or not you have other people in your household who don’t want to watch movies in 3D all around them but instead want something more traditional where no glasses are needed! This can make things tricky since many projectors only support 2D or 3D formats. In contrast, others may offer both—but they come with high price tags ranging upwards into the $20k+ range (not including any accessories such as lenses).
What content do you want to watch on the projector (movies, TV shows, sports, video games)?
When picking the right projector, you should consider how much and what kind of content you want to watch. This will help narrow down the list of projectors worth your time. For example, if you want to watch movies or TV shows, a projector with a better contrast ratio will be ideal for viewing those types of content. If sports is more your style and in mind, then a higher resolution may be necessary for better visuals.
If gaming is going to be part of your home theater setup (and I know it often is), then make sure the projector has low input lag and good colour accuracy and brightness levels so that games look as good as possible when played on its display.
Do you need a projector with built-in speakers or an external speaker system?
A projector with built-in speakers is almost always more convenient and portable. Because most projectors are much larger than the devices used to play audio files, finding a location where external speakers won’t get in the way of something else can be difficult. Built-in speakers are ideal for watching movies or playing games from your laptop, especially if those files are going to be played through a wireless connection and don’t need any extra power for volume or sound quality.
External speaker systems do provide more outstanding sound quality than their built-in counterparts. Still, they require additional setup—typically either mounted on or behind the screen—and are usually bulkier and heavier. The higher price point reflects these drawbacks as well; At the same time, many people choose not to spend an additional $100-$200 on external speakers when buying their first projector (or even second); others feel that it adds value to their overall viewing experience by allowing them to hear what they’ve been missing all along: crystal clear dialogue and total musical scores without having their neighbours call them “Loudmouths.”
Is portability important to you, or will the projector stay in one place most of the time?
If portability is essential, you’ll want to look for a light and compact projector. This will make moving around and carrying with you easier when necessary. If this sounds like a feature that would be useful to you, be sure to check the weight of each projector before picking one out.
If portability isn’t as much of a concern for you, then a large tabletop model will probably work best for your needs. These models typically come with built-in speakers, so they don’t require extra setup or equipment when used at home or in an office setting.
