Why a Projector is Still the Best Option for Your Home Theater

Choose from a Wide Range of High-End 4K Home Theater Projectors 

New advances in video display technology have made high-end flatscreens a much more common solution for home theater systems. As flatscreens increase in size, they're becoming a tempting option since they often offer greater brightness and color depth compared to a projector. However, despite this growing competition, we don't expect projector-and-screen combinations to disappear from our luxury installations in Passaic, NJ. 

Read on to find out why high-end 4K video projectors are still our go-to when it comes to dedicated home theaters.

Size 

Flatscreens are now available in models over 85 inches, but the cost is still prohibitive if you don’t want to sacrifice on quality. Through a projector-and-screen combination, the only limits to your display size have to do with the room dimensions themselves. Scaling up in size won’t significantly affect your budget. Our team of experts will help you find the ideal size for your display to ensure everyone in your theater has a great viewing experience. 

Versatility 

One issue with flatscreens—especially in multi-purpose environments—is their rigidity. Although there are unique ways to obscure your TV when not in use—art frames, niches in the ceiling, etc.-it's much easier to lower and raise a motorized screen. Meanwhile, ultra-short throw projectors stay camouflaged in media cabinets near your screen. Beyond aesthetics, projectors let you easily adjust the screen to meet your content needs. For example, change the display size or image ratio depending on what you're watching at the press of a button while avoiding unseemly black bars on the edge of your screen. 

Comfort 

As we mentioned, many projectors can now compete with flatscreens when it comes to brightness, with both Barco and Sony offering ultra-bright options at over 5,000 lumens. There's one main difference. The light generated by flatscreens hits you directly. With a projector, the light bounces off your dedicated theater screen before getting to you. This creates an important buffer when you're watching a large screen. A flatscreen in a dark, dedicated theater is more likely to strain your eyes during long viewing sessions than a projector. 

Acoustics 

One of the reasons we work with 4K projectors doesn’t even have to do with image quality. Projector-and-screen installations also provide a better surround sound experience. The center channel in your speaker layout deals with dialogue and sound coming directly from the characters. That's why in a dream scenario, you'd want the speaker placed directly behind the screen. This is not an option with flatscreens. Instead, pair your 4K projector with an acoustically transparent screen and install speakers directly behind your display for truly immersive sound.
