Our Projector Experts hear this question every day.
Let us assure you, in the flat screen vs projector showdown, the
projector wins with a knockout. When you compare a projector and TV with
similar specs, the projector easily provides just as clear and crisp an image as the TV.
However, the projector's image will be double or triple the size, making those lifelike
colors and sharp details even more noticeable.
Imagine the look on your friends' and neighbors' faces when they
see the 120-inch HD display in your living room and learn that it cost half the
price of their 60-inch flat screens. They will be drooling with jealousy when
you take that same image and move it to another room or even outside. As light
as 5 pounds, a home cinema projector is like a movie theater with a handle!
Fear not, today’s home entertainment projectors sporting 3D
start around $500 for 720p resolution, and from $699 for full 1080p with 3D.
Still moving up from entry level needs to get you up to around $900 –
$1000 with popular projectors from BenQ and Epson and Optoma as excellent
examples. Moving to over $2000 to $8000 priced projectors, again
virtually all have 3D, and the 3D projector market is dominated by Epson, Sony,
and JVC Projectors, along with entries from Panasonic, Sharp, and others.
On the business and education side projectors with 3D again
start well under $1000, however, in group settings, such as a classroom, the
cost of 35 pair of active 3D glasses, can really damage the budget, even at $20
and $30 a pair. So far Epson has come up with an interesting solution.
Their W16SK is two projectors stacked together, allowing the use of
passive 3D glasses which are only a couple of dollars each! It’s a
clever approach, worth mentioning when 3D is needed for more that small groups.
You pay more for the two projectors but save a lot more in the long run.
Commercial projectors are available in 3D as well, If you need a
3000, 5000 or 8000 lumen projector that’s 3D capable, there are plenty of
choices, and more coming. Commercial ovie theater projectors I should
note, at least in the US, are dominated by “stacked” projectors – essentially
two in one, so they can use low cost passive 3D glasses.
