If you\u2019ve been interested in investing in a home theater projector<\/a>, you\u2019re not alone. Devices in this space have come a long way over the past few years, making them better than ever and more accessible to boot. No longer the clunky, dim models of the past, the latest machines are brighter, sharper, more compact and easier than ever to install. But most importantly, they have much improved image quality now and they can achieve screen sizes that no regular TV could. If you want a true, big-screen viewing experience, a good home theater projector is the best way to get it.<\/p>\n

But the projector space is vast, with dozens of options running from ultra-short-throw to portable to long-throw. There are also a lot of terms to understand, like lens shift, LCD vs. DLP, laser vs. lamp illumination and more. In this buying guide, we\u2019ll help you understand everything you need to know before purchasing the best projector for your needs within your budget, and detail our topic picks across all of the different types of projectors available today.<\/p>\n

The <\/strong>technology: <\/strong>LCD and DLP projectors<\/h2>\n

Here are the basics: Traditional projectors generally use two types of technology, LCD and DLP. They\u2019re fundamentally different systems, with their own advantages and drawbacks.<\/p>\n

The rise of ultra-short-throw projectors and brighter long-throw models, meanwhile, has been powered by falling prices in laser illumination technology. Lasers are a far better solution than lamps, because they\u2019re brighter and last far longer \u2014 up to 30,000 hours instead of 6,000. That\u2019s essentially a lifetime of use (about 10 years).<\/p>\n
