who makes the best video projector?

Answer 1

If you are looking for a ranking of what is the best: LCD vs. DLP, here's the pros and cons:

1. DLP front projection provides the biggest bang for the buck. The only downside is possible viewer sensitivity to the "rainbow" effect which is greatly lessened with 4X+ [speed] color wheels. If brightness is a major consideration, stay with the older 480i/p configuration since the higher 1040+ Dark 3 chips greatly lower the final lumens output. Also be very careful when shutting down the projector and allow some 20 minutes for the fan to cool down the bulb and associated color wheel. Failure to properly cool down DLP's is the major reason for shortened lamp life. A typical bulb will cost between $300 - $400 and last some 4,000 hours.

2. LCD front projectors have been around for some time and the "screen door" effect has been greatly reduced, if not eliminated. Unfortunately, there's the issue of LCD panel fade since many LCD projectors still rely on 'organic' based panels which will fade over time, especially the blue panel. Look for the new "inorganic" LCD panels to correct this fading issue. Still the "blackness" background of LCD projectors do not come up to the better movie-like blacks generated by DLPs.

And finally, is there truly a best buy budget DLP projector? Check out at Amazon.com, the Infocus SP4805 for some $550 [refurbished] which produces a 350 lumens, 92" diagonal screen picture with the WOW effect. And the world-famous Faroudja deinterlacer and built-in speaker adds true value to this home-theater projector.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Hi. It would be hard to pick one manufacturer's projector as the best because they are all pretty similar in their prospective price range.The most popular brands that people tend to buy are Sony,Sharp,Benq and Mitsubishi but these are by no means all of the best.

You have to decide on what features you want in a projector for your own home theater. The 3 most important features to look for are Brightness,Contrast and Resolution. The higher these figures the better the quality.

Answer 3

Basically you get what you pay for, simply preserve an eye fixed out for selection, bulb existence and bulb substitute bills... bulbs can run as much as 500 US $$ relying at the projector.
