Home theaters are quickly becoming more and more popular. Many individuals are converting their basements, attics or even their garage into rooms where the family can come together to watch or enjoy movies.
Along with selecting the right projector screen, you will need to choose a good projector to ensure quality imaging. Some things to look for in a video projector include:
- Resolution – You will definitely want to opt for HD resolution as many tv shows and sporting events are now shown in HD.
- Lumens or Brightness – If your home theater is in the basement where it is really dark, you won’t have to worry about selecting a projector with above average lumens. However, if your home theater is in a well-lit area with many windows, you will need to choose a projector with 1500 lumens or more.
- Multimedia Capabilities – Surely you’ll want to connect other devices to your projector such as cable or satellite television, video game consoles and possibly even a computer. Therefore, you’ll want your projector to have at least 2 HDMI ports.
