Home theater used to be reserved for the rich and famous, but technology has evolved and prices have dropped to the point where true home theater is now achievable for the masses. In fact once you get a home audio system in place and add a 1080p projector you will never want to set foot in the local cinema again.
Today's 1080p projector is seeing continued technological improvements. If you think of projectors in terms of what you see projected on the wall at a business meeting or at your local church service, you are in for a pleasant surprise. A home HD projector properly connected to a high definition source such as HDTV or particularly blu-ray produces a stunning image.
So if you are ready to take your home theater to the next level consider checking out the following popular 1080p projectors:
1. Epson Home Cinema 1080UB - What sets the Epson apart from those in its class is the deep, dark blacks that it is able to achieve, thus the UB for Ultra Black. The 1080UB has an excellent sharp picture, vivid colors and has many flexible placement options due to its strong zoom and lens shift capabilities. The Epson may not be the most "film like" projector out there, but it is a natural choice for those who want to use the projector for viewing HD sports as well as for movies.
2. BenQ W5000 - For those who prefer a DLP projector over an LCD, the W5000 is certainly worthy of consideration. DLP projectors are known for smooth images, strong brightness levels and deep blacks. The W5000 does not disappoint in these areas. While technology has limited the problem over the years, it is still important to be aware of the potential for the rainbow effect that some people have with DLP technology.
3. Panasonic PT-AE2000 - If you are looking for an all around performer the AE2000 may be the choice for you. It offers an incredibly smooth picture with no visible pixel structure, even when viewed up close. It has a very film like image making it an ideal choice for movie lovers, but also is bright enough for HDTV and gaming and has flexible placement options making it suitable for many locations.
4. Mitsubishi HC5500 - This 1080p projector is another popular home HD projector capable of producing an excellent picture on the big screen. It has a sharp image, good color and above average brightness. Its expected lamp life is longer then the competition which figures into the overall value of the projector. Keep in mind that the HC5500 is a bit more limited then some in terms of placement due to a less powerful zoom and limited lens shift.
Each of these fine 1080p projectors would be a fine addition to your home theater. A home theater with one of these home HD projectors will be sure to amaze your family and friends. Just be prepared to be asked to host more movie nights and football parties because of your home theater setup.
