![]() Seriously though, don’t let anyone prevent you from spending some quality time with something you’re about to shell out well over $1,000 on. In fact, you should always do this with any electronic device. My advice to you is that you should never buy a projector that you have not tested beforehand. Horrible, isn’t it? It almost makes the film unwatchable. If you’re curious to see what the rainbow effect looks like, have a look at this video: Most modern projectors have eliminated this issue, but you should be aware that there are still some of them out there that will give you a disappointing experience. Do you notice some colorful artifacts around certain frames? That’s called the “rainbow effect”, and it’s the result of a color wheel that doesn’t spin fast enough. Take a moment to look at a really cheap projector. For that amount of money, I get a 1080p native resolution. The BenQ TH681+ on sale in my country costs roughly $800. I’ll be seeing about 70 percent of my film’s quality (assuming it’s a 1600×1200 “16:10” film). The final image on that projector will be downscaled to nearly 2/3 of the image’s signal resolution. It’s roughly $500, supports a whopping 1600×1200 resolution (great for that price), but it has a native resolution of 1280×800. Take, for example, a BenQ TW523p on sale in my country. The native resolution specification will tell you how many physical pixels the device actually has. ![]() If you want to see what kind of resolution you will actually get from your projector, check out its native resolution. Yes, a projector that is advertised as a “1080p projector” will support a 1080p resolution format signal, but that’s all it means. ![]() Hold your horses! Just because it’s advertised as “full HD” or “1080p” (even “4K” with newer models) doesn’t mean that it will actually show you a clearly high-definition image. “Wow! Check out this 1080p projector! And it’s only $500!” At least 3-4 meters of uninterrupted wall space, andĭoes that sound too inconvenient for you? Perhaps a nice curved TV set might be your kind of deal.Similarly, your “display size” will be limited if you’re trying to use it in a very small room. Sure, you can make a projector display an image on a smaller surface by moving it closer, but the logistics get a little iffy when you consider the fact that sometimes you may have to move it close enough to the wall for the projector to become an obstruction rather than a convenience in your viewing experience. Now, why did I use the word “fit” when talking about something as compact as a projector? I’m glad you asked! DLP projectors require a certain amount of wall or screen space in order to properly project an image. They’re lightweight and unrestricted, sure, but are you certain that once you take the plunge, you won’t regret this decision? DLP projectors are expensive, require equally expensive lamp replacements once in awhile (frequency depends entirely on the projector itself and how you use it), and don’t necessarily “fit” everywhere. Would You Actually Benefit From a DLP System?įirst things first: take some time to actually think about whether you actually want a DLP projector. ![]()
