TV vs. Projector

Media rooms rely on one thing—a good picture. Today, Tha Media Room investigates the differences between installing the latest flat screen or a projector.

When it comes to size, projectors clearly have the advantage. Your average LCD or Plasma TV screen can run up to 72 inches, but a drop-down projector screen can measure up to 300 inches diagonally. However, as with any supersized material, pixilation can become an issue if the image quality isn’t great enough. Home-use projectors, designated for video playback, are geared to counter this.

One thing to keep in mind when deciding between a projector and television is the projector bulb life. They can last anywhere up to 5,000 viewing hours and are replaceable for around $300-$500. They can also be replaced as often as needed. If you’re considering installing a dedicated home theater room, or already have one, a projector can accomplish a bigger display output and best value per viewing inch.

Another factor to consider is placement. TV screens can be mounted almost anywhere or even simply set on a surface. Projects are heavier and will require a bit more effort and expense should you wish to mount it on the ceiling. But they can be placed on a table top or a stand as an alternative.

The bottom line? Take a poll on how often you use your media room and what your activity of chose is, whether it’s gaming, TV watching or movie playback. The more you frequent your room and the more online and antenna use you incur might signify that an LCD or Plasma screen is the right choice for you. Avid movie buffs, home critics and sole-purpose media rooms will benefit more from large-screen projectors. Either way you go, give Tha Media Room a call and put your technology into action!
