TOP 10 Best Home Theater Projectors To Buy in 2011
What to Know when Buying a Home Theatre Projector
You want the next big thing in home entertainment and you have decided to purchase a home theatre projector. This is a big decision and one in which you need to carefully consider your options before making a decision. After all, using a projector for the purpose of home entertainment is still fairly new and because of this, this type of technology is still pricy.
When deciding on a home theatre projector, you need to do your homework and you need to shop around for the best deal. One of the most important things you check when shopping around for a home theatre projector is the life of the lamp that makes the projector work. These lights do burn out. They can be costly to replace and they can be hard to find. You will want to be sure that the projector you are considering has a lamp that is a reasonable price and is readily available. Having said that, you must be completely prepared to pay a few hundred dollars for a replacement lamp.
This brings up the cost of the home theatre projector itself. The minimum price for this piece of electronic equipment is going to be around $1000 and can get as high as a few thousand dollars. You have to be sure that you can afford what is very obviously a luxury. Sometimes you can get a deal on the previous year's model or you can buy a used one and this will certainly bring the cost down, but you need to be certain that it is in good shape and that the lamp has lots of life left in it, especially if it is used. The last thing you need is to save $200 in buying a used Home theatre projector and then have to spend $500 on a new lamp.
For entertainment savvy individuals, there is probably no question whether or not you wish to purchase a home theater projector. Also remember that you will need to have either a blank wall or a white screen in order to view the projector. The screens themselves usually run in upwards of a few hundred dollars apiece. In addition, the room must be fairly dark without a ton of windows or lighting, or you will never be able to see the images that are being projected.
The advantages of the home theatre projector are numerous. They provide a better, sharper picture with better colour and light intensity. As with any other piece of electronic equipment the price is sure to come down in the future. However, whether you buy one now or wait a while, your biggest decision when you get your new home theatre projector home will be where to put it – on the table, on a shelf, or on the ceiling. Then it will be like having a movie theatre in your own home and that is fantastic, especially if your family likes to watch a lot of movies.
I know how hard it can be to choose the most suitable one for your home, but if you want to bring yourself or your family with a stunning movie experience. You will need to read more home theater projector reviews Here!

About the Author
Keen on exploring new electronics, including home theater projector or even small DVD portable players. I will try to keep updating my reviews towards different electronics, by the way, I am a DJ as well.
What is the best home theater projector available for less than $6000?
I would like the best picture quality available.
There are several projectors available in this ($0 - $6000.00) category. In fact as technology has improved, pictures have gotten better and cost has come down to where most folks can actually afford to enjoy LARGE Screen movies in their own home!
*There are 3 projector technologies that are currently in use in the home entertainment industry: LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), DLP (Digital Light Processing) and LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon.)
***LCD is the most mature of the three types in terms of age and number of units produced. It claims it's roots in the commercial and House of Worship (HoW) arena. Because of this, there are more "high brightness" LCD projectors than any other type. If you're theater is situated in a daylight room with little in the way of light control, LCD may be an excellent choice. Their picture quality has also improved over the years to the point where some brands are considered fairly stiff competition for some of the DLP and LCoS offerings. The best LCD projectors will most certainly look much better than their DLP or LCoS counterparts in this price range if the room's light can not be properly controlled.
Answer a) Ep son's Pro-Cinema series LCD projectors are a favorite in the daylight or medium lit room category and worth a serious LOOK!
**DLP is the technology that Texas Instruments (TI) developed to improve black levels and color accuracy. Over 6000 commercial DLP Cinemas were installed as of 2008 (currently searching for an update to this count) and they hold the lions share of all new Cinema installations world wide due to their VERY HIGH contrast ratio and resolution. The first company to partner with TI and offer a DLP Projector was the Kennesaw, GA manufacturer, ******Digital Projections Inc. (DPI) who is the ONLY projector manufacturer to ever win an EMMY Award for a projector (actually two Emmy's were awarded to DPI in 1998 for Outstanding Achievement in Engineering development.) By the way, DPI offered 18 new 3-D projectors at InfoCom 2010.
Pricing for DPI projectors starts nearer to the $9k mark than $6k but worth a look if you inherit your rich uncle's change purse. Outstanding picture quality! State of the Art. If you can afford it, DPI is the 800lb Gorilla in the room of DLP Projection!
Answer b) Digital Projection's DLP projectors - Worth a Really $erious LOOK if you can afford it!
*****Mitsubishi may be the best known and most sought after manufacturer of DLP TVs and projectors. They offer both front projection (on the ceiling) and rear projection (table top TVs.) Their table top line has recently become VERY, VERY popular due to their outstanding picture quality, *3-D capability (since 2007!) and size vs. price. If 82" is large enough for your Home Theater or Family Room (and that IS really pretty BIG!) then you should consider these products. No "DARK ROOM" needed.
Although some of them ARE wall mountable, they may be a little too deep for some folks taste. That being said, we've seen many of them mounted in built-in "cabinet nooks" and above fireplaces and their very thin bezel looks fantastic when installed this way. The Mitsubishi front projectors have been very highly reviewed in the trade and on-line review magazines and have fantastic pictures. These projectors and TVs will easily fit within your requested price cap with room to spare for all the add-ons you will probably need to finish off your new Man (or Woman)-Cave.
A word about 3-D: *3-D is really cool but if 3-Dimensional movies really are YOUR thing, make sure your TV or projection screen is plenty Big enough. Anything smaller than (approx) 72" diagonal is going to leave most of you wanting more. If you don't believe me, take a look at the closest Big Box Store that demonstrates 3-D. There's nothing worse than a 3-D animated graphic or effect that becomes 2-D at the edges because your "Field of View" is larger than the screen! YUK! You either need to scoot up really close (for 50"-65" sets) or be sure that the screen you purchase is taller than your *3-D glasses lens (field of view) so you can sit in your favorite chair 10-12 feet away.
Answer c) Mitsubishi Table Top DLP TVs - If 82" is big enough and you don't have to hang it on the wall, these TVs are outstanding in any light condition and the Price is Right. They have several 3-D models. They are worth a Serious LOOK!
Answer d) Mistubishi's front projectors (either series) are a great value for light controlled rooms with fantastic color pallet and contrast ratio. Better than most LCD given you have some sort of light control. Dark Room is BEST! Worth a LOOK!
You may want to consider the Optoma brand as well if front projection DLP is what you need. They have been coming on strong for the last couple of years and have proven to be incredibly competitive to Mitsubishi! Very quiet and easy to place in an odd shaped room with lens shift features.
Answer e) Optoma projectors - The higher end of the Op
