Projectors and Contrast Ratio
Projectors?????
OK I'm confused!
I was thinking of buying a projector for games and movies especially when I have friends over. So if I want to use it in a darkish room i.e. in the evenings for games (xbox 360) and movies (not hd or blu-ray) what should I look for e.g. contrast ratio, ldp or lcd, rear or front etc...
Also how much do you have to pay to get a decent projector and will a cheap one do if I don't use it regularly. Also anyone who has a projector how often do you use it.
If you need any more information just ask and i'll add it.
sorry not ldp I meant dlp
things to look for include:
True widescreen resolution, (since most movies are at this scale)
ANSI lumens brightness, (higher is better a low one makes atmospheric movies hard to see e.g avp2 or sin city)
ratio of contrast 1500:1 (at least higher is better again or picture sharpness)
the rest is not as important
I use mines a lot it cost me just under £2000 but no TV can match the gaming aspect (4 player CoD4 is awesome) however a good projector will set you back £600-£1200 usually, HD is a must since it only adds £200-£300 to your price tag but will give you much much more use and longetivity as everything is now coming in HD/Blu Ray also they double up as PC monitors since they have great resolution capability (yes WoW on a 70" monster)
since you are using it infrequently a cheap option may suffice try to get one with the above info, (cheap ones can be £200-£400) just remember cheap ones tend to be cheap for a reason there clarity/brightness is questionable over moderate distance but they should do the job in a dark enough room with clean clear screen.
if you are from UK www.pricerunner.co.uk is a good site (my fav for new purchases) along with the usual ebay, kelkoo etc.
