Inexpensive Home Projectors
(Page 1 of 4 )
Wouldn't it be cool to be able to watch movies on the side of your house, or play your video games beyond full screen on a full wall or even on your bedroom ceiling? You know that sounds like fun, and you know that you want to do it. That means that you, my cutting edge friend, are in need of a projector. In this article we'll list what you should look for in a quality projector, and hopefully find a few that won't force you to hock your video games to keep up with the payments.
With a projector you can make all of your dreams come true, but having to get a good projector can be a real chore. Sure, you can get yourself a really expensive projector that will guarantee you a crystal clear picture at every size, and credit card debt for the next decade or two of your life.
No, that simply will not do for those of us who live in the real world, and do not have a multi-million dollar corporate budget to back up their technology whims, or needs. You have rent to pay, food to buy and bills piling up on the kitchen table, all of which have to take precedence over getting a really fancy projector. If you choose to go the other way, then you and your fancy projector may find yourself couch hopping until you find yourself a new place of residence, maybe somewhere with room mates.
In order to save you the pain and suffering of borrowing money from your mother-in-law or having a bankruptcy hearing, we are going to look at projectors that are in the price range of an average electronics consumer. For today we are going to draw the line at $1,200 and below.
I know that to most people $1,200 still sounds like a lot of money, but in the world of projectors this is actually a fairly reasonable amount. If that is still out of your price range, then my advice is to wait a year or two. Then the price will go down. Eventually it will be in your price range.
Before we get to the models, we are going to take a look at what indicators of quality we need to be looking at to screen out unworthy models. Just because you are not willing, or able, to shell out $1,000 for a home projector, is no reason for you to end up with a less-than-quality product. After all, it is not like you are shelling out $399 here; to most of us who work for a living, $1,200 is still a lot of money, and you could get yourself some serious swag* with that kind of cash, at least in most sectors of the world of technology.
