thanksIm intrested in buying home theater projector for best picture?
I recommend a Panasonic front projector 3000 model which is 1080P. I own a 2000 model for over a year now and very please with it, projected to an Elite sscreen of 106';. It is one of the top choice in the midrange price on front projectors. Go on line to Home Theater Magazine and read reviews of front projectors which will help you decide which model and price range is for you. The bigger the better.Im intrested in buying home theater projector for best picture?
Here's a quality used Infocus SP4805 which is currently selling for $550:

Good luck!
first do not buy one of those dlp/lcd projectors you see out there for like $500-800. those are designed for presentation use. that is why the lumens output is so high but contrast ratios are low. true home theater projectors have much lower lumens output but much highr contrast ratios.
dlp/lcd projector are smaller, lighter and much easier to set up
crt projecters are much bigger, harder to setup and are prone to burn in.
lcd/dlp projectors have bulbs that will burn out..maybe 2000 to 3500 hours of use. replacement bulbs about $250-350
crt projectors have 3 crt tubes that will degrade as time goes by. replacement cost for a single crt tube is very high.
as for the screen...remeber, the higher gain screen you buy, the narrower your viewing angles become.
draper, dalite make excellent screens in many variaties.
true home theater lcd/dlp projectors can get pricey..$2000 on up is not uncommon.
space..you will need space...100'; screen size will need to have the projector at least 12-13 feet back
motorized screens are expensive
look at lcd/dlp projectors by optoma, infocus, sony, viewsonic and panasonic
if you are more concerned with size of image and you can not get your room totally dark then consider the sub $1000 multimedia projectors. picture quality a bit lower but projector cost about $500-800 and able to use it in a room with ambiant lighting
I'll keep my reply centered on DLP %26amp; LCD projectors.
Here are some of the main numbers you will be looking at for a home theatre projector.
16:9 aspect ratio for the projected image. Try to make sure the unit you go with has this as a native aspect.
720p, 1080i, 1080p: These are high definition produced imagery numbers. the ';p'; and ';i'; stand for the scanning modes. Progressive is more advanced than Interlaced, so a 720p will do as well as a 1080i.
The older model LCDs would suffere from a ';screen-door'; effect for images. This was due to the spacing for the pixels and made images look as if they were being seen thru a screen. The problem has largely been done away with in newer models, but that might make you want to look into a DLP.
Seriously, look at what your budget can afford, while keeping in mind what you want to have for your home theatre.
