Laser projectors have a life span of 20,000 hours, do not run hot so are less expensive to operate and there is little to no maintenance required. You get a sharper picture and brighter colors that appear brighter than the spec sheet would insinuate. Laser projectors create a supreme quality of focused light as the laser light source is more controllable which results in higher contrast. High resolution Laser projectors offer truer color accuracy along with better brightness uniformity and lower brightness decline over the life of the projector. I personally have always liked the picture quality and brightness of a DLP and highly recommend them and if you are interested in a 4k UHD projector with an exceptional picture quality DLP is an excellent choice. The BenQ HT2050A is a full 1080p for $699 and the BenQ HT3550 4k is a DLP projector for $1699. I personally did not experience this in my DLP TV over the many years I owned it, I only sold it because I bought my Onoayo Projector. DLP projectors can sometimes experience “artifacting” such as a rainbow light trail or after images. DLP projectors have high color accuracy, minimal motion blur at 60 frames per second with millions of tiny mirrors that create a true 1080p “Hollywood Cinema” Experience. The ANSI lumens of a DLP Projector is usually from 2000 to 5000 lumens which is why you get a cinema like experience in your home. The bulb runs hot so the cost of operating a DLP is higher. I did these myself which means there can be maintenance involved with a DLP projector. Over the years I also replaced the fans, the color wheel and a small chip that contained the mirrors. I had owned a Samsung DLP TV for many years and the thing I loved most was every couple of years when I replaced the bulb I had a brand new TV. DLP ProjectorsĭLP Projectors are lamp based projectors known for creating big bold images. When you consider the longevity of the LED technology and the lower maintenance and operating cost of an LED they in my opinion are worth the higher prices, just make sure you are getting one of higher lumens for a sharper and brighter image. BenQ projectors are always among the highest rated projectors and one of their best rated is only $1600 which is not bad when a Hisense LED projector is $3299.00 and a Sony is $6000. When I get into reading the reviews the lowest priced with 2300 ANSI lumens is the BenQ TH690ST which retails for $699. Research has shown that an LED projector’s average cost is between $250 and $500. LED projectors need no warm up and are also quieter and more compact making them easier to place than projectors with bulbs. A real advantage of the LED projector is the fact that the lamp will last as long as or may well outlast the life of the projector. The ability of an LED projector to produce a good bright image is continually advancing. The red, blue and green light combination enables a truer white light and gives the LED projector the ability to create more color saturation than other projectors. Therefore, LED projectors run much cooler, do not collect dust and last much longer, actually about 4 times longer or 20,000 hours for a good LED projector. LED projectors use red, blue and green light emitting diodes as their light source eliminating the need for a halogen bulb. Research has shown that reliability of the LED technology makes LED projectors a worthwhile investment. An LCD projector excels at an extremely high quality image and are the best low cost home theater projectors. LCD projectors have more moving parts and are known to collect dust and will need filter replacement and bulb replacement which is more maintenance. Generally an LCD Projector that is good enough for home use is going to cost between $200 and $500 dollars but can go as high a $1000. I have an Onoayo Projector the ONO1 1080P which cost me $239.00 on sale that we use in our living room to project on a painted white wall from 10 feet away which gives us a 100-inch image of excellent quality in a dark room. LCD Projectors which project a great image both in size and quality and are the best affordable home theater projectors. a 1.13:1 the most common lens will produce a 100-inch image at a distance of 8.2 feet. The lens ratio determines the throw of the projector, in other words the distance from the projector to the screen for the size of the image. Resolution is the number of dots or pixels used to display the projector image, the more pixels the crisper the image. Brightness is measured in ANSI Lumens the higher the number the brighter the projector which determines the screen size and the ability to deal with ambient light. To start, there are three main factors you should consider in choosing a projector, brightness, resolution and lens ratio. When looking at home theater projectors there are some basic needs to look for based on your room, ambient light, and screen size.
