If you didn’t think there was room in your home for a big-screen projector, think again. Smaller-footprint projectors are becoming more and more popular, thanks to their portability, ease of use and ability to project quality images without a dedicated projection screen. Case in point: BenQ’s Joybee GP1 Mini LED projector. It’s not quite a true “pocket” projector, but it only weighs a couple of pounds and after setting it up you can get quality images up to around 80 diagonal images. You can sign… View this story

Runco‘s always been ahead of the game when it comes to projection systems. The company can take a lot of credit with the 2.35 theater trend. Now that this year’s CEDIA Expo is under way, the company is presenting its latest innovative projector—based on LED technology. The “InfiniLight” lampless LED (light-emitting diode) illumination provides the imagery to Runco’s new QuantumColor projectors, Q-750i and Q-750d. Along with the energy-efficiency and long lifespan of the LEDs, color bursts onto the screen with the help of Runco’s new… View this story

It wasn’t too long ago that plasma and LCD TVs were the sexy additions to someone’s home theater.  Projectors, however, are starting to taking over in the world of home theaters. Many consumers are opting for a projection-based home theater or media room because of the value it represents. A quality high-definition projection system can be put together for reasonable money. The most obvious benefit of a projection-based system is the large screen. But there are other factors besides the screen size: Availability of 1080p… View this story

If you’re a home theater aficionado looking for larger-than-life visual experiences, the latest technology and a flexible setup, take a look at SIM2’s new modular projector system. The Grand Cinema C3X Lumis HOST pairs a reference-quality 3-chip DLP projector with a discrete outboard control module/video processor to provide some of the finest blacks and color you will see anywhere—and it better at its $40,000 to $42,000 base price. The C3X Lumis HOST is based on a trio of the DarkChip4 DLP chipsets that yields improved… View this story

Want a projector that will deliver dazzling high-def images until 2064—and never have to replace the lamp? Rather than settle for the 2,000 or so hours of viewing you may get out of today’s projectors before you need a new bulb, you could consider a lamp-free model that uses LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). One of the attractions? A 60,000-hour lifespan with no LED replacement, meaning at a modest estimate of two hours of daily viewing—projectors still aren’t the primary display for most homes—it will last… View this story

French screen manufacturer Screen Research is out with a sweet model it’s dubbed “Supreme 2”—with its supremely easy installation and good looks we can see why. The fixed frame screen is available with Screen Research’s patented THX- and ISF-certified ClearPix2 screen fabrics and the ISF-certified SolidPix fabrics, and you’ll be able to get them in a range of sizes to fill your theater wall. The “supreme” velour finish aids in the projection image’s perceived contrast, really making it pop off the screen, and works with… View this story

Projection systems can turn a media room into a true home theater room, but the two variables often get in the way of our screen dreams—enough space on the wall for a screen, and accommodations for the projector. Premier Mounts is hoping to cut down on dilemmas with the latter of those, with its recently introduced Universal Short-Throw Projector Arm (UNI-STB) providing more flexibility to mounting short-throw projectors. The arm is able to adjust from 7 to 27 inches from the wall with support for… View this story

The French manufacturer has announced its GrayPix Ultra-contrast screen fabric is shipping, so you can have it installed in your dedicated theater room or, the increasingly common multi-purpose media room.
