Acoustic Frontiers Has The Expertise To Help You Select The Best Projector For Your Home Theater.
Request A QuoteHome theater projectors create the moving images that are displayed on projection screens.
These days, all home theater projectors are digital and use an imaging chip to modulate the beam from a light source. While there are many different varieties of imaging technology, most home theater projectors use a variant of liquid crystal display (LCD), whereby three chips, one per primary color (i.e., red, green, blue), modulate the white light generated by an ultra-high pressure (UHP) mercury lamp light source. Common variants of LCD are LCOS (JVC) and SXRD (Sony), which incorporate a reflective layer. The leading alternative imaging technology is DLP, or Digital Light Projection, which in general do not offer the contrast performance of LCD.
Alternate light sources - particularly laser - are becoming standard for high-end projectors and offer better image quality, higher energy efficiency, and drastically increased lifespan.
For most home theaters, our recommendation is the Sony VPL-VW915ES at $20,000.
This 2000 lumen laser projector has enough light output to adequately illuminate large acoustically transparent screens together with lens motorization to support 2.4 aspect ratio projection screens. Black levels meet our standards thanks to a combination of laser dimming and a dynamic iris, resulting in blacks which equal the class-leading JVCs. In addition, motion performance, image stability, and intra-scene contrast are superior, which is why this projector gets our recommendation.
For screens wider than 150", with excellent HDR performance, you need more light output than our recommendation above.The 5000 lumen Sony VPL-5000ES, at $60,000, is our choice for most reference class home theaters. It's laser-illuminated, has Sony's top ARC-F lens, meets DCI-P3 color gamut, and is liquid-cooled. Lens quality makes a big difference in image quality, and unfortunately, an awesome lens is only something you get at higher price points.
