I.Purchase Budget

  The first thing is to determine how much you want to spend, which is actually the same as buying other home appliances. As the old saying goes: You wear a hat as big as you have a head. The price of home projectors varies from tens of yuan to hundreds of yuan, or even tens of thousands of yuan, and the performance and image quality of different grades of products are definitely different. Therefore, if you can't determine your budget, there is no way to talk about it. In terms of a room theater demanded by most users in China, it recommends that you generally choose an 3LCD projector within hundreds of yuan, generally not more than 1,000 yuan, of course, if you have a more adequate budget, you can also choose the high-end projector.



II.Projection Distance

  The so-called projection distance refers to the distance between the projector lens and the screen. The projector has not been purchased, so it can only measure the approximate distance from the position where the screen is ready to be installed. For the living room theater, it is to measure the size of the living room, that is, the distance from the TV wall to the opposite wall. As for the screen of the living room theater, it is recommended to choose between 100 inches ~ 120 inches, but the specific size of the choice depends on the measured projection distance. Generally speaking, if the size of the living room is within 4 meters, it is best to choose a 100-inch screen, because there are numbers of brands and models of projectors that can project 100 inches at this projection distance, and you can make a variety of choices.

III.The Usage

  With budget, pitch and screen size, the choice of projectors is further narrowed. At this time, it is important not to be fooled into buying a commercial projector. There are numerous differences between commercial projectors and home projectors, just like buses and trucks, although they can bring large pictures, the two are much different in terms of parameters and specifications, especially in image processing, due to different uses. Commercial projectors focus on brightness, contrast, etc., while home projectors focus on resolution, color, continuous playback time of the lamp, shape design, and professional multimedia ports. All in all, home projectors have more advantages than commercial projectors in terms of video performance.



IV.The Brand

  Since the projector is a precision optical instrument, it recommends that you try to choose regular brand products or an independent factory that has more than 3 years of experience in projection research and development.

V.Brightness & Contrast

  Brightness and contrast are two important factors that reflect the performance of a projector. It suggests: The brightness is within 2000 (this is a standard unit, not the so-called industry lumens) that is enough for ordinary 2D projectors. Nowadays, 3D has become a trend of home projector by more and more consumer that the brightness is slightly higher. However, it is not the higher the brightness, the better. The brightness is too high, not to mention the power consumption, just say that the heat and the life of the machine is a big problem. If the brightness is too high, it will be the same as the LCD TV directly irritating the eyes, and the advantages of the projector's ring protection eyes that can’t be played!



VI.Native Resolution

  The resolution of home projection should be at least 720P or above. The resolution is too low, the picture particles are too large and not delicate enough. If possible, the 1080P is a better choice. If you don't have a lot of high-definition film sources, it's just used to watch general TV movies, just choose 720P. It is noted that it is not recommended to choose a machine below 720P, especially a business projector.

VII.Lens

  The hoisting projector does not need to change the position frequently, and you can choose a fixed focus machine, which can save a lot of costs. If the projector is placed on the table, or the funds are more abundant, you can choose the projector that has the zoom function or supports the lens panning function. It can easily make the projector aligned with the screen. It does not recommend the pursuit of ultra-short throw machines because of the high cost and the lack of picture uniformity.



VII.Real Experience

  Before buying, it is better to go to the brick-mortar shore to experience. Maybe the old saying should be right to see is to believe. So it recommends the projector O2O service which means offline experience and online transaction.
