Best Home theater projector for Movies and Games?
Hi freinds, I am planning to buy the Home theater projector to watch movies and play games in budget $600. I checked in tigerdirect.com & newegg.com & jr.com but i am so confused to choose the best one. Would you please help me to select the good one?
All projectors have pros and cons, so there is no ‘best’ model for everyone. That said, in the $500-$600 range you have very limited choice (basically, used or reconditioned models) for good home theatre projectors (See link for recommended HT projectors — all above your price range — and elsewhere on the site for a buyers guide (2nd link) and projector reviews) since most at that price range are ‘business projectors’ with limited contrast ratio and video processing quality. You want a projector with at least 2000:1 contrast ratio. Brightness isn’t too critical (1000 lumens is enough) unless you plan to use it in a room with lights on/no window shades.
I’m reluctant to suggest specific projectors (since they may or may not be the best choice for you given your (unknown) specific needs), one worth considering, but at about $800 still slightly above your budget level, is the Benq W500 (See review and comparisons and sources at the 3rd link). A very desirable feature for a gamer is the $250 lamp replacement cost … an important factor given the (probable) high usage.
Hope this helps.
