PROJECTORS
At the heart of most home cinema installations is a great projector. Some still think of projectors as those nasty little headache inducing ones you might find in a corporate training room. A home cinema projector is something quite different. They offer beautiful large images and depending on the model and screen chosen need not necessarily be used in complete darkness. A projector can be ceiling or table mounted and for the ultimate installation can be installed in a ceiling drop. Projectors use either one chip and a colour wheel or three chips to produce the image. The colour wheel can be detected by a small number of people so it is worth auditioning a projector before you purchase. We will advise on the best projector for your needs but some of our favourites are as follows:
JVC
JVCs uses its proprietary DILA projection technology in a range of projectors with some of the best blacks and contrasts on the market. With a full 1080p HD resolution and a three chip design the images are pin sharp.
The HD990 is an amazing projector with incredible blacks and contrast. This is a match for projectors from other manufacturers that cost at least twice the amount.
The HD950 is a good overall performer and even the lower models such as the HD750, and HD550 have won mutiple awards.
Sim 2
Italian styling coupled in some cases with Ferrari paint colours there is no mistaking a Sim 2 projector. Sim 2 offer a full range of DLP projectors. Most notable amongst these is the C3X1080 the worlds smallest full 1080p 3 chip DLP projector. It is bright too allowing it to be used in rooms that are not completely dark.
Sim 2 also make a range of full widescreen lenses to suit a number of their projectors. This provides a full widescreen cinema experience.
Runco
Runco really is the Rolls Royce of the projector world. They offer projectors which can deliver the most stunning bright images in full widescreen if required. Exceptional video processing means they can make the most of standard and high definition images.
These brands provide a projector just about every scenario.
