This is a two-piece system containing a projector and screen. A couple of years ago home theater projectors were heavy, expensive and based on cathode-ray tubes. They also required professional installation and maintenance. However, recently front projection TV’s have slimmed down to compact models that are lightweight digital home theater projectors.
Sizes range between 40” to 300” so they are perfect for avid video watchers and home entertainers. Picture quality has improved tremendously in the last few years so it's easy to choose a big screen TV with excellent clarity.
Front projector TV's will perform best in reduced light or total darkness so consider your lifestyle and the practicality of this choice. Images are bright and bold, however and if you’re looking for a big emotional impact this is the ideal choice.
TV Screen Size
A good rule of thumb is ‘the bigger, the better’ but you obviously need to take into account the size of your room when you choose a big screen TV. If you have lost of space and are setting up a home theater system by all means go for the biggest one that suits your room and budget.
If your TV is just for normal family viewing, again, take into account the room size, available viewing positions and of course your budget but choose a big screen TV you can afford.
Your viewing distance is vital for optimizing your viewing experience. If you sit too close a big screen TV isn’t ideal. If you are aware or distracted by the screen’s pixels (those tiny dots that make up the picture) or horizontal scan lines then you are sitting too close. Moving your seating away will improve your viewing.
