LCD Projectors
Eric Morris

Defined Tag:
<P><BR>LCD projectors are the modern equivalent of the slide and overhead projector. LCD projectors use a small and usually colored LCD panel placed before a bright lamp, with the images on the screen provided by sources such as a DVD, VCR or a computer. LCD projectors are generally smaller in size and more easily transportable than former systems. Armed with a lens capable of projecting the images on any surface with a flat plane and not requiring supporting furniture like a big-sized television would, LCD projectors are getting increasingly viable with each passing day.</P>
<P>There are certain things to take into account when purchasing an LCD projector. The projector's resolution generally determines the price; the higher the resolution, the greater the price. If the need is for minute details to be precisely displayed, then higher resolution projectors are the way to go. The LCD projector's light output depends on the lumens rating, i.e. the higher the lumens rating the brighter the light output. For classrooms, projectors of 1000-2000 lumens suffice; for big conference rooms, the ideal projectors would be those between 2000-3000 lumens.</P>
<P>The ratio between the brightest and darkest spots of an image is called the projector contrast. When purchasing LCD projectors, it is feasible to go for contrasts of 400:1 or higher. This way the best and the clearest pictures are achieved.</P>
<P>If the projector is to be carried around to different locations, then it is best to purchase a light projector. Many LCD projectors today weigh below five pounds. The lighter projectors generally cost more though. Also, it is viable to get an LCD projector with multiple ports, in the event that you want to connect multiple video or computer sources to the projector simultaneously.&nbsp; Another factor that should be considered is the durability of the lamp. Replacements can be an exorbitant deal. A lamp life of 2000 hours is just about ideal.</P>

Hands-on review: HAVA Platinum HD (Yahoo! Tech Advisors)

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 10:38:28 GMT

I hope I don't come off as a braggart, but I own several HDTVs all of them with a TiVO, cable box, and either a Blu-Ray or DVD player so the last thing I need is a Slingbox which is why I never cared to buy one. I mean, why do I need to spend more money to be able watch TV shows on my laptop, right? I've read plenty of Singbox reviews, and although it sounds great, I'm just having a hard ...


'Indy' extras go straight to the heart of the matter (Miami Herald)

Mon, 13 Oct 2008 07:34:04 GMT

In many reviews that greeted Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, critics opined that Steven Spielberg's heart didn't seem to be into the fourth screen outing of the iconic adventurer, which explained the movie's sluggish feel. But on the extras-laden two-disc Special Edition sets of the film (Paramount Home Entertainment, $40 DVD and Blu-ray), there is plenty of proof to suggest that ...
