HDTV Projectors for your Home Theater or video conference: High-def HD Projectors for DVDs, games & TV

Which type of HDTV projector should the consumer buy?
There are two primary types of HDTV projectors: SVGA and XGA. The difference between the two is the amount of image compression necessary (both types have some compression requirements). HDTV is a type of television signal with a larger aspect ratio than the old standard signal form, NTSC (16:9, as opposed to 4:3).

Resolution is vastly increased with HDTV, and, because the signal is digital, HDTV signals can carry more information.

There are two primary types of HDTV projectors: SVGA and XGA. The difference between the two is the amount of image compression necessary (both types have some compression requirements).

An SVGA projector’s display panels have a pixel matrix that is 800x600, and, to display HDTV’s 16:9 signal ratio, an active area of 800x450 pixels is actually used. Any HDTV signal is reformatted by compressing the resolution to that 800x450 display area, and image detail is inevitably lost in the process.

A standard XGA resolution projector has a pixel matrix of 1024x768, and to display a 16:9 signal ratio, an active area of 1024x576 pixels is used. Again, compression is required to fit the HDTV signal to the display area, and some image detail is lost, though not as much as with an SVGA.

If you're a media enthusiast building a multimedia setup for a recreation room or your own living room, the thought of installing a projector instead of purchasing a clunky and potentially expensive high definition television and hanging it on a wall has likely crossed your mind. As the prices of high definition technology have dropped over the recent years, more and more people are considering putting in an HDTV projector rather than a typical LCD television to allow their high definition technology to stand out, enhancing the typical viewing experience.....read more...
