So You Want to Build a Home Theater? Step 2: Choosing a Screen

There you are, sitting pretty with your new home theater projector. Next step is to pick the right screen for your viewing environment. What exactly do you need to know about choosing a projection screen? Is bigger always better? Can you just blast the image on a white wall?

The short answer is, it depends. Sometimes bigger is simply better. Why settle for 100-inches when you can get 150-inches? And there are some instances when a bed sheet or a white wall will do the trick. However, there are also a range of screens which are designed for easy, portable outdoor usage and provide greater reflectivity than a bedsheet.

There are a few things that may be worth considering if you’re looking for the screen that is the ideal complement to your projector. Projector screen expert and AV enthusiast Jeremy Meyer of Visual Apex has answers to the most frequently-asked questions from consumers looking to build a personal home theater.

Here’s what he had to share:

Q: What are the typical screen considerations for the average consumer?

A: Almost everyone is going for that unique, immersive, big-screen experience when designing their home theater. However, there are several considerations that consistently come up for consumers as they begin the selection process:

  • Viewing Distance: I always caution consumers to be aware of how far people need to be sitting away from the screen before you go big. The bigger the screen, the farther back people may want to sit.
  • Screen Type: Some people are very selective about their screen type – specifically the material and gain. However, around 90 percent of projector screens will work well in an environment with controlled lighting using a Matte White material.
  • 3D Implications: Consumers inquire about the best type of screen for 3D versus 2D content viewing. However, 3D projections work on almost every screen, so there’s no need to buy a special 3D screen. However, there are some screens which will always perform best in specific applications.
  • Durability and Ease of Set Up: People want useful things that are easy to set up and do not require a lot of maintenance. Consumers have a range of review information available online to discern a good screen. Do your due diligence and look at comparable features, as well as company reviews and return policies.

Epson launched UST interactive projector at BETT 2017

 

Paul Wilson, business manager, Epson UK, says: “This high-end, ultra-short-throw projector uses the latest technology to allow sharing and impressive interactivity, with a scalable display size of up to 100 inches, something that flat-panel displays just can’t economically offer. A long lamp life of up to 10,000 hours in eco mode reduces maintenance levels. Finger-touch and dual-pen interactivity make it easy for students to join in by directly writing or drawing on projected images. Alternatively, EasyMP Multi-PC Projection software’s enhanced moderator function means teachers can easily display the content they want from up to 50 student devices, providing even more opportunities for sharing content between teachers and students.”

The Epson iProjection App is available for iOS and Android devices, and Google Chromebooks. PC-free annotation functions are expanded by enhanced control and annotation toolbars, including the addition of print and save functions, that can be accessed through the new home screen. Also featured are split-screen capabilities, the ability to control a visualiser directly from the EB-696Ui, a built-in 16W speaker and microphone input. Ultra-wide multiscreen interactive surfaces can be created by placing two EB-696Ui side-by-side.

The EB-696Ui is also joined by six further models in the range; the EB-695Wi, EB-685Wi, EB-675Wi, EB-685W, EB-675W and EB-670. All are built around 3LCD technology to produce images up to 100 inches in size with a contrast ratio up to 16,000:1. All models have three HDMI inputs to allow educators to connect multiple devices, including PCs, DVD and Blu-ray players, streaming dongles and visualisers. SMART Notebook software is also included with all models – a familiar educational package, purpose built for interactive displays.

Epson Launches New 3LCD Reflective Laser Pro Cinema Projectors Elevating Home Theater Viewing to an Enthralling Movie Theater Experience

Groundbreaking 4K Enhanced and 1080P Lamp-Free Projectors Deliver True-to-Life Colors with Expansive Color Gamut, Absolute Black Contrast, and High Color and High White Brightness

Epson, the best selling projector brand worldwide[1], today announced a revolutionary line of new Pro Cinema projectors with 3LCD Reflective laser technology. The new Epson PowerLite® Pro Cinema LS10000 4K Enhancement Projector and the Pro Cinema LS9600e Wireless 1080p Projector deliver stunning, crystal-clear images with up to 1,500 lumens of color brightness and 1,500 lumens of white brightness[2], outstanding contrast and an advanced suite of calibration tools. Developed to meet the requirements of today’s most demanding home entertainment consumers, these projectors provide home theater designers with state-of-the-art solutions for creating unparalleled home theater experiences.

Integrating advanced technology developed by Epson’s global research and development, these groundbreaking projectors combine Epson’s new 3LCD Reflective technology and a laser light source to deliver unprecedented Absolute Black contrast ratio and one of the industry’s largest color gamuts for an engaging, immersive home cinema experience. The Pro Cinema LS10000 adds 4K Enhancement Technology[3] for unbelievable sharpness, clarity and detail, shifting each pixel diagonally by 0.5 pixels to double the resolution and surpass Full HD image quality without visible stair-stepping or pixel gaps.

“Epson’s new Pro Cinema Reflective laser projectors combine the most advanced projection technology we have ever developed. The result is a true-to-life theater experience that custom installers can provide to meet the requirements of today’s discerning consumers,” said Jason Palmer, marketing manager, Epson America. “I believe that these new premium products will set an image quality and performance standard that, once experienced by our customers and partners, will make it very tough to consider anything else.”

With Epson’s innovative 3LCD Reflective system, custom installers can now ensure the images that filmmakers intended are the actual images that their customers see. Both projectors deliver Absolute Black contrast ratio that displays zero lumens during full-black scenes as well as improved pixel density and increased aperture ratio for smoother, film-like pictures. The LS9600e and LS10000 also offer advanced projection features including Full HD 1080p in 2D and 3D with Super Resolution and Detail Enhancement for sharp, rich images, exceptional frame interpolation capabilities, and Bright 3D Drive projection for greater brightness when viewing 3D content.

The projectors are designed for installation convenience with 2.1x power zoom, power focus, lens shift up to 90 percent vertical and 40 percent horizontal, and lens position memory that can store up to 10 settings for standard 16:9 or 4:3 projection areas, and 2.35:1 wide cinema ratio. The laser light engine offers up to 30,000 hours of life[4] with rapid warm-up or cool down time for fast, worry-free, whisper quiet operation. For added installation and operation flexibility, a WirelessHD transmitter connects up to five HDMI devices simultaneously, with one HDMI out connection and one optical port for switching between sources, and MHL connectivity to display content from MHL-enabled tablets and smartphones (LS9600e only).

Epson VS230 Review: SVGA 3LCD Projector

Here’s the situation: you need a projector, but you have less than $400 to spend. The projector needs to be bright enough to use in a conference room or living room, which rules out the cheap projectors that you see all over Amazon and eBay. You don’t need especially high resolution, just a high-quality image with decent color and contrast from a projector that actually does what it claims to do on the spec sheet.

The Epson VS230 is an SVGA LCD projector that solves all of these problems. At $340, it is inexpensive enough to compete directly with the cheap projectors, but it is a quality product built by one of the largest projector manufacturers in the business. When you need a projector on a shoestring budget, the VS230 is definitely worth a look.

 

The Viewing Experience
Let’s say this up front: the Epson VS230 is not a home theater projector or a home video projector. The VS230 is a low cost presentation projector, built for conference rooms and offices with mild to moderate ambient light. It has lower resolution than home video projectors, a 4:3 aspect ratio, and it does not include many of the advanced video processing features found on home theater projectors.

By our own admission, it is not fair to evaluate the VS230 as a home video projector, but we’re doing it anyway. Why? Simply put, there is incredible demand for cheap projectors, and the people who want these cheap projectors usually want to use them for film and video.

So what do you get for your $340? A bright picture, for one. I set up the VS230 on the coffee table in my living room and turned it on. A few seconds later, a blazing bright picture appeared on the wall, with rich colors and decent black levels. With the open curtains and cellular shades, my living room measured almost 300 lux — enough light to read by without straining your eyes. At this level of ambient illumination, the VS230 is still bright enough to put out a TV-sized image of 60″ diagonal and enough color and contrast performance to make video look good. With ambient lighting reduced, like after the sun goes down, image sizes of up to 140″ are possible. If anything, the VS230 is too bright for nighttime use at small image sizes, as it produces over 2400 lumens in its brightest mode and over 1000 lumens even in its dimmest one.

The VS230 teaches us that today’s business and data projectors can be great for video under the right conditions. The projector is certainly more capable than the cheap junk being advertised for video use on sites like Amazon, and it doesn’t cost much more.
