HD Projectors - 3 Factors to Consider Before Buying

An HD home theater projector produces amazing picture quality and gives the viewer the ability to feel like they are a part of the action. While having an HDTV is a good start, an HD projector will take your viewing experience to another level. If you are interested in purchasing an HD home theater projector, the following is a list of factors to consider while shopping for one.

Room Size

The first factor to consider is if the room that you plan on setting up the HD projector and screen in is big enough. You want to have sufficient space to the point where the projector can produce a good sized image on the screen.

Lighting

Second, consider the amount of light that enters the room. Although projectors aren't as affected by light as they once were, if the room is too bright the color and contrast will not be as clear. With the amount of money that is normally invested in a home theater, the last thing you want to happen is to not maximize the picture quality.

HD Projector Screen

Third, if you aren't thinking about buying an HD projector screen, perhaps you should reconsider. Having a screen to go along with the projector is almost always encouraged, even though it means spending more money. Test out the home theater projector if possible so you know what you are getting.

HD projectors with their ability to create amazing picture quality have come a long way in the last few years. These are just a few factors to think about when shopping for an HD home theater projector.

Whats the best way to hook up an XBOX 360 to a HD projector?

Im looking to buy a HD projector at the end of the month to rinse my XBOX on, but have been wondering about the connectivity of the damn thing. I know the XBOX does not have HDMI, just component, however most projectors only have one video phono connection, which means no HD playback for me. Is there another way to ensure I can get HD playback from an HD projector??

Can I get HD through the VGA input?
Are there any component --> HDMI convertors?
Does the XBOX have a DVI Cable??

Any serious help would be great

thanks

An HD Ready projector should have either HDMI or Component inputs (probably both) and I think there is a plan for an HDMI cable. (There must be to support HDCP from the HD-DVD drive).

I don't know about the VGA output of the XBOX - but I would have thought it would be OK.

There isn't a Component -> HDMI converter as the Component signal is analogue and HDMI is digital, so the conversion would take time (fine for TV/DVD, not good for gaming).
