Home Cinema Projectors are revolutionising the way we enjoy films, tv and games consoles at home. The increase in quality, reliability and durability and the freefall in pricing means that projectors are a reality for many many people. Here at Just Projectors we sell hundreds of home cinema projectors a year, and it's growing all the time. The sheer thrill of a bright, colourful vivid 92" diagonal image is quite simply somthing to be experienced. The fact all of this is available in a simple to use, quiet, discrete, package costing less than a half decent plasma means home cinema projectors look set to be found in more and more homes up and down the U.K.

With our hot deal pricing, for under £1000 we can put together a top brand, technology packed projector and screen combination that will thrill and delight! Spend a little more on your home cinema projector and you can obtain truly breathtaking performance levels previously the domain of professional screening rooms.

A tale of two technologies

As you may or may not be aware home cinema projectors fall roughly into two categories, DLP and LCD. They both provide stunning images, but in a slightly different way. If you are interested read on, if not call us on 01189 881114 to talk to one of our friendly staff about which type/model fits your needs. All at the UK's best pricing with excellent warranties. 

LCD Projectors

Put simply LCD projectors work by splitting the light from the projector bulb into three, and passing this light through 3 LCD panels (Red, Green and Blue) The LCD panels contain crystals which behave differently when an electric charge is applied, allowing for adjustment of the colours. This light is then directed out of the projector and onto the screen.

LCD home cinema projectors provide extremely cost effective, high resolution performance.

DLP Projectors

Put simply DLP home cinema projectors work by utilising a digital mirror device (DMD) It's quite a simple concept really, a chip containing tiny mirrors (how many depends on the resolution of the projector) has a voltage applied to each individual mirror making them 'tilt'. Light reflects from these mirrors through a spinning 'colour wheel' (again the number of segments in the colour wheel depends on the individual machine) and there you have it! It's not actually that simple but you get the idea!

DLP home cinema projectors give really top notch performance, with a very smooth 'filmic' picture quality.

Future proof projectors?

Typically all our projectors now include high performance connections like HDMI (& DVI) and generally all support high definition images. Please ask before ordering if you have any particular requirements, but rest assured almost every machine we sell is compatible with anything likely to emerge for the forseeable future.

Connectivity

Nearly all of the projectors we sell come with the following 'essential' connections:

• VGA (for connecting a PC)
• S-Video
• Composite

DVI and component connections are less common. If you have a high-end DVD player which has component output capability, you can take advantage of these connections so look out for them in the product specification sheets. If you don't have component outputs you can normally use the S-Video connection.

Progressive Scan

Most TV signals are sent in an "Interlaced Scan" format. First the display device (TV or projector) displays the image's odd lines, one at a time from top to bottom. This takes about one sixtieth of a second. It then fills in the even lines, taking another one sixtieth of a second. So the full picture is first drawn with half its information missing, which is then filled in. In all the process takes 1/30 of a second per complete frame.

A Progressive Scan converter takes an Interlaced Scan formatted signal, and converts it to a superior signal where the complete picture is drawn from top to bottom in one pass. This results in less flicker and smoother motion.

Some DVD players have progressive scan converters built in, and may have the option to output in either progressive or interlaced scan modes. Some projectors (in particular the specialist home cinema projectors) also have progressive scan converters built in. Alternatively, it is possible to purchase an inexpensive progressive scan converter as a separate unit which can convert your TV and DVD signals.
