First home theatre set up..

Hi folks i am looking to set up a home theatre system but have no clue as to what projector to be lookng for or even what specs on a projector make one better than the other..any help with this would be much appreciated....how much am I looking to spend ona basic projecotr nothing fancy just something that will do the job?




thanks

 

You can get a decent projector at Staples or Sam's Club, for around $800 to $1000, if there's not much in the way of Home Theater stores, in your area. Depends on if you want LCD or DLP, etc.

Think about this........... with a projector, you may only want to watch movies, concerts, or special sports events. They're not really meant for regular tv viewing. The life of the bulb will go quickly, if used for regular tv viewing, and the bulbs can cost $400 to $800 each. Keep that in mind.

I've never studied the specs of projectors, so someone else can probably help you with that, better than me.
Good luck! Keep us posted?

 

cheers thanks for the help atleast i know how much i should generally be looking at now.....

 

I have also heard of some $200 bulbs.
If I was looking a projector, the price of replacement bulbs, and if bulb is replacable by me (or [bold]HAD[/bold] to use a service call), would be a major selling point.
Good luck!

 

yeah true...well thought of...didnt even cross my mind!
