Projection Tv

Viewers interested in larger screens should consider purchasing a projection television. Because projection TVs don’t employ traditional cathode ray tubes, there are no limitations as far as screen size is concerned. The reason projection TV’s are called such is because by using cathode ray tubes, they project the image onto the screen. The tubes divide the video signal into colors (red, blue, and green). The three tubes project onto a mirror in the set. The mirror then sends the color image onto the screen.

Front Projection Tv Types
A front-projection set is somewhat like a film projector. The operating system of the set is not stored in a traditional TV case ,instead, the TVs cathode ray tubes are kept in a single unit. The TV image is projected onto a fabric screen, which means that there is little to no limitation on screen size(200-inch screens are available). Projection TVs can be tricky to set up however and, work best in a darkened room. Proper distancing from the projector to the screen is important, and the cathode ray tubes must be set up properly. Viewers who are considering the purchase of a front-projection set should keep in mind that these TVs are designed to operate in a designated home theater , rather than a den or living room. A Front-projection set will run between $6,000-$7,000.

Rear Projection Tv
The least expensive projection type TV is a rear-projection LCD TV. Some projection TVs have three cathode-ray picture tubes (CRTs), which are essentially smaller versions of the tubes used in conventional sets. Other rear projection TV sets use LCD, digital light processing (DLP), or liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) technology in place of CRTs. These high tech rear projection TV sets are thinner, lighter, and as a result more, expensive than comparable CRT-based sets – but they also produce a higher-quality picture. Major brands of rear projection LCD TV sets include Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Panasonic, Philips, RCA, Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba. Most models are HD compatible.

Choosing a Projection Tv
Choosing the projection TV for you and your viewing needs depends on a number of things:

Consider the space you have available before you worry about the screen size itself. Most rear projection LCD TVs have screens measuring from 42 to well over 60 inches. first determine how much floor space you can spare, and plan to view the TV from around 7 to 10 feet away for optimal picture quality.

Consider depth and price. Once you know how much room you have, decide whether size or price is more important. CRT-based sets are floor-standing models with deep cabinets that are mounted on casters. Some take up as much space as an armchair or loveseat. Many rear projection LCD TV sets are tabletop units, or you can buy a separate stand for a few hundred dollars.

Consider the type of picture quality. The best rear projection LCD TV sets deliver excellent picture quality with HD content and impressive quality for DVD's and regular TV programming. Rear projection LCD TV screens provide much better picture quality than CRT models.

Check the viewing angle. Some rear projection LCD TV sets display better off-center images than older LCD sets did, which is important if your TV will be watched by several people at the same time. Before buying a particular model, see how the picture looks from different angles and positions.

If you decide on purchasing a projection TV set, you may want to consider extended warranty options. While extended warranties aren’t worth the hassle for most products, they very well may be for high-priced TVs. Also, you may want to check into the cost of a service plan and see if in-home service is covered. Some service plans offer replacements provided your rear projection LCD TV can't be repaired.
