Movie Projector

Looking for a good movie projector. Any Suggestions? Something like zoombox?

Hi-I am looking for a good movie projector to watch movies on. I am looking for good quality, but don’t want to spend 3000. I did some research on the zoombox, and am looking for something similar or alittle better. Is there a projector that is a step above the zoombox? Any input will be appreciated.

The Zoombox is OK but you can do better (as you recognize by your question). There are quite a few projectors under $1000 that will give you good results. The links below are to reviews of two possibilities. You might also look around the projectorcentral.com (and projectorreviews.com) to get some other ideas.

Don’t pay any attention to the respodent that says not to buy a projector. It is possible to get a great picture, and much more important, a truely immersive / movie theatre like experience you can’t get on a flat panel for under $30-50,000.

My wife and I would never go back to the small screen (i.e. anything under about 80″).

CRT cathode ray tube means and that have been in use for over 50 years. They are durable and reliable, and also provide excellent image quality. The image sharpness is excellent, but the brightness is not the par with the other two types of projectors.

LCD or liquid crystal display can show a variety of colors and project a very bright and sharp. They are also very accessible as this technology has become so popular in recent years. Still, you have to replace bulbs that can often cost up to several hundred dollars. So if you decide by an LCD projector sure to take this into account and budget for this expenditure in the future.

DLP is for digital light processing and is the newest type of home theater projector and is rapidly gaining in popularity. DLP technology is as bright as the LCD, but has much higher contrast ratio.
