Getting Inside the Box of Your Home Theater System

Designing your home theater system is getting more exciting all the time. Televisions are bigger, better, cheaper, and slimmer than ever. The home theater consumer has choices ranging from the traditional tube-type television to large screen rear projection sets, to the latest hang-on-the-wall Plasma and LCD flat panel monitors. All of these types of television configurations have been successfully incorporated into many home theaters around the world. However, all of these TV viewing options place the viewer “outside the box” (so to speak). All of the work of generating the video image (from input to display) is done within an “enclosed box” of some type. The box is also a piece of furniture that takes up space either on a floor, table, or wall. (more…)

Projection televisions are a hub of a true home theater. They provide a much larger screen and picture than most CRT sets can allow. Also, both front- and rear-projection models can work with a variety of entertainment setups and budgets. Before you go out and make your big purchase on that new projection screen television, know the common problems with these television sets.

If you have a television and the size of the image isn’t as large as you would like, you can connect the TV to the projector. This sends a signal from the television to the projector, allowing you to view the image from your TV on a larger surface, such as a projector screen or light-colored wall. (more…)

Projector TV screens emit a clean picture image far superior to the image displayed on a traditional tube-style television. The screens are much more sensitive than traditional glass TV screens and should be cleaned and cared for with special attention. Traditional TV sets could be cleaned with a glass cleaner and paper towel, however, neither of these elements are safe for use on projector TV screens, as they can damage the special screen and screen shield. Instead, clean the screen with a few simple ingredients. (more…)
