Cinema at home: five tube FullHD-projectors
It is suggested to get acquainted with the specifications of the models from the selection in the comparative table of lamp FullHD projectors. A detailed list of projector offers is available in the catalog section of the same name. We also recommend reading the material"Screen without Borders: TOP 5 LED projectors for home cinema".
The H6522ABD model from Acer is akin to many 50-inch TVs. However, with the help of a projector, the image can be stretched much more — at the maximum throw distance, its diagonal will be about 300".
A universal approach
The projector produces a "live" and contrasting picture with a peak brightness of up to 3500 ANSI-lumens. The brightness reserve of the lamp unit is quite enough both for viewing video content in darkened rooms and for holding presentations in lighted conference halls. To improve the quality of broadcasts, branded features are designed in the manner of LumiSense (auto-adjustment of brightness and contrast), ColorBoost 3D (provides natural colour reproduction), ColorSafe II (put on guard against colour burnout).
Long operational life
The standard "life" of a UHP projector lamp is 3500 hours. In ExtremeEco mode, it can be extended up to 20,000 hours. In the absence of a signal, the projector automatically turns off, which prolongs the life of the lamp. The device supports video content playback in resolutions up to 1920x1280 pixels. The projector is mounted on any type of flat surface or suspended from the ceiling. The article will help to understand the subtleties of its placement in the room"How to calculate the distance from the projector to the screen?".
Out of competition
External devices are connected to the model via two HDMI ports, one USB output, a VGA connector or a set of "tulips". Also in the case of the device there is a built-in speaker with a power of 3 watts. A convenient remote control is used to configure the image display parameters. Finally, the focus and position of the image on the projected screen are adjusted manually. In the considered price league of universal projectors, the Acer H6522ABD is out of competition.

The junior class of home theater projectors from Epson is represented by a duo of TW740 and TW750 models that use three-matrix 3LCD technology.
Three-matrix technology
Three translucent LCD matrices are installed "under the hood" of the projector. Each of them is illuminated by its base colour (red, green or blue), and the final colour image is formed from images superimposed on each other. As a result, the projector demonstrates higher brightness indicators in comparison with one-matrix colleagues in the workshop. The quasi-laser lamp of the device generates a luminous flux of up to 3400 ANSI-lumens.
Wireless broadcast
A distinctive feature of the Epson EH-TW750 model is the support of wireless technology for broadcasting Miracast content. Videos from a smartphone can be "played" on the projector without the need to download additional mobile applications. Wired interfaces for connecting the projector are represented by two HDMI ports, one USB input, an analogue VGA connector and a composite video input.
Strong trumps
Above the object of the model there is a convenient slider for horizontal correction of trapezoidal distortions of the image geometry (± 30 °). The projector also has a vertical trapezoid correction function and is equipped with a built—in speaker with a base power level of about 2 watts. Another weighty argument in favor of the model is the democratic cost, as the strongest trump card up its sleeve.
Acer Predator Z650 is one of the few gaming projectors for adherents of pastime in virtual game worlds. In his spare time from games, he can be used as a key link in the deployment of home theater systems.
Short-focus optics
The model is made in the recognizable style of the "predatory" Acer Predator product line and is painted in a dynamic combination of black and red colours. The main character of the projector is a lamp unit of the UHP type with a claimed resource of up to 6000 hours (in an economical glow mode). The model is equipped with a short-focus object, which allows you to install the projector close to the screen. So, from a distance of about 1.5 m, the device projects an image with a width of more than 2 m.
Gaming vocation
The title of gaming is assigned to the projector for nothing. It was named gaming due to the minimal delay in image output — about 5 ms, which is comparable to the response rates of many gaming monitors. Acer Predator Z650 broadcasts an image in the maximum resolution of FullHD (1920 x 1080 pixels). The device has three unique gamut adjustment modes: Bright FPS for light games, Dark FPS for dark games and auto-mode to adjust the contrast to the optimal level. But the black level of the model can not be called outstanding, although with the light off it is not particularly noticeable.
Advanced ergonomics
The projector is easily connected to any digital and analogue video sources. Signals from mobile devices are transmitted to it "over the air" or via an HDMI connector with support for the MHL interface. For sound reproduction, both powerful onboard stereo speakers of 2 x 10 W format with DTS Sound function and a Bluetooth transmitter can be used. Included with the projector are a convenient carrying bag and two pairs of active 3D glasses. A close relative of the model is another gaming solution under the sign of the Taiwanese brand — the projectorAcer Nitro G550.
The VPL-HW65ES model represents Sony's line of cinema SXRD projectors. This is a balanced on all fronts sample of a movie projector with an "honest" FullHD image resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels).
Reflective matrix technology
The device is based on LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) reflective matrix technology. With it, you can achieve excellent contrast in combination with bright and saturated colours without the "rainbow effect". The UHP lamp provides a luminous flux of 1800 ANSI-lumens, which is a good hundred more than the previous model represented by Sony VPL-HW55ES. The service life of the lamp unit is claimed for over 6000 hours (with economical use).
Optical magnification
The projector is able to expand the image with diagonal dimensions from 1.02 to 7.62 m at a distance of 2.5-9 m from the screen. Its optical system has fully manual control. The multiplicity of optical scaling in this case is 1.6x, and the model also implements the possibility of shifting lenses in vertical and horizontal directions. Sony VPL-HW65ES feels best in medium and large "quadrature" rooms.
Pro League
The projector's chipset supports Reality Creation Advanced and High Frame Rate technologies, providing a realistic and smooth picture with natural colour reproduction. The image processing system uses Motion Flow technology, smoothing motion artifacts in highly dynamic scenes. In addition, the model is prepared to work with active 3D glasses — it has been equipped with a built—in RF adapter. Glasses for it will need to be purchased separately. In terms of connections, the projector has two HDMI inputs without any alternatives.

The Epson EH-TW9400 large—caliber projector is focused on home "registration" — the model is completely sharpened for broadcasting a movie in quality up to 4K.
Pseudo-4K
The model is armed with three liquid crystal chips (one for each primary colour — red, green, blue) and one powerful UHE lamp with a brightness of 2600 Lm. The 3LCD technology used provides comfortable viewing with rich colours and excellent brightness without the appearance of a rainbow effect. The native resolution for the projector is considered FullHD. However, the model uses a technique with artificial pixel magnification to display "pseudo-4K".
HDR support
Epson EH-TW9400 recognizes HDR10 and HLG signals, and the projector has the ability to flexibly adjust HDR. The user can find the right balance between brightness and dynamic range of the image for full immersion in what is happening on the screen. The object of the device has a 2.1-fold zoom with a throw ratio in the range from 1.35 to 2.84, which makes it possible to install the device at various distances from the screen. The cherry on the cake is a motorized zoom and focus drive.
A winning investment
The projector weighs almost 11 kg. And the dimensions of the device can not be called compact — 193x520x450 mm. It can be mounted, for example, on the ceiling. The model's interface shelf has two HDMI ports, an Ethernet port, two USB ports, and a 12 V trigger. You will have to fork out a lot to purchase a projector, but the investment in its purchase will more than pay off with really outstanding image quality.
