Projectors Information

As you may or may not be aware projectors fall roughly into two categories, DLP and LCD. They both provide stunning images, but in a slightly different way. If you are interested read on, if not please click on on of the sections above to see our range of office and home projectors for sale.

LCD Projectors
Put simply LCD projectors work by splitting the light from the projector bulb into three, and passing this light through 3 LCD panels (Red, Green and Blue) The LCD panels contain crystals which behave differently when an electric charge is applied, allowing for adjustment of the colours. This light is then directed out of the projector and onto the screen.

LCD projectors provide extremely cost effective, high resolution performance. Best selling examples include the Sony VPL-EX5 projector

DLP Projectors
Put simply DLP home cinema projectors work by utilising a digital mirror device (DMD) It's quite a simple concept really, a chip containing tiny mirrors (how many depends on the resolution of the projector) has a voltage applied to each individual mirror making them 'tilt'. Light reflects from these mirrors through a spinning 'colour wheel' (again the number of segments in the colour wheel depends on the individual machine) and there you have it! It's not actually that simple but you get the idea!

DLP projectors give really top notch performance, with a very smooth 'filmic' picture quality. Best sellers include the Infocus IN2102
