New laser based projectors are revolutionizing TV screen size due to their ultra-high brightness and their ability to produce stunning pictures, even with lights on and windows nearby and with lights completely off. What does this mean for you? You can customize the exact screen size as big as you want for your space and not be limited to standard flat panel TV's relatively small screen sizes. Even an 80" TV is not big enough for the same cinematic of a commercial movie theater.

With a laser based front projector you can watch regular TV programming and enjoy your favorite movies all on the same screen and in the same room, negating the expense and inconvenience of having both a family room and a media room. Imagine the fun of having a massive TV screen to enjoy a sporting event with your family and friends in the same living room with the lights on instead of an isolated dark media room. Older incandescent and LED light based projectors do not have this capability because at high brightness levels needed when ambient light is present, pictures look washed out. Lasers do not have this crippling limitation. Only lasers can produce stunning pictures in a well-lit room and in total darkness. However, to fully realize the advantage of this new technology the expertise of a well-trained integrator is needed to design the system. These are some critical factors that the integrator must calculate and take into account when determining screen material, screen size and requirements needed from the projector: ambient light in foot lamberts, light reflected of the screen in foot lamberts, throw distance, throw ratio, seating distance, seating layout, and line of sight to screen. All of these factors are interrelated. Therefore, having the expertise of a professional integrator is paramount to realizing the benefits of a laser based video system.

The bigger the screen size the more immersive the viewing experience. Most installers use screen sizes that are too small with less than optimal screen type and with the wrong projector, leaving customers with less than average movie and TV watching experience. The availability of laser based video projectors at affordable prices technology currently available there is no excuse for not having a massive screen in a living room.

You can have a big screen front projector for both TV and movie watching in a living room with lights on and not compromise in video fidelity and the expense and inconvenience of having a dedicated media room. And it's a more social event when everyone can be in the same room enjoying a sporting event, watching their favorite TV show, or a movie.
