Would a Movie Projector work?




CJ


I am looking for something that will play movies against the siding of my house. I was thinking about a movie projector, but I have no idea if these even work or if they are sold anymore. I want it a pretty big picture. Does anyone have any ideas?


Answer
A movie projector would work. I don't know if they sell them any more. Also there are various types and film sizes so you would have to know about that also. Movie projectors are sort of a pain since you have to mess with threading film and such.

You might want to try a video projector. They sell those currently and you can hook up any video source to them (also computers can be hooked up to them). Some of them can project a pretty large image.

What kind of [movie] projector would be best?

I am looking for a home movie projector that does not need to be mounted and is portable. All the ones that I have seen so far either need to be mounted or I am told that the picture comes out small. I want the type that teachers use in the classrooms. I'm not sure what the brand or make is. Can someone help?


Answer
There are two classifications of projectors. Presentation and Home Theater.

The presentation projector is typically hooked up to a computer but can in many cases also be hooked up to a DVD/Bluray player or home theater system. Presentation projectors can be small, lightweight and portable. They typically offer a brighter picture and conform to typical computer resolutions like 800x600 (SVGA), 1024x768 (XGA), 1280x1024 (SXGA) or their wide screen variants. These projectors can be mounted to the ceiling or put on a table or shelf.

A home theater projector will tend to be less portable (ie: heavier and larger). Typically they are mounted from the ceiling but can also be placed on a shelf or table. A home theater projector will not offer the same light output as many presentation projectors and tend to favor picture quality, color accuracy and low fan noise. A home theater projector will usually natively support 720p or 1080p which are the widescreen computer equivalent of 1280Ã720 and 1920x1080. These projectors will also accept input from commonly used AV cables such as HDMI and component video.

The size of the picture being projected on the screen is in direct relationship to how far back the projector is placed and the projector's qualities. When purchasing a projector you will also need a surface to project onto like a pulldown or fixed screen or a flat wall painted white or neutral grey. You should also consider a sound system as most projectors either lack a built in speaker or the quality of built in sound is not very robust.
