Is a Rear Screen Right for Me?
|
|
Is a rear projection television (RPTV) right for me? It depends on your needs.
Rear projection televisions can be used in a broad range of applications, and
it's actually rare to find specific applications where one cannot be used.
Below is a list of common scenarios where a rear projection television performs
best, followed by a list of scenarios that might suggest the need to use a
different technology.
Best case scenarios:
- Applications where a large screen is desired and there is enough available floor area to place the unit.
- Installations that have custom cabinets that are designed for rear projection televisions.
- Applications that have budget constraints.
- Areas that have too much ambient light for front projection displays.
- Playrooms, bars, basements and all areas where the sole function of the room is not home theater.
(Rooms like this are commonly referred to as media rooms).
Scenarios where another technology might be more effective:
- Any in-wall application.
- Large rooms with controlled lighting.
