For over a century, projectors have been utilized in one form or another to create an all-encompassing visual experience for audiences, so it shouldn't be a surprise that they're now one of the most popular components of home theaters. Projection screen televisions offer larger image size capabilities than standard TVs, and when combined with high-quality audio equipment, you can accomplish a movie theater-quality viewing experience.

Home Theater Guide: The Ins & Outs of Projection Screen TVs

How Does a Projection Screen TV Work?

There are two main types of projection screens: front and rear. Both require a specific amount of space between the display screen and the projector. Most homeowners opt for front projection because the systems easily fit into a living area without wasting space for the projection path.

Projection display systems are composed of a video projector and a quality screen. Instead of creating an image through the use of multiple pixels built into a display, like a traditional TV, projection screen TVs first create an image within the projector unit, and then, this image is magnified and projected out onto the screen. This process provides a very large, very detailed image, but it avoids the unsightly blurriness of large pixelated TV formats.

How Are Projection Screen TVs Installed?

To install a projection screen, you'll need the help of a home theater installation technician. They will first mount your chosen projector either on your ceiling or the wall opposite of the screen, depending on the width and height of the room. They will then mount and stretch your screen for a crisp, clear image.

Your home theater specialist will need to scale your projector to ensure that you're receiving the best image for your home's lighting levels. They will also program your speaker system based on your audio preferences. When the calibrations are complete, your home theater is ready to enjoy.
