Our aim is guide you through the techno babble and help you make an informed decision.

Choosing the correct display device is essential. With so many products available this has become increasingly difficult for the consumer.

Home entertainment systems are based around a Plasma TV, LCD TV or projector. These products are used as display devices for: TV, Films, Gaming, Computers and media servers. Featured below are considerations and a rough guide to there most suitable applications:



Projectors:

Offering the ultimate in big screen entertainment, projectors are the key to creating your very own personal theatre. Not only are they exceptional for movies but can also be used for TV (the big match) or your favourite game.

Without a shadow of a doubt this is the best way for you and your friends to enjoy the movie experience; your home, your system, your comfort. Pause the movie for a comfort break! And never miss the action again.

Projectors were once reserved for elite home cinemas. Although high end products still offer the best performance, entry level projectors have improved in recent years and produce bright dynamic pictures. High definition is not only available on LCD’s and plasma, entry level projectors feature 720p resolution and the next step provides full 1080p compatibility.
