For people who enjoy watching movies and TV shows at home, having a projector can truly revolutionize your home entertainment. While Smart TVs have been the go-to option for watching a wide range of entertainment content, home theater projectors are capable of delivering a large, vibrant image that far surpasses that offered by traditional TV screens, thus giving you a more immersive viewing experience. Unlike TV displays, which have a fixed image size regardless of their screen’s resolution, a projector allows you to adjust the image size to your liking without compromising image quality, giving you a more comfortable viewing experience that’s less demanding on your eyes, especially when focusing on smaller details on the screen. Furthermore, TV screens also emit a lot of light, while projectors work by reflecting light, which is significantly less straining on the eyes.
