Home Theater and Projectors

It takes a home theater projector to make a serious home theater experience. Forget those 65″ LCDTVs!

In this blog our technical guru, Ron explores the technologies involved, shares what’s important when choosing a home theater projector, and helps you understand issues like 3D, the new Blu-ray UHD standard, 4K Projectors, and much more. If you are technical, great, if not so much Ron still makes sense.
