DLP, tri-LCD, LED: which technology to choose?
There are 2 technologies that share the mainstream market: DLP (Digital Light Processing) and Tri-LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology.
The DLP video projectors and tri-LCD projectors work differently to create images, but their performance differences are less and less significant. DLP models can create visual discomfort and headaches due to the rainbow effect (or AEC). This phenomenon remains rare and tends to disappear thanks to the increasingly rapid rotation of the chromatic wheel. This technology must be tried to determine its sensitivity to this optical phenomenon. The alternative tri-LCD technology does not generate any rainbow effect.
Usually equipped with an ultra-high pressure (UHP) lamp, video projectors see their luminous intensity decrease over time. Lamps are consumables, with a lifespan between 2,000 and 6,000 hours in normal mode. To extend their use, it is recommended to use the economical mode, which reduces light intensity, electrical consumption and ventilation noise. Laser lamps (very expensive) or LEDs equip certain models, offering a lifetime of 10 times that of traditional UHP lamps (30,000 hours). The projector then heats less, resulting in energy savings and reduced ventilation noise.
Where to put your projector?
Before choosing the model, you must have clearly identified the part where it will be used. What size image would you like. What distance separates the screen from the projector Will it be placed well in front, will it be fixed to the ceiling Depending on the layout, you will choose a classic model, a model with a « len shift » which allows to shift the image without deformation, the correction of the horizontal trapeze, a powerful zoom, an ultra short focal point... The ideal way is to place the projector in front of the screen, otherwise you will have to choose a model with specific settings that make the note climb.
Classic models require a 3 m backset to obtain a 2.20 m base or 2.50 m diagonal image, or 100 inches diagonal, when an LED TV rarely exceeds 60 inches for the same budget. The ultra-short focal projectors sit 10 to 50 cm from the screen, which avoids being embarrassed by the shadows of people moving in the room and removes the noise from the ventilation. On the other hand, they highlight the small defects of the projection medium.
To find out if the selected projector corresponds to your installation, you need to know the basic width of the screen and the projection (or focal) ratio of the projector. By multiplying the minimum projection ratio by the screen width, you get the minimum distance to which to place the device. The maximum projection ratio multiplied by the screen width gives the maximum difference between the screen and the projector. If the distance in your configuration is between these two values, then the projector can adapt to your room.
What connection?
Would you like to connect your projector to a DVD player, a Blu-ray, a computer, a box, a game console, a touch tablet, a USB flash drive... The more you want to connect devices, the richer the connector. Unless you're going through an amp. To avoid multiplying cables, you can choose a model with Wi-Fi, but the option is expensive (200 to 400) € wireless kit). Now, all video projectors have at least one HDMI plug.
High Definition and 3D
For home cinema use, head to the Full HD video projectors (1980 _ 1080) to enjoy all the details of DVD and Blu-ray. The « HD Ready » and lower resolutions have the advantage of being more affordable. Remember that the larger the image, the more the pixels will be visible.
The 4K projectors There is still not enough content available to enjoy it; moreover, according to our 4K TV test compared to Full HD, users do not see any real differences between the two.
The 3D projectors are common, but glasses are usually not provided: a supplementary budget must be provided to equip compatible pairs.
Brightness and contrast: the war of numbers
Two features must guide you in your choice: brightness and contrast.
The brightness corresponds to the intensity of light generated by the projector and is expressed in lumens. The larger the projected image and the brighter the room, the brighter the projector will have to be: 1,000 lumens is a minimum, 1,600 or even more than 2,000 lumens will bring additional comfort. In real use conditions, measured brightness is lower than predicted, so you should not hesitate to close the shutters to dive into the dark and improve immersion.
As far as contrast is concerned, manufacturers are waging a merciless war to find out who will have the best relation between the brightness of a lit point and that of a turned off point. When conventional lamp headlamps display contrasts between 100 001 and 35 000:1, the LED models in our test claim 150,000:1 contrast ratios. Normally, the higher the contrast, the deeper the blacks are and rich in detail. Unfortunately, our real-use tests show a difference between the measured values and the declared values, the latter being carried out with adjustments « extremes ». It should be noted that deep blacks can only be obtained in a dark room.
Ventilation noise
To cool the UHP lamp, the projectors need a large ventilation. The economic mode makes it possible to reduce noise, so sometimes it is this noise level that is put forward on the products. Manufacturers generally display a level of 25-35 dB, which remains discreet. The continuous buzzing will be covered by the noise of the action scenes, but it can become annoying during the quieter scenes, especially if the projector is near you. Ultra-short focal projectors positioned just at the foot of the screen keep the unpleasant noise away.
Lamps: a real budget!
Replacement of the lamp requires a fairly large budget: from 100 to nearly 300 € for the complete block (bulb + support) according to the models. Depending on your use and the estimated lifetime of the lamp, this may be a criterion of choice at the time of acquisition of the projector. It may be tempting to buy only the bulb without the support block to realize savings, but this requires careful replacement and precautions to avoid any breakage. Check before purchasing, especially on the Internet, that the chosen model fits the entire block and not the bulb alone.
In addition to the original models, there are also lamps « compatible », more affordable but at random quality.
The annual electricity consumption is estimated at around 50 d€ per year for use in normal mode of 3 hours per day with a classic lamp. LED projectors consume twice as much.
A screen or a white wall?
In addition to the projector, a projection medium must be provided. A matt white wall can do the job (there are also specific paintings). The technique of tension sheet can present folds and the objects can be seen by transparency at the back. The best remains a real dedicated canvas designed to preserve colors and brightness.
Depending on your room, you can choose a roll-in screen (motorized or not), a fixed frame screen, a pull-up screen or a tripod screen. The canvas can be microperforated to let the sound coming from speakers placed behind pass. Those who choose a motorized screen will appreciate the presence of an exit « trigger » on the projector: as soon as the projector is turned on, the screen will run automatically.
As for size, it depends on the piece, your step back and the video projector. If you have little hindrance, do not see too much at the risk of making viewing uncomfortable, the ideal being a step back equal to 3 times the height of the screen. For the format, the 16/9 is recommended for film projections and the 4/3 or square for office applications.
One of the technical features of the screens is the gain This corresponds to their ability to optimize the contrast and brightness of the image. Thus, the lower the brightness of the projector (or the illuminated room), the greater the gain of your screen. A gain of 1 to 1.1 is enough for light projectors. Less luminous video projectors will require beaded or microbeaded canvases with a gain of 2.1, for example, which have the disadvantage of being very direct.
