Low Cost Devices for DIY Home Theaters
Are you looking to create your own home theater, but you’re budget is limited? Electronic House has recently released a list of their top 8 products for do it yourself (DIY) home theaters. All of these products are top of the line but won’t cost you your first born. On the list is the Mitsubishi HC5500 projector, which features full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, 1200 ANSI lumens, and a 14000:1 contrast ratio. This projector made the list due to its superior image quality and low price, $1995. Also on the list is the Elite Screens CineTension2 AcousticPro screen for $789. This screen costs a third of the cost of a 60 inch HDTV and can be made for displays between 84 and 100 inches, diagonally. Also this screen is acoustically transparent, which mean you can hide your speaker system behind the screen and it will not muffle the sound quality. But if you want an entire home theater for a low cost then you need to look at the Ensemble from Epson, which is the last product on the list. This kit comes with everything you could want for a home theater including, a 100 inch motorized screen, speaker system, ceiling mount, sub woofer, DVD player, and the PowerLite Home Cinema 1080 UB projector. The Home Cinema 1080 UB projector can display full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, 1600 ANSI lumens, and a 50000:1 contrast. The Ensemble retails for $7000, which is a little high, but it’s worth it to get everything in one package.
