If you’re looking for an awesome projector to go with your home theater, then TVNZ might have what you are looking for. Recently they released a small list of some of the best home theater projectors as well as a quick glance at the 3M MPro 110 pico projector.

First on the list is the Canon XEED SX7 which is good for both home and business. It comes with a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 4000 ANSI lumens, and SXGA (1400 x 1050) resolution. This model features a DVI-I, RGB, s-video, and a composite connection as well as a USB control port. The SX7 is also designed to be portable, and comes with a variety of auto features to help make setup quick and easy.

Next on the list is the Panasonic PT-AX200E projector that features 2000 ANSI lumens, a 6000:1 contrast ratio, and HD (1280 x 720) resolution. Not only is this projector great for movies, but the high brightness is ideal for spots and video games, and you don’t need a dark room to use. This model is a step above the Canon projector because it replaces the DVI connection with dual HDMI ports. The AX200E is also incredibly quiet with only a 25 dB noise level, which prevents this projector from distracting viewers from their show.

Also on the list is the PT-AE3000 that comes with 1600 ANSI lumens, a 60000:1 contrast ratio, and full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution. This model is considerably heavier than the other two, weighing 16.1 lbs, but for good reason. The AE3000 has 3 HDMI ports as well as two component connections, a RGB, s-video, and an RCA connection. This projector would be perfect for recreating the cinema experience with dim lights and a big clear display.

Lastly, the writers quickly mention their hands on experience with the MPro110 pocket projector. While this model is in no ways a home theater projector, the model allows a user to bring the movies with them wherever they go. The MPro110 features 7 ANSI lumens, an 80:1 contrast ratio, and VGA (640 x 480) resolution. The model can fit in any pocket and can be connected to a PC, composite connection, or any mobile device that supports video content. The MPro110 comes with a hour long internal battery, which is long enough for a presentation or a short movie. You can also run off a power cord for when you want to watch the really long movies.
