What is a good home theater projector for a home bar?

By pfhometheater | January 4, 2010

The lights may be on sometimes. I am not sure if I should get a 2000 lumens or above.

    Well the lumens depends on the brighness of the room and how far back you are going to put the projector from the screen.

    Also another note is to look for a screen that has a high gain. 1.3 and above will usually be ok for a lit room. For a bright room you will be over 1.8 the gain but beware a high gain screen will sometimes give off birghter spotts on the screen. I personally never go over 1.3.

    A note for lighting in the room. Use High hats and small spots pointed away from the screen. For the High Hats try and use zoned lighting so that you can kill the lights around the screen while the lights around the bar area are on.

    Now for the Projector

    If you are going HD I recommend the Mitsubishi DLP and the Sharp DLP.. The Mitsu puts out about 1500 lumens, the sharp around 1200.

    Good Luck!
