Where can I rent a LCD Projector?

Can i use lcd projector instead of lcd or plasma tv in bedroom?

  • my bedrom size is 25 X 18 i have tried my friends projector it can give me a screen of 75'' of diagonal length on my wall but is it safe for my eyes ? can i run projector for more than 4-5 hours a day ? and quality dosn't matter more than size. lcd projector is a very cheap alternative of plasma tv if quality is neglected, whats your opinion

  • Answer:

    The only major issue is lamp life and replacement cost. Basically, lamps cost $300-$500 (depending on projector) and last 2-4000 hrs. Lifetime is longer if used with care (for example no rapid on/off cycles, minimize the number of on/offs -- see link). Other than that a projector is by far the best way to get a great BIG picture. Prices vary from $500 to over $100,000 ... but realistically even a 1080p projector can be purchased for $2000. See 2nd and 3rd link for reviews. info, etc). I use a projector for HDTV viewing and movies. I see no reason not to use in a bedroom ... in fact several posters on fora I frequent have projectors in their bedroom.

Projectors is the safest for your eyes out of all existing technologies - it is a simple reflection of light off the wall. If cost and size your only concerns - go with the projector. For the difference in price, you can buy a new projector avery few years - and still be ahead. One more issue to consider is the fan noise from the projector. And the fact that you have to keep the room dark. One word a caution - a lot of people mistakenly think that quality is not as important as size. Size MANDATES quality! Once you get yourself a 75" screen, and see the difference between SD and HD programming, it will be making the difference. So try to get an HD projector - you can get 1080p projectors now for under $2000, 720p - for under $1500. (See previous answers for model suggestions)

the only thing stopping me from getting a projector is the replacement bulb cost, sometimes 3/4 the cost of the projector. my mate had one and he used to run it all the time, even used his computer on it.

Yes, LCD has a longer life expectancy that plasma. Plus the store you buy it from should offer a cheap warranty for the light bulb that lights the LCD.
