Projectors

Home cinema is something that has become pretty much the norm these days. Whether your budget or room is small you can still install a DIY set up that meets both and give a great experience.

What I want to talk about today is the next level of Home Cinema and one of the key elements that allows a dedicated room to function as a real home cinema by means of installing a projector.

Rococo Systems and Design, have always invested in giving our customers the most up to date and highest performing kit available across all our product range and with projectors this is something we have continued to do.

By installing a good quality projector that has been chosen to fit your room and the equipment that’s sending the signal you will have a high definition experience like never before. Not only can you watch TV and movies in formats such as DVD and Blue Ray, gaming has been a huge win for the projector market over the last few years, assisted by the launch of the PS3.

Like anything in life, you get what you pay for and you can expect the quality to vary somewhat too. Here at Rococo Systems and Design, we supply a wide range of projectors to meet most needs. A good base example is the Optoman Theme Scene® HD65. At only £649 (price checked June 2010) it offers a true digital projector experience that will fit most budgets without compromise on quality! Movies and gaming will never be the same again.

The Sony VPL HW15 is a full HD projector that comes in at a non budget busting £2,466.32 (price checked June 2010) the Bravia Engine 2 technology will project a full digital image with an impressive contrast ratio of 60,000:1. Tie this in with a good sound system and processor and you won’t be disappointed.

Of course like any component of the Home Cinema and Home Entertainment world there will always be the heavyweights to contend with for those of us that have a generous budget with which to buy a projector.

If a projector was on my shopping list and I had just sold my wife to a rich Dubai Prince, then without doubt the winner would be the jaw dropping SIM2 Grand Cinema HT5000E with a price tag of only £44,995.00 you would expect a lot of projector for the money. It doesn’t disappoint and it’s amazing how those clever people at Sim2 have fitted it all into one box. The Sim2 Grand Cinema MICO series is the result of a lengthy, thorough study of projector design and significant investments in R&D. The SIM2 Grand Cinema MICO incorporates PureLED technology, a combination of 0.95” DarkChip4 1080p DLP chipset from Texas Instruments, 3 individual high power Phlatlight LEDs (one for each colour R, G and B), new light engine and video processing. PureLED technology allows the projector to deliver clearer, brighter and more vibrant images, a wider and more consistent colour gamut, and Full-On/Full-Off contrast up to 100,000:1.

Yes that’s right folks, unless you like living on the edge this is not something that you can install on a Sunday in a rush to catch the match. But fear not as Rococo Systems and Design are authorised Sim2 specialists. To get the most out of your Sim2 projector Rococo Systems offer full installation and calibration service. This means whilst we do all the work, you can pace the room in a heightened state of excitement just waiting to play with your new toy.

As you can now see all projectors are not equal and you can open a can of worms when in the buying market. Research and advice from experts is key in making sure you don’t just buy a projector but indeed that you make a wise investment.
