This is a great question to address as the size of TVs keep getting larger.
Thanks for watching!
I can't imagine myself building a dedicated home theater, at least not a big one with multiple rows of stadium seating like in this video. The living room environment feels more intimate and inviting to me. As mouthwatering as JVC's top-tier projectors probably look, a 70-80" TV will be a better fit for me unless I get stinking rich out of nowhere.
There is one thing i know projector has one feature that a tv doesn't has.
The ability to make animal shadow like a dog, cat, rabbit and etc. A human hand is required though.
Haha, that is true!
Never had a projector here before, can I connect it to my phone wirelessly to watch youtube or netflix like I could do with a tv? Also how do you connect a console like a ps5 for example
Almost all projectors need a home theater system. You connect your gaming console and other sources to a home theater receiver which then sends the picture to the projector. You stream from your phone to a streaming source like a Roku or console.
Tv is still better
for huge room its always better to but projector i think
Thanks for sharing. We agree
Hi, I have a doubt.. Am planning to set up a home theater in my room. But all my movie contents are in 1080p, which are downloaded. So, what is the best projector suited for my room to project it to a 120 inch or say to a max, 150 screen?.. I know, only 4K content looks sharp. But I only have 1080p, with more than 2000 titles. Pls advice
Great question. The answer will really depend on the room size and how far away you might be sitting from a projector screen. This question would be best handled by one of our home theater experts in chat. - The right projector will usually come down to your needs, your room and budget, so if you need help deciding which one is right for you, come have a chat with one of our experts on audioadvice.io/aa-chat and we will be glad to help you you out! Thanks for watching.
Some tvs can upscale HD definition to 4k
What budget though?
We were explaining the pros and cons of each technology. Thanks for watching

tv's are expensive at 100 inches. a nice projector with a decent screen could cost you around $5k-$6k vs $10k-$15k for a nice TV.
Exactly, once you get above around 85" projectors make a whole lot of sense. Thanks for watching
It truly depends on space. Sitting seven to eight feet away from a 75" or 87" TV in a small room supplies plenty of immersion. The brilliance and clarity of a flat panel cannot be beat for the price. Add decent surround sound and you will have the theatrical experience.

Lol at your lol

You said it perfectly. Does the viewer want to watch a movie or experience a movie. I use a tv for tv and a projector for movies. Great videos as always Audio Advice!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
Assuming you only need to accommodate 1-2 people, if you sit closer to an 83" OLED TV vs sitting further from a 110" Projector Screen (same viewing angle in both cases) which would provide the best overall experience?
That becomes a personal decision, many people prefer the way a movie screen looks vs a TV, but about an equal number prefer a big TV. Thanks for watching
TV cause you can turn on day or night plus the connections like videos and tv best for your eyes
That’s a great point! Thanks for watching
Short Version: You want it quick and easy and have too much light in your room? Go TV
You truly love big Theater and are willing to go the extra mile. Go Projector.
Since i chose projector i wanna add some additional thoughts: If you still like 3D then DLP projectors are like the last displays sold that feature it. Some Projectors got incredible refreshe rate and short delays, if you where going to spend big money on those features anyways consider a projector.
Thanks for sharing. That sums it up pretty well, although the short throws can get you into a bigger image and overcome some light in the room
Great video. I never knew you could get a dedicated projector for short distances. One thing I'd mention in future vids is gaming. I use to game on a projector back in the xbox 360 days. But I havent kept up with projectors since. Whichever room has the best audio system is where my console will be set up. Curious as to how well projectors keep up with console such as latency, VRR, and 120hr
Thanks for the suggestion, that is a great point. A lot of the newer projectors are great for gaming! Thanks for watching.
Sony X95k 85” for life! Love this channel 🎉! This channel makes me cheer for joy!
Glad you enjoy!!
Big Screen in little room, eye strain getting bigger bcoz eye need rotate large arias left to right...

@@AudioAdvice cheers from Sri Lanka!
As for a differences between OLED and LED TVs, LED TVs handle motion/action scenes better right? For example, a person running across the screen on an OLED TV you'll laggy images trailing behind vs an LED tv you wont. True or false?
True but depends on source. 24p content on a 120hz source i really dont see any lag on my A80J compared to my lcd monitor but it was def noticeable when using a 60hz source.
Yes, that is correct, however, we do feel the Sony video processor does the best job of motion of anything we have seen out there
Projector is good for Watching everything also making link with any device would you like to watch in ( TV just a device for watching streaming and choice a movie for watching by tv or making link some devices to watch in ) But projector you need a piper screen for watch or a white background , that’s mostly just a room watching, but tv anywhere you can watch, so the best choice is a tv because is the official but projector is most for office or something important or students or teachers projector from project it means something you want to make and share it in a focusing.
Thanks for sharing!
I am looking for projector TV that has a video input video output capable of transferring the signal from an aerial TV station or cable satellite. I mean, that can get the TV connection and project it on a wall. Could you please advise me of any possible model.
From the desk top or laptop, we can connect the video or movie into the wall using any projector. What about TV signals?
We do not know of a projector with a tuner built in. You would need a separate tuner, but the other problem is you need a projector with a speaker, we only have the Epson short throw models with a speaker, and the sound is not very good. If you are going with a projector, you should do a separate home theater speaker system. Thanks for watching
Hey I’m planning on a home theatre I’m confused, my room is 10” wide 20” depth, so oled tv is better or projector (we can control the light in that room)
If you want a big picture, you will want a projector.
So are people watching cable TV on their projector screen, and do the aspect ratio settings saved for each input?
Good question. A front projector will need a home theater receiver. While you could in theory have it switch with an automation system for each input it’s better to just put the aspect ratios on the smart remote. Some cable content might be widescreen and not all Blu-ray Discs are widescreen. Thanks for watching
2024 ur suggestion pls.. TV r projector?
It will depend on your needs. This video is still accurate today. You can always chat with our team at audioadvice.com for more help if needed!
Great summary, and I think the approach you've outlined will help people choose the right display for their individual situations. We have a 75" TV in our Family Room, for all the reasons you've indicated - bright picture, no worry about light in the room, etc. But in order to feel like I'm really 'going to the movies', we head into the Theater Room, where the immersiveness of a 160" 2.40:1 screen and front projector just can't be beat.
Exactly! Thanks for watching!
Smart projectors like XGIMI are easy to set up and good for eye health, I'd definitely choose a projector over a TV.
Thanks for sharing!
You did not mention the option to install the center channel behind an ATS which adds a lot to immersion.
Yes, this was more of a very high level comparison, but we totally agree! Thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice gotcha
A bright projector is key. Most everything you see in the world is reflected light. Projectors are awesome.
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
Is a fart reflected light?
How are you going to reflect black? Wouldn't the darks color you can create be the color of the screen
@@poisonpotato1 youre never gonna have the blacks that you have on a tv. I have a light grey screen and the contrast is amazing. When the lights are low, blacks are blacks. Watching a movie at night is much less strenuous on your eyes as well. And if you get a nice projector the dynamic range is going to be excellent
@@michael-4k4000 Maybe a deflected shite 🤔
Projector doesn't last long
If it is lamp based, yes, you will need to replace the lamp.
Projectors forever👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
We sure love projectors for a dedicated home theater room!
Can I get tv stations on projector
You would need a separate tuner or just stream them with your Roku, Apple TV, etc.
Yeah, projector era is gone,
There is still nothing like a wall to wall screen! Thanks for watching
Projector better to me
Thanks for sharing!
I am so sorry but i am more confused now ….. my issue is i am crazy with quality of picture like dolby vision hdr 4k content which is better on a tv always but ill get a 86 inch display only with same price i can get 120 inch but lack all these emerging technologies with true working nature then.
If you care about absolute best picture quality, go with a TV with all the latest tech. Something like the Sony A95L would be a great choice. Chat with our team at audioadvice.com if you need more help!
Majority of streaming content is Dolby Vision. And man do I miss it watching the latest shows when in my epson projector. If tvs over 97’ are around $10,000 then gimme that brightest hdr in my future theater.
Yes, the future could be interesting. Thanks for watching
Perfect video, i keep bouncing back and forth on which one i want, thanks for this info. My only other factor is gaming, between an OLED and BIG SCREEN Projector, i am a movie and game buff. I love all the tech TV's have brought in with HRD and DV, ALLM, etc. Are projectors getting closer to getting those types of things? I am still in the planning phase of my theater and constantly updating what i want to put in it. But those are a couple more things that keep my mind in circles lol. Thanks again!
They sure are getting really good! For example, the new Sony VPL-XW line of projectors support 4K 60 Hz input with an input lag under 21 ms, and 2K 120 Hz input with an input lag under 13 ms. That’s really awesome!
@@AudioAdvice That is good, so we are getting closer to blurring the lines. Do you think we'd ever see an HDR or DV, that color or brightness POP those bring? I am sure the 120 4k is around the corner the rate these are going. By the time i get moved into our new house and begin my theater setup, the tech may be there. Or they will have a 150in TV lol, out of my price range of course lol.
@@ThommyGunnGaming epson ls12000 supports full hdmi 2.1 meaning 4K /120hz at 16.8 ms!
@@kohfu1724 Thats great news, thank you for that info! Appreciate you!
I worked for Epson as a service technician for 2yrs. Don't waste your money buying projectors. I won't say more than that
So if we ever get to the point we can have a good tv that is big enough for a theater room, would it be better than a projector set to the same size? Or would they be the same?
There are pros and cons to using TV in a theater room, even if it's the same size. Many believe that no matter what, a projector has a more cinematic look than a large TV.
So I really need a projector for my room. All I need is for the projector to make a 55 inch “screen”
You will have to put one very close to the screen to accomplish that and you may have trouble finding one that can produce an image so small
Thank you for your video and great information but can you please tell me how can I connect and watch TV channels in projector?

Too much useless talk
I feel unknown good feel on watch with projector. This feel can't provide from TV. I don't know name for the feel.
Thanks for sharing, it is that feeling you get when you are in a commercial movie house.

Projector is environmental friendlier and soon 3 dimensions coming too
We love projectors!

The projector would only be used best in dark rooms anyway
Typically yes. Although some of the short throw models with ALR screens work well in a media room
you i a of like a speaker or supwofer.

Do projectors last longer than tvs ?
That’s a great question. The new laser-based projectors have about a 20,000 hour life. The lamp base projectors do need to have the lamp replaced every 1000 to 4000 hours of use. Thanks for watching.
I bought a rvc projector . It's great all you need a labtop fan under it works great. I can't hang tv on the wall here. It's nice to have if u can't have tv on the walls. This video is nice . (:

Thanks for sharing. How is the image quality on that model? We have not seen the 98” one but we’re somewhat disappointed with the other sets we have seen from them. Thanks for watching
New sub ! Liked ! ✌️
Thanks! Hope you enjoy 😎
Generally I don't see the advantage to a projection screen. Simply view a projection screen side by side with a direct view screen. There's a HUGE difference in fidelity, color, and quality of the image. "Bigger" is no substitute for quality. Even a real movie theater projector won't come close to a direct view screen.
It is an advantage if you want an immersive image and to many people the picture coming off a screen looks closer to real life. Thanks for sharing
@@AudioAdvice "immersive" Meaning big, not quality? Sounds a bit like saying "our orange juice is totally watered down but we make it in bulk, so you want bulk, right?"
@@frosted1030 Not at all. You should experience a really good home theater for yourself one day and you will see what we mean.
@@AudioAdvice Until you have them side by side at the same scale, what are you comparing? "Oh, the large dim one at twice the price, that's for me!"? Is this what you are selling? It's hard to sell a $10,000 "experience" when most people can quickly see a difference between that and a decent $1000 display in brightness, refresh rate, measurable color quality, and integration into real-world situations. Most living rooms are not going to have theater setups. In fact, most people are still placing TVs above mantels (if they are large) or opposite windows/doors/light sources.
In building a "home theater" do you find many people making less than $50,000 a year willing to blow more than half a year's salary on this project? See, some of us have to live in the real world where decisions have to be made like the old "food or medicine". We can't just renovate an entire room for low fidelity poor performance (but hey, it looks kinda like a theater) experience.
I encourage you to compare apples to apples. Get a decent HDR TV and set it up next to your best projection TV in the same room, side by side. See which one looks better. Which one performs better axis. Which one has better color out of the box. ETC.
@@frosted1030 you got it backward.. The whole point of a projector is to have a huge screen at the same cost as a smaller TV. No one is saying the projector is giving you a better image than a TV
Projektor laser tv
Thanks for watching!
I know, get both?
Yes!
Jk! Stick with tv. Unless u have a completely light controlled environment
@@AudioAdvice for life!
So basically if budget is not a concern, which one would you personally recommend??
I just want the best experience in terms of visuals and audio.
We would recommend a projector. There are lots of choices for those and the audio portion. Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com to talk about the options.
@@AudioAdvice Okay, I know that a projector is ideal when it comes to size.
But does it have the best picture quality??
Let's say if I want HDR, Dolby Vision and perfect black levels. Will a projector provide me with all of that??
@@princesmith8008 If you want to watch a TV instead of what feels like a movie theater experience, you will get more of what you want in a TV. No projector has Dolby Vision. But until you have watched a movie with a great projector on a large screen, its hard to describe how different that is to watching on a TV. The creators of the content make it to be viewed on a large screen.
@@AudioAdvice Yeah I'm sure using a projector is more immersive than a TV because of the size, that's understandable.
But what if I get a huge TV that is over 100 inch or something??
@@princesmith8008I have a hard time believing anything that is lower contrast can look better. A 100 inch TV has to look better than a 100 inch projector.
But then I am one of those people who has always been disappointed with the black levels of the image in an actual theatre. But then again I'm also 23 and grew up in the OLED age
Haven't owned a tv in 36 years. Don't miss it. Real life is much more interesting rather then hiding away in a darkened room being programmed by a media company. Instead of watching pretend life in a room (which is all faked anyway with actors, scripts, FX and a storyline), go do it yourself, you will be glad you did.
Wow, we agree real life is more interesting, but not so much after dark when most people watch TV.
Said after you watched a video on TH-cam. Much different than tv....
I wouldn't miss the tv's from 36 years ago either
So you want me to fly a Jet with Tom Cruise? Instead of watching Top Gun on my house?
The dream set up, projector bright and capable for gaming, and allows for surround sound, inside a mini theatre room. Gaming for gods. 🤩🥹
