Remember Dad’s slide and ciné shows? The latest home projection systems are on another level
by JONATHAN MARGOLIS
Since the coming of flat screen TVs, everything we watch looks like a large, pin-sharp and ultra-bright projection – even in a room with the lights on or in daylight.
So you’d think any form of home projector was now obsolete – that’s certainly the case with 35mm slide and ciné projectors.
Projection TV systems, however, are still made in large numbers, and are regarded as a luxury. Switching the lights off and turning your living room, bedroom or basement into a home cinema gives watching films a sense of occasion that simply having the TV on can’t match.
