6 Ways to Impress with your Home Theatre Projector

1. Create the ultimate home entertainment.

So you've got your new, sleek high definition projector? You can't get enough of that incredible 120 inch (or more!) screen? Throw in a home surround system and say goodbye to the cinemas forever. Why squeeze with an unruly crowd when you can savour the entire on your own? Well, not really so much on your own?­, you didn't really spend all that money to keep a secret. Let all your friends who come say WOW.

2. Love the action movie? Live it with gaming on big screen.

Hook your game system onto your home theatre projector. Save Private Ryan with Call of Duty. If you thought first shooter games aren't interactive enough for the audience, you WERE right. But when you are the Band of Brothers life size on the big screen, your friends will think they're simply watching a director's cut version of the series. That is, until "GAME OVER" shocks the lot of you back to reality.

Tip: Adjust to suit the native resolution of your source to reduce upscaling lag for best gaming experience.

3. I have the thinnest tv, ever.

No one said that your home theatre projector have to be specially made for movies. Use your projector as your regular tv set. Use this luxury like it's just a common item in your home. See your friends gape the next time you watch tv with your friends. They might feel the standard tv programmes aren't really that boring anymore.

Tip: Going for DLP projectors eliminates phosphor burn in that could result from overuse of particular pixels.

4. Have anyone seen my computer screen?

All you need now is your portable CPU, a HDMI/DVI cable and your pocket size home theatre projector. Carry them anywhere, and whenever you need to use them, throw your computer screen onto a wall. Now you have the first big screen computer that is portable. Show those laptop huggers how portable doesn't mean eye squinting small.

Tip: Go for projectors with high brightness so that it can be used in lit areas.

5. I did not know my home theatre projector could do this.

So you have yourself an expensive home theatre projector. What else could be better than that? Having additional nifty features installed, of course! Imagine what your friend would say when you show him a wireless projector. Adjust your projector options with a wireless mouse control. Let your projector perform it auto-brightness and keystone correction, amaze yourself and say "I didn't know it could do this!".

6. Bring your home theatre projector out

Bring you home theatre projector anywhere with you. Flash it out whenever you visit your friend's place. Introduce them to the home theatre experience. Save on house warming gifts; help provide entertainment to their guests instead. If you can't be the life of the party, you can always be the one that brings life.

Tip: Buy a plug and play type projector. Preferably with keystone correction and lens shift for flexibility in projector placement. Go for brightness too.
