If you’re looking to buy a new TV and want to get the big screen experience then a projector like the affordable new ViewSonic Pro8520HD could be an option.
The ViewSonic Pro8520HD is a full high definition projector that can be used in home theatres and conference rooms.
The product can be used to project an image up to 300-inches in size.
The Pro8520HD has a 1.5x all-glass optical zoom lens that enables the projector to beam an image up to 40 per cent larger than a conventional projector.
Priced at $3,399, the ViewSonic projector offers value per inch when you consider this is the price you’d pay for the latest 60-inch LED TVs.
It has a brightness of 5,000 lumens and a contrast ratio of 15,000:1 and can work well even in high ambient light areas but it does work best in a dark room. The product is 33.3cm wide, 12.2cm high and and 26.3cm long and weighs 3.9kg.
If you’re lucky enough to have a dedicated room that you’re setting up as a home theatre then a projector can create a real cinema feel.
The ViewSonic Pro8520HD has a native 1920 x 1080 full high definition resolution, which means your movies or presentations will look pristine.
The ViewSonic projector integrates BrilliantColour technology to deliver accurate and vibrant images by using a 5-segment colour wheel to enhance overall colour reproduction.
Onboard are dual HDMI inputs so it can connect to a variety of sources including Blu-ray Disc players, gaming consoles, set-top-boxes, laptops, computers and even smartphones and tablets.
With the addition of the WPD-100 adaptor, the ViewSonic also has wireless connectivity and can project content from up to four PCs.
For presentations, the projector can also be used without a PC with slideshows or images displayed from a USB flash drive.
The ViewSonic Pro8520HD projector can be table or ceiling mounted and can integrate into a LAN (local area network) and monitoring system for complete control and remote projector status alerts.
It should be noted setting up a projector to use in the home theatres requires it to be integrated into separate speaker system and receiver along with a digital set-top box to watch free-to-air TV.
The ViewSonic Pro8520HD is available now and is priced at $3,399.
