Big Screen TVs
If you like to watch first-rate movies on your TV and are thinking
about turning your living room into a "video theater," you're a
candidate for a bank loan and a big-screen television set. These
sets are often four to eight times as expensive as regular TVs, but
they can't be matched for realism and excitement.
By
"big-screen," I'm referring to sizes greater than 40 inches. (TV
screens are measured diagonally to get a larger number.
Keep in mind that the actual horizontal width will be a lot less.
That rules out sets that use standard screens, called
"direct-view" TVs.
Although sets from 29 inches to 35 inches are
often listed in the "big-screen" category, their pictures just
aren't big enough to qualify for home theater.
So your choice
for video theater comes down to two types of projection TVs -- ones
that bounce the picture against the back of the screen, called
rear-projection sets, and ones that shine the picture on the front
of the screen just like it's done in a movie theater.
A
front-projection set is the only way to go if you want a picture
measuring 6 feet or more.
