If you’re looking for the perfect projector for your awesome home theater, you will find that it can be a little difficult to pick the right one with a lot of choices out there to choose from. Luckily for you, we have a list of great projectors for home theater use. This should get you started on your search for the ultimate projector for your home theater.

Sony VPL-HW30ES

This is a full HD projector that is one of the best, if not the best, in Sony’s line of projectors. It has improved a lot in terms of features when compared to its older brothers, but the most attractive thing about it is that it didn’t jump too high in price even after the major improvements. The most notable improvement is 3D capability. If you love watching 3D Blu-Ray content, this is one of your best options for an excellent home theater experience.

Optoma HD33

One of the cheapest 3D projectors available, the Optoma HD33 is a great choice for people on a budget. There may be some issues with contrast, particularly the fact that blacks are not as black in some cases. If that’s a big issue for you, this is a problem. But if it’s not, you will find that it’s attractive price and solid 3D support make this projector a winner.

Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8350

A lot of projectors for home theater offer a great price or great image quality. This one from Epson offers both. For less than $1,300, you can get excellent colors, clear images and great contrast out of the box. Shifting between viewing modes does not pose a problem because with a few minor adjustments in lumens output and color output, you can go from high light output mode to a solid video viewing mode.

Mitsubishi HC4000

The only issue with this projector is that it does not perform well with ambient light compared to other projectors in this list but other than that, it’s a solid performer thanks to its good throw distance and its bright cinema mode. This is why for really dark rooms, it’s hard to beat this projector. The throw distance makes it versatile too if you plan on using it in different room setups.

Panasonic PT-AE7000

To conclude this list of great projectors for home theater use, we have the Panasonic PT-AE7000. It is kind of funny that in default mode, it does not perform well for viewing movies because it has the tendency to be too bright especially in rooms with no ambient light. However, when in eco mode and with the right amount of ambient light, this projector does wonders.
