Speakers
Most in-ceiling and in-wall speakers will be passive speakers. This means they do not need to be plugged into a power source they do however need to be connected to an AV Receiver or amplifier which will act as both a sound and power source.
Projectors
This is personal preference, if you are undecided on which is the best projector for you why not book a demo? Our specialists will show you the latest projectors side by side so you can see the picture quality for yourself. Book a demo here
4K refers to a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, a total of about 8.3 million pixels. A Native, or True, 4K projector will deliver all 8.3 million pixels and each pixel is individually addressable on the screen.
A 4K UHD projector will provide a 4K image at a lower price by using pixel shifting technology. The projector rapidly shifts each pixel on the screen providing a faux 4K resolution. These projectors often provide excellent image at a fraction of the price of a Native 4K projector.
Want to see the difference with your own eyes? Book a projector shootout and see which projector you prefer.
Projector brightness is measured in lumens, in theory the higher the lumens the brighter the projector will be. For home cinema projectors we would suggest opting for a product with at least 2000 lumens.
The simple answer is yes. With the addition of an AV Receiver you can connect anything that you would normally watch on a TV to your projector. This includes Sky boxes, Fire sticks, Apple TV and gaming consoles. We have a great blog on this here: "Can I watch normal TV on a projector?"
In-Ceiling Speakers
Most in-ceiling and in-wall speakers will be passive speakers. This means they do not need to be plugged into a power source they do however need to be connected to an AV Receiver or amplifier which will act as both a sound and power source.
