The Pros & Cons of TVs vs. Projectors

Projector systems have long reigned supreme in home theaters. After all, TVs aren’t large enough to create the cinematic, immersive experience you expect to see in a movie theater. 

That is until recently. Brands like Sony have been manufacturing LED and OLED displays in larger dimensions than ever, now reaching 100 inches wide with the Sony BRAVIA XR X92. At more than eight feet in length, Sony’s 100-inch television can rival the image size of a home theater projector. 

But which should you use in your home theater design—a projector or 100-inch TV? We compare both below to help you find the best choice. 

And if you’re looking for a home theater installation in the Dallas, TX, area, contact Texadia Systems to learn more.

If you’re thinking about installing a home theater soon, you typically have two options: to use a projector system or TV. 

In the past, most homeowners opted for a projector and retractable screen to achieve cinema-sized visuals, since most TVs weren’t large enough. But today, you can enjoy stunning 4K video on 100 inches—that’s over eight feet—with the Sony BRAVIA XR X92. 

The Sony BRAVIA will surely give you enough space and dimension to feel like you’re in your own movie theater. But if you’re still unsure how it compares to a projector, we share everything you need to know below.

Discover the Difference in Surround Sound for Your Home Theater or Music Enjoyment

When you’re in a movie theater, you never have to strain to hear what’s happening. In fact, the sounds of the film may be so powerful that you’re moved to tears or goosebumps.

And at a concert, music will fill the hall or stadium, bouncing off walls with a crowd around you, bass notes buzzing the floor. That might be too loud for your home enjoyment—but what if you could bring that immersion and sound quality to your Texas house?

At home, to experience movies and music like they were intended to be, a surround sound system will envelop you in sound. But how do you get started? What speakers do you need? As Dallas area’s top AV consultant, we’ll share all you’ll need for surround sound below.

Take Your Entertainment Beyond the Living Room Setup

When we install home theaters, we carefully design the system to support that immersion and transform the room into a real cinema. In this blog, we'll explore some design tips and ideas to help you craft the perfect home theater experience.
