"Hello, Reggie Hayes here, with Expert Village. It's been a pretty busy day here talking about all this home theater stuff and hooking all these things up. But, let's take a second and talk about projectors. Now, remember earlier, back in some of the first segments we did, we talked about screens inside of your home? Most of you will probably will not need a projector in your home, but if you do have a big room, let's say you want to have your own movie theater, it is possible to get a screen and a projector system set up. They do have high definition projectors. I would say that a DLP, which means it's a lamp that's inside of a projector, is going to be probably your best bet, it's going to give you a real crystal clear picture. The drawback to projectors is that the lamp does burn out, you get anywhere from a thousand to five thousand hours worth of life on your lamp. They can be a little expensive, they can be anywhere from $500 to $1000 to replace the lamp, so that can be almost a third of the price of your projector. So, technology is still developing in that area, but explore those options, feel free to check around with things like that, but remember, when you go to figure out how far you need to sit from the TV, be sure that you measure your distance to the wall, otherwise it's going to be really hard on your eyes."
