Using the Dell 1800MP Projector in Your Home Theater

Image : http://www.flickr.com

Following the recent purchase of a new home, I decided to set up a home theater in my basement daily. I bought a couch, put blackout blinds and found a 106 "HDTV format screen. However, after all, that I did not have much money left to buy a more expensive home cinema projector. I had a Dell 1800MP projector kicking around that I bought used for presentation data, so I decided to try to connect to their theater. Here are some helpful tips for those who might beconsidering something like …

1st 1800MP is equipped with vertical keystone correction. This means that if you need to point the projector up or down to correct keystone effect. However, it is not equipped with horizontal keystone correction. In order to obtain the square image that you need to make sure that you have the projector is centered with your screen. Otherwise, on the one hand, the figure to be higher than others.

2nd Find thatDell 1800MP comes with either HDMI or DVI port. I was able to connect the projector to my Media Center PC using the VGA cable and it looks great. However, the picture via S-Video did not look nearly as sharp. If you want great looking images for the purchase of cable that converts component video to VGA.

3rd Dell 1800MP is not very many opportunities to enlarge the image size or setting. This means that you need to place the projectorcorrect distance from the screen to an image to be the correct size screen. For my 106 "diagonal 16:9 HDTV format screen I had on the screen approximately 16 'from the wall. Before I went to the projector to the ceiling, I simply decided that before I found the right place where the projector would fill the entire screen.

4th Many places will charge you arm and a leg for mounting on a wall. However, you should be able to liftreasonable holder unnamed site on-line auction for about $ 30 including postage. The one I got has the ability to swivel the projector so that it can be pointed down or to the side slightly. This really came in handy when I tried to get the projector set up with my video screen.

5th Menu for the Dell 1800MP has a lot of useful options in them, you will need. There is a setting that will flip the image so that the projector can be mountedupside down on the ceiling. There is also a setting that will change the aspect ratio of the projected image to 16:9 if you use widescreen display. Using these settings, along with the contrast, color and brightness controls to fine tune the picture until you are satisfied with the picture. If your room is really dark, you see black bars above and below the screen, because it is not widescreen 1800MP projector design. This is not really a big problem, but II thought I'd mention it.

I am the first to admit that the Dell 1800MP is not as good as HD 1080p projector that I was looking to buy. However, since Dell was only about $ 600 and I have to, I thInk it is quite a good choice. Plus, it works great with my Media Center.
