Making television easy again. By Phillip Swann
Q. I am having a Home Theater installed in my basement and my tech guy (a neighbor) says I need a subwoofer to go with my Surround Sound speakers. What is a subwoofer? (I’m afraid to ask my neighbor because he’ll give me, well, grief, you know?) Do I really need to buy a subwoofer?
Q. I’ve always wanted a Home Theater with the classic projector and big screen that looks like a movie theater. But I have also always wondered if the projector picture is all that good? How would you compare it to a big-screen regular TV? — Carlo, Buffalo, New York. Carlo, I used a Sony 1080p
Q. I’ve been thinking of building my own Home Theater with a projector rather than a traditional TV. But I hear that projector lamps don’t last very long. Is that true? — Carl, Boston, Massachusetts. Carl, it depends on your definition of “very long.” But generally speaking, a LCD projector lamp should last between 2,000 and 3,000
