In the current era of increasing size of large-screen TVs and continuous decline, is the projector about to withdraw from the stage of history? Recently, the many giant screen TVs unveiled at the CES show have raised such questions. However, despite the fact that the 98-inch TCL S5 TV is now $2,000 and is extremely cost-effective, we don't think the projector has come to an end.
Although the ** of large-screen TVs is unprecedentedly close to the people, TVs that exceed 100 inches are still prohibitive due to their high cost. For example, the just-released Hisense UX 110-inch and TCL QM89 115-inch TVs are expected to sell for $1Between $50,000 and $20,000. Therefore, for large screens over 100 inches, the projector configuration is still a more economical choice. In particular, the ** of ultra-short throw projectors is declining, and there are already many high-quality options on the market.
It's worth noting that brands like HiSense, which sells both large TV screens and laser TVs, have not neglected the projector market. D**id Gold, president of HiSense, said at CES that they see projectors and TVs as complementary products to meet consumer demand for a home theater-quality experience.
As for why there is less news about projectors in CES reports, the reason is that time is limited, and there are many brands on the market, such as Benq, Epson, Hisense, LG, Samsung, AWOL, XGIMI, Xiaomi, Formovie, etc., which cannot be reported in detail.
In addition, in response to readers' questions about the choice of meeting room equipment, if the budget is between $1,500 and $3,000 and the meeting room is well lit, it is recommended to choose a large-screen TV instead of a projector. Not only is the brightness guaranteed, but the built-in speaker also saves the trouble of external speakers, especially for Google Meet** meetings and smart function use scenarios, large-screen TVs with built-in Chromecast are more convenient.
For HDMI EARC signal switching issues, you may need to trigger the HDMI handshake process in a specific way to ensure that the audio is transmitted properly. If you're having trouble switching sources, you can try turning your device off and on, or look for a high-quality HDMI switcher that forces a new handshake to solve the problem.
