Home cinema projectors for big-screen football events

Home cinema professionals swear by 4K resolution. At 3840 x 2160 pixels, this offers four times as many pixels as Full HD and therefore delivers even sharper and more detailed projections.

A Full HD resolution is absolutely sufficient for watching football or the evening TV programme from time to time. With a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels in 16:9 format, it provides enough pixels for football matches and films.

Streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ have many 4K films in their portfolio. Live TV providers such as Sky Go, Telekom Magenta and DAZN also show sporting events such as the European Football Championship in 4K. If you are looking for a contemporary projector, go for a 4K projector.

Many projectors have a 1.1x or 1.2x zoom. This means you are quite limited when choosing the distance from the projector to the projection screens. A projector with flexible optics, on the other hand, offers a 1.6x to 2.1x zoom. This allows you to flexibly adjust the distance between the projector and the projection screen. You can use our projection area calculator to check whether each projector model is suitable for your living room.

With a projector with lens-shift, you can move the image vertically and horizontally without having to move or tilt the projector. The lens-shift function offers the advantage that you can move the image further down and hang the projector closer to the ceiling, especially when installing on the ceiling. Slight inaccuracies in the alignment of the projector can be easily corrected.

With fast image sequences, for example in football or racing, the intermediate image calculation is an advantage with a projector. With projectors that do not have this function, blurring can often be seen when the camera pans quickly. By inserting calculated intermediate images, the picture appears much smoother.

Wireless transmission has become increasingly popular. There are various options: Some projectors offer Smart TV features so that you can access apps from streaming services directly via the projector. You can also establish a wireless connection via Miracast or AirPlay. Alternatively, you can upgrade these functions with a Miracast adapter or via Apple TV.

The soundbar is the simple and affordable entry into home cinema. It nestles inconspicuously under the TV or screen and still delivers an impressive sound backdrop. A surround system delivers a much more immersive sound experience! A 5.1-channel set already offers an excellent home cinema experience. If you have a lot of space and want to experience the rear listening area even more intensively, go for a 7.1 system. It is important that your AV receiver supports 5.1 or 7.1 systems.

With Multiroom speakers, the entire home can be supplied with music. Depending on the system and manufacturer, the same music can be played in several rooms or different music can be played in parallel. Of course, you can also output home cinema or football sound via the speakers and create a stadium experience throughout the entire home!

Bluetooth speakers are excellent for fan parties in the garden or on the terrace. The Bluetooth loudspeaker can be connected to a notebook, smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth with an audio signal. Many projectors now also have a Bluetooth interface and can be connected directly to the speaker.
