Should I Use a Projector for my Home Theater and How to Connect your Smartphone

by andrewthecableninja Leave a comment

Although so many of are chasing 4K TVs, 1080p TVs, and all sorts of flat-screens, going with a projector for your home theater system can be way more affordable alternative.

Let us share a little secret about home theater projectors. The screen size is adjustable and you can connect your smartphone and/or almost any device to your projector. Whether you’re watching Netflix, enjoying a full-length movie on your Blu-ray player, or catching up with something on your DVR, you can still enjoy all these things on a projector.

 

All in all, you won’t need to spend $1,000s on a massive flat-screen. You can get the same sized screen with a projector at a fraction of what you’d spend on a 4K TV. There’s almost no comparison, cost-wise. This is a massive reason why many Canadians choose to go with a projector over a screen.

 

Using a projector, you’ll also notice how it saves on space. For example, you can mount a projector against the back wall and you don’t need to contend with setting it up on a table. You’ll also save on not having a big screen on a mount or TV table. It can be a big change for some households but we’ve heard very few regrets after they’ve made the change. You don’t even need to have a projector screen set up per se in order to enjoy your projector.

 

If you’re looking to connect your smartphone, it’s very easy to do. If your projector or anything connected to it such as a media streaming box is not Bluetooth-enabled, you can use an HDMI to USB cable or adapter to make that connection. As long as you have the right equipment, it’s as easy as plugging in your smartphone to get it synced up.

 

Universally speaking, so much of us prefer flat-screens but we haven’t tried a projector as an alternative. If you’re serious about creating a theatrical home theater system, a projector really does make it feel like you’re watching in a theater. It’s a great way to enjoy 1080p movies, binge-watching Netflix, watching sports with friends, or enjoying yourself on a night-off. Consider it the next time you’re looking to upgrade to something new for your home theater system.

 

Shop projectors, projector mounts, and projector screens at PrimeCables, and see big discounts you won’t find anywhere else. Affordable and yet amazingly powerful, projectors make for an amazing tool in your home theater arsenal. Shop these products and more at Canada’s own PrimeCables.

How to Connect a MacBook to a TV

by andrewthecableninja Leave a comment

Connecting your MacBook to a TV is made easy thanks to this official PrimeCables guide! Remember, contemporary MacBooks are unlike their predecessors in the sense that they use a single video port instead of a mini DisplayPort slot. This must be taken into account when connecting a MacBook to your TV.

 

The first step is to identify which video ports you are working with. Anything produced after 2015 should have a single USB Type-C port. If you are using a MacBook manufactured 2011 or earlier, expect to find a mini DisplayPort. Next, ensure your MacBook has been charged. Newer MacBooks use the same port to charge and act as an output, thereby it will need to be charged before plugging it into the TV.

 

From here, you’ll need to purchase a MacBook adapter cable, more specifically an adapter for USB-C to HDMI. MacBooks using mini DisplayPort connectors will need a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cables. Also, if you don’t know where to find a cable adapter like this, you can search one out on PrimeCables’ site. There you’ll find great deals on cables, adapters, and PC accessories. Needless to say, it’s a sit well worth bookmarking. You should be able to find a cheap adapter cable that is still high quality and well manufactured.

 

After you have your adapter in-hand and before connecting anything, shut off the TV as not to accidentally damage anything. Next, plug in the HDMI connector into your TV’s port. Ensure it’s fully inserted. Next, attach the other end of the cable to your MacBook.

 

Now, turn on your TV and switch it to the HDMI input.  There, you should see your MacBook’s screen displayed on your flat-screen in crystal clear resolution. If there are any issues, go to your MacBook, click on the Apple menu, go into ‘System Preferences’, click on ‘Displays’, and then, you should be able to change resolutions accordingly. If your TV is high-definition, you can play with the resolution to maximize the viewing experience as you prefer it. You may also want to open the sound menu, click ‘Output’, and select the speakers you want access to.

 

It’s that simple! That’s how you connect your MacBook to a TV. If you run into any trouble, it should be relatively straightforward to find a solution via the inputs on your flat-screen or using your MacBook.

Basic Knowledge before Purchasing your TV on Black Friday

by andrewthecableninja Leave a comment

If you find yourself waiting for Black Friday to buy a TV, you’re not alone. These are some basics we think you should know before spending any money prior to the biggest shopping day of the year.

 

Remember, even if you don’t live in a household where you watch a lot of TV, when you need your TV, you’ll be glad to have it. Every year in North America, more than 10 percent of the population buys a new flat-screen in the weeks leading up to February’s Super Bowl. Despite this, the best deals on high-definition flat-screens tend to come in November with Black Friday. Be it small, medium sized, or large; or 720p, 1080p, or 4K, there are deals on everything top to bottom worth considering this Black Friday if you’re in the market.

 

1080p is still the preferred video resolution in 2018

 

The most preferred resolution for computer monitors, projector video quality, and TVs, especially if it’s a screen larger than thirty-five inches, is 1080p. Settling for anything less, you’ll notice degradation of detail and loss of quality. That said, 720p is also high quality and can capture significant detail. If you’re shopping solely for a 4K TV, know that in order to achieve 4K video quality, one must have not only screen capabilities but the right mix of cables, receivers, and home theater elements. For many households, seeing everything in 4K just won’t be possible.

 

Canadians believe bigger is better – in numbers and in size

 

Your Black Friday 2018 TV is likely going to be bigger in size than what you’ve had previously. Canadians love bigger TVs and more advanced specifications, even if they don’t necessarily know what they mean or plan to use them like that. If you’re looking to save money, you may not need to get all the specifications up to their maximum capacity. Know why you’re using your television and buy accordingly. Size is something easily seen and though it’s not everything, an appropriate size for the room can really enhance the home theater experience.

 

There are cheaply priced TVs out there made high quality

 

Though the TV industry focused a lot on branding, Canadian consumer behaviour show us branding doesn’t mean a whole lot. A lot of the time, consumers want the cheapest TV possible without compromising too much on the quality. Naturally, that varies from person to person though. That said, just because it’s a Samsung HDTV 1080p, that doesn’t mean it’s right for your home. You may find you’ll be paying more for a Samsung product, in comparison with an off-brand television from a lesser known competitor. There are lower-priced high quality alternative out there worth browsing.

How to Choose a TV Mount under your budget?

by andrewthecableninja Leave a comment

There’s a lot of reasons why Canadians have switched from TV tables to TV wall mounts. Choosing the right wall mount, you will find yourself having saved on space in the room – which is a huge benefit for those of us working with small basements or condos. Then, there’s the elevation of the TV creating a safer space for kids and pets. After all, no one is going to knock over a flat-screen that’s affixed to the wall. Above all else, a TV wall mount provides the homeowner a chance to set an optimum viewing angle for how they want to watch their flat-screen. If you’ve had problems with light, glare, or trouble physically seeing the action on screen, a mount will help.

 

Choosing the right TV wall mount involves several considerations that need to be made. For example, things like screen size will dictate what mounts one is eligible for. The exact size of the home theater space they are working with will also indicate what mount type may be best. For example, there are basic, fixed models that start as low as under-$10. Then, there are tilt TV mounts, tilt and swivel TV amounts, full motion TV mounts, pull-down TV mounts, and ceiling TV mounts. If you are unsure on where to start, we might recommend the tilt mount with safety lock for TVs between 26” and 50” for only $5.99. As one of the more basic models, this is a great starting point to figuring out what you like and what you don’t like in your mount.

 

If you want to go all out and choose a TV wall mount that has a lot of motion to it, there’s no shortage of selections in the catalogue. There’s the full motion TV wall mount for TVs 17” to 42” for $12.99, the official PrimeCables full motion TV wall mount for flat-panel TVs between 37” and 70” for $39.99, and then, there’s the Stable Series full motion wall mount model for extra-large displays with a maximum weight capacity of 175 pounds. If you have a heavier TV, safety must always be taken into account. Don’t try to put a square peg into a round hole and ensure that when installing the mount, the studs in the wall are used to maintain its weight. The last thing you want is for damage to occur so be sure to follow all instructions included.

 

Buy your next TV wall mount with PrimeCables and receive fast, free shipping to anywhere across the ten provinces on orders above $49. There are dozens of possible mounts to choose from and even to home theater experts, the quality of our products stand on their own. Shop today for the best prices in Canada.
