NEC Solutions America
FOR YOUR
HOME
ARE YOU LOOKING TO TRANSFORM YOUR BASEMENT INTO A
HOME THEATER?
Have you been dreaming about converting the living room into a decorative yet usable space?
The couches, window treatments and paint are certainly important. But, selecting the right
large screen display to complete the room may be the most critical task ahead whether you are
a first-time buyer of the technology or home entertainment aficionado.
Today, there are an abundance of display choices available for the home beyond traditional TVs. A flood of new
technologies -- such as flat screens and lightweight projectors can be found in a wide range of screen sizes and
prices to fit virtually every room of the house.
Consumers are increasingly smitten by the beautiful, brilliant images and sleek, flat-screen designs offered from
plasma displays. Their sleek profile and extremely wide viewing angle addresses the functionality requirements
of rooms with minimal space, such as a living room, loft or even a bathroom. Plasma displays meet the rigorous
requirements of the most discerning home theater enthusiast, with brilliant image quality, accurate image reproduction and amazing brightness and contrast.
A PROJECTOR can offer the same vibrant, larger-than-life viewing experience as going to the movies while
being considered an attractive, practical display option for consumers. Many home entertainment projectors are
available in a compact, contemporary design that can be discreetly mounted to a wall or ceiling, but are adaptable enough to be removed from the room for other uses, like projecting the latest sci-fi thriller on the garage
or neighborhood movie night.

WHAT’S ATTRIBUTING TO THIS GROWTH?
HIGH DEFINITION CONTENT. Since all broadcasting is expected to be digital by 2006, a display product with
HDTV compatibility future-proofs the investment and eliminates concerns about technology obsolescence.
Likewise, display technology has played a significant role in progressing the emergence of media and content,
such as DVD’s, which enhance the overall viewing experience.
MORE INFORMATION AND BROADER ABILITY. The increased popularity and use of large screen display
products has led to a plethora of information about them. Along with increased awareness, projectors and
plasma displays have become more accessible and can now be purchased from the web, through a professional
installer and even in a local consumer electronics retail outlet.
COCOONING. Americans are spending more time at home and using display technology to connect with family
and friends. Projectors and plasma displays enable families to view “big screen” movies together, share digital
photos with long-distance relatives or invite the neighbors over to watch a favorite sporting event.
LOWER COSTS=MORE MAINSTREAM USE. What was once thought to be suited for only a “rich and famous”
lifestyle, large screen display technology is now a much more affordable reality for today’s conventional household. Many new home builders have even begun to offer display packages as an option so families can begin to
enjoy the benefits of the technology from the day they move in.
GREATER INTEREST. Because of their wide range of uses and capabilities, these products are attracting a
more diverse demographic. Women, for example, like the decorative look and space-saving functionality of a
plasma display, which can add style to a room while remaining up and out of the way of small children.
EASIER TO USE. You don’t have to be a “techie” to use a large screen display, in fact, many are as easy to use
as a regular TV. With color-coded inputs and cabling, quick start-up menus and intuitive, automatic features and
accessories, projectors and plasma displays can now be operated by almost anyone.
