Advantages of TV:
1. Display quality: TV usually has high resolution, high contrast and wide color gamut, which can provide clearer and more vivid picture quality, brighter colors and clearer images, especially on a small screen. Generally speaking, the resolution of TV can reach 3840*2 160, while the resolution of projector only reaches 1080P. Obviously, TV is superior in picture quality and clarity. In addition, TV is direct light and will not be affected by the light source, so you can enjoy watching programs at home no matter what the outdoor weather is like. If it is a projector, when the light is bright during the day, the picture will feel hazy and the viewing experience will be bad.

2. Convenient installation: the TV is convenient to install, just put it in a suitable position or hang it on the wall, without additional equipment or space, and its position is relatively fixed. The projector not only needs the machine itself, but also needs a projection surface and a large curtain if you want to get a better viewing experience, so you need to consider the projector angle, curtain distance and other factors.
3. Functionality: Modern TV usually has intelligent functions, supports online streaming media, applications and intelligent assistants, facilitates access to various contents and services, supports MIDI line switching, and can be used as the display of Switch, computers, PS5 and other devices. When playing games with a projector, the delivery experience is not as good as that of a TV because of poor color resolution.
4. Suitable for small space: For a small living room or bedroom, TV is a practical choice, because it does not need extra projection distance and can provide a good visual experience in a limited space. The projector needs to consider the projection angle and distance.
Advantages of the projector:
1. big screen experience: the projector can produce large-size images, providing viewers with a more realistic and immersive cinema experience, especially suitable for watching movies, sports events and other large-scale activities. It is almost impossible for a TV to reach the size of a projector. Even if there is such a big TV, apart from the space occupied by the screen, the bigger the screen, the higher the TV price, which ordinary people will be unbearable.
2. Flexibility: The projector can adjust the projection size according to needs to adapt to the space and projection distance in different places, so that it has advantages in various scenes.
3. Private theater: For home theater lovers, the projector is a better choice, because it can create an effect similar to home theater and provide a more private and exclusive viewing experience.
4. Mobility: Portable projectors are highly portable and can be taken to different places, such as friends' homes or business demonstrations, to share content more conveniently.
5. Vision protection: The light of TV is directly emitted from TV, which can be compared to a flashlight pointing directly at the eyes. Watching for a long time may lead to visual fatigue, and the light from the projector will be reflected into our eyes through the curtain, and the intensity of the light will be slightly weaker and softer than that of the computer, so it has certain eye protection advantages.
Overview of the difference between TV and projector;
Size: TV usually has a fixed size, while the size of the projector depends on the projection distance and can be adjusted.
Projection distance: Projectors need a certain projection distance to get a larger picture size, but TVs don't.
Installation: TV installation is simple, but the location is relatively fixed. However, if you want to install the curtain on the projector, you may need more adjustment and installation steps. However, the projector body is flexible and convenient, so it can be closed and taken away when not in use.
Flexibility: TV is not easy to carry, and the projector is small and convenient.
Clarity: TV direct light, better screen clarity and color, projectors rely on large white walls and curtains, will be affected by ambient light.
Cost-effective ratio: A cheap TV may be smaller, but a projector with the same cheap price (regardless of curtain installation) can experience a larger screen, and it is more flexible, convenient and portable, which is very friendly to young renters. Personally, I think the projector is more cost-effective.
In the long run, which equipment is better depends on personal needs and uses. If you are looking for high-quality images and convenient installation, TV may be a better choice. Especially in small space and daily watching, TV provides a convenient solution.
However, if you are looking for a larger screen size and a cinema-like viewing experience, and there is enough space, the projector may be more suitable for you. Projectors perform particularly well in the home theater environment, allowing you and your family to enjoy the feeling of theater at home. At the same time, because it is easy to carry, it is also suitable for commercial demonstrations or educational scenes, and can provide more flexible display methods.
For example, if you are a movie fan and want to build a private cinema at home, then the projector is a better choice. But if you live in a small apartment with limited space, it may be more appropriate to choose a high-quality TV.
According to my personal experience, my living room is relatively small and lacks a large area of white wall for projection, so our living room is equipped with a TV, and the TV monitor is connected to a desktop computer. Therefore, TV can be used as a set-top box or computer monitor for projection (such as movies or live broadcasts). And if your bedroom has a large space and a large white wall, it is also a good choice to buy a projector instead of TV. Not only can you sit on the bed and watch the projection screen on the wall, but you can even lie down and watch it. The ceiling can be used as your screen.
At the same time, you need to consider the audience members in your family. If there are elderly people at home, it is recommended to choose traditional TV. After all, the operation is more in line with the traditional usage habits of the elderly. Moreover, if there are many young members in the family, they are interested in the atmosphere, and there is little demand for watching movies during the day. It is still very fragrant to watch the live broadcast with the projector!
