While many projectors have much brighter lumens than previous models. You still have to have the ability to control your lighting as well as block light from outside.

You are going to need both the space to install a screen and the depth to have the projector far enough away from the screen to project on your screen. First you can mount a manual or motorized drop-down screen from your ceiling. You could also mount a fixed screen to your wall, so long as you’re willing to sacrifice the space. You could also paint your wall with a special projection-screen paint.

A good A/V receiver is an important part of any home theater, and because projectors often have fewer connection ports than TVs, they are perfect for projector setups. If you plan to connect just a single device to your projector and have a sound system you can connect to it, be that a Blu-ray player or game console, then you don’t necessarily need any additional equipment. But since most projectors have only one HDMI input, you’ll need an A/V receiver to connect multiple devices. An HDMI switcher is also an option, but an A/V receiver is better: it will also provide sound to your speaker system – you definitely want a sound system, projectors have very weak speakers, if they have them at all.
