Projectors vs TVs: Why Bigger Is Always Better — And Why Projectors Are Stealing the Show
For years, homeowners had one big question when upgrading their entertainment space:
TV or projector?
Today, the answer is clearer than ever.
With massive screen sizes, jaw-dropping image quality, and technology that has advanced light-years ahead of what projectors used to be, projectors are now delivering picture quality that is truly out of this world — while offering something TVs simply can’t:
👉 Size. Real cinematic size.
At Aura Design, we design and install both high-end TVs and projection systems — and one thing is certain:
Bigger is always better.

Screen Size: Where Projectors Completely Win
Even the largest TVs eventually hit a wall — literally and financially.
Projectors don’t.
With modern projection systems, Aura Design regularly installs:
-
100" screens
-
120" screens
-
135" screens
-
150"+ cinematic setups
-
Dedicated home theatre screens up to 180"
To put it simply:
-
A large TV feels impressive
-
A projector feels immersive
Once you go beyond 85" or 98", the experience stops feeling like “watching TV” and starts feeling like being inside the movie.
“But What About Picture Quality?” — That’s Changed Everything
This is where many homeowners are shocked.
Modern projectors now deliver:
-
4K and 8K resolution
-
HDR with incredible contrast
-
Stunning brightness levels
-
Exceptional colour accuracy
-
Razor-sharp detail, even on massive screens
When paired with:
-
Proper room design
-
Professional calibration
-
High-quality screens
…the image quality rivals — and often surpasses — what most TVs deliver at a fraction of the size.
This is why more homeowners are saying:
“I didn’t know projectors looked this good now.”
The Cinematic Experience TVs Can’t Replicate
A projector doesn’t just give you a bigger picture — it gives you a different experience.
-
No glowing rectangle dominating the room
-
Softer, more natural light
-
Less eye fatigue during long viewing sessions
-
True cinema-style immersion
This is why projectors are ideal for:
-
Movie nights
-
Sports viewing
-
Gaming
-
Luxury home theatres
-
Media rooms designed for impact
It’s the difference between watching content and experiencing it.
TVs Still Matter — And Aura Design Does Both
Let’s be clear: TVs still have a place.
Ultra-bright rooms, casual viewing spaces, kitchens, and everyday living areas often benefit from premium TVs — especially in the 65" to 98" range.
That’s why Aura Design does it all:
-
Premium TVs
-
Ultra-short-throw projectors
-
Traditional long-throw projectors
-
MicroLED walls
-
Dedicated home theatre systems
We don’t push one solution — we design the right solution for your space, lifestyle, and expectations.
Projectors Aren’t Just for Dark Basements Anymore
Today’s projection technology works beautifully in:
-
Dedicated theatres
-
Living rooms
-
Open-concept spaces
-
Bright environments (with the right screen)
Ultra-short-throw projectors paired with ambient-light-rejecting screens are redefining what’s possible — even in daylight.
This is no longer “old-school projection.”
This is next-generation home cinema.

👉 Once you go big, you never go back.
