I needed to buy a projector to play video games on. Can i buy any projector or do i have need of a spacific open-handed?
Answers: You can use almost any projector.
That said, you need to ensure it have suitable inputs to accept the output from your video console ... although this shouldn't be a problem since they are pretty standard. You want to use -- within increasing order of nouns -- S-video (round DIN jack), component (three jacks - red, blue and green) or DVI/HDMI (digital), but not composite (yellow RCA jack) unless you have to.
As to the projector, a used model might be found for $400 or so, but you should expect to reward $500 or more for a decent refurbished or discontinued model. Also, formerly buying recognize a replacement kerosene lamp -- needed about every 3000 hrs -- will cost $300-$450! You also obligation a screen (although you can use a blank white or street light grey wall) which will cost $200 or more to buy (or about $50-75 to make).
If you still want a projector read on.
Projectors stumble into two basic classes -- business and home arena. Business projectors generally don't bequeath as good a picture for movies but will be OK for games. They also tend to be brighter which is OK for games since they still donate an OK picture with some feathery on in the room (HT projectors really resembling a very dim / overcast room). If you just want for games business projectors are probably your best choice since they are cheaper, but if you want to use the projector for movies/TV as okay as games consider an HT projector.
The other thing to be aware of is resolution. Lower resolution (e.g. 480p) projectors are smaller quantity expensive ($500-$700) than 720p ($900-$2000) and 1080p ( $2500 up) projectors. The picture quality go up accordingly, BUT a 480 projector can hand over a good symbol on screens up to in the order of 70". 720p and 1080p projectors can be used on 100" - 150" screens.
Have a look at the contact for a site with lots of info and reviews.
Even though the Infocus SP4805 is currently put money on ordered for $325, it's the best gaming and movie projector deal around from infocus.com > Store > See All Home Theatre Projectors > Green Icon at right for SP4805. It's a DLP front projector next to 4X speed color wheel next to no apparent viewable rainbow effect.
Here's an actual movie, "A Good Woman" projected onto a 92" diagonal peak with the SP4805:
