The Perfect Picture: Choosing Between Projectors, TVs, and Video Walls

Every room in a Portland-area luxury home deserves a visual experience that complements its purpose, character, and design. When designing your home entertainment experience, consider more than just selecting a screen—curate an ambiance that creates lasting memories.

If your goal is cinematic immersion, architectural balance, or statement-making scale, the choice between a projector, a TV, or a video wall determines how that experience comes to life.

At Eighteen Group, display selection and installation reflect our understanding of how technology and design are intertwined, blending acoustics, lighting, and design harmony to create visuals that feel as refined as the home itself.

Projectors Are At The Heart of Cinematic Living

Few experiences rival the grandeur of projection. Projectors create that expansive, immersive cinematic feel you experience at the local cineplex without the sticky floors and concession stand lines. Every detail feels intentional, and the screen’s size helps take you to new and enchanted places created by award-winning directors.

A projector in a private theater allows for visuals that can reach over 120 inches in size. Add in light control and acoustic design, and the effect is breathtaking, creating an enveloping sense of scale and realism once you press the Play button. Pair a projection screen with high-performance surround sound and custom acoustic treatments, and the space becomes more than a room; it becomes an escape.

Eighteen Group collaborates with leading projection brands and screens specifically designed to complement your space. Whether it’s an ultra-short-throw projector and an acoustically transparent screen or a hidden ceiling lift and retractable screen, we’ll help you choose the perfect combination. The result will deliver pristine image quality while preserving clean lines, maintaining aesthetic balance when the projector isn’t in use.

Projection thrives in rooms designed for immersion, such as home theaters, private lounges, or any environment where lighting and layout can be carefully curated for a dramatic effect.

Everyday Elegance Meets Precision with High-Performance TVs

For most living spaces and media rooms, a larger-than-life TV offers the perfect blend of practicality and performance. Advances in display technology have made premium TVs exceptionally bright, vibrant, and adaptable to varying ambient lighting conditions. OLED and QLED panels offer near-cinematic contrast while maintaining ultra-thin profiles that seamlessly integrate into a room’s design..

A family room, bedroom, or open-concept living area benefits from the clarity and brightness of a premium display that performs beautifully in both daylight and evening settings. Wall-mounted or recessed installations can align perfectly with the design vision—flush-mounted displays, motorized art panels, or mirrored finishes ensure the screen enhances the space even when powered off.

Eighteen Group’s design and installation team takes every visual factor into account, including viewing distance, sightlines, wall color, and lighting, to select and install the display that looks and performs flawlessly.

Video Walls Are The Ultimate Visual Design Statement

For homeowners who view technology as an art form, a video wall creates an entirely unique experience. These panelized, large-format displays transform a wall into a living canvas that’s ideal for entertainment, digital art, or showcasing high-impact visuals across expansive spaces.

Video walls excel in great rooms, entertainment lounges, or open living spaces where visibility and scale are essential. With microLED and modular panel systems, the display can be shaped to practically any size or proportion, offering extraordinary brightness and clarity even in sunny rooms.

Beyond performance, video walls make a visual statement. They embody sophistication and power, impressive while still seamlessly aligning with your decor and personal style. Eighteen Group engineers every video wall with precision, managing everything from calibration and power distribution to content control.

Every home deserves a uniquely crafted visual solution. The right choice—projector, TV, or video wall—depends on how you envision the space being used. That’s where Eighteen Group’s expertise shines.
