I want to purchase a Video Projector that will allow me to watch TV, DVD in the daytime, as well in a dark room. Am I asking for something that is not possible?
The choice of projector isn’t the problem. As others have said, projectors (or TVs) do not like glare from lights. What is happening is the light on the screen makes it impossible to get the contrast between the light and dark areas of the picture, washing out the picture.
There are a few ways to overcome this to various degrees.
1. But up blinds or curtains to achieve a dimmer room
2. Use a bright projector (>2000-2500 Lumens, although by itself this won’t be an adequate solution)
3a Use a high gain screen.
3b Use a special screen that rejects ambient light and reflects “just” the intended image back to a “sweet spot” viewing position.
Option 3a works to some degree (not as well as 3b) because the high gain screen tends to reject off-axis light.
I’ve included three links (the 2nd link in particular explain the issues) to three products of the type described in option 3b. Note they can be expensive, and while results may be acceptable, even quite good for bright material (sunny outdoor material, vs dim interior shots), any such approach will be somewhat inferior to a light controlled HT environment.
Hope this helps.

Video Projector $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A video projector takes a video signal and projects the corresponding image on a projection screen using a lens system. All video projectors use a very bright light to project the image, and most modern ones can correct any curves, blurriness, and other inconsistencies through manual settings. Video projectors are widely used for conference room presentations, classroom training, home theatre and live events applications. Projectors are widely used in many schools and other educational settings, connected to an interactive white board to interactively teach pupils.
