Don't forget to research the MTBF for the bulbs and to price the replacement bulbs. Ebay is covered with used projectors in "good working condition" that not coincidentally also need new bulbs. You can only guess why...
Help me pick a projector.
Hello,
I just bought a new house with a nice big basement. I am going to build a theater room. Need to get a projector.
My room is going to be about 16x26 and perfect rectangle. 7' ceilings, maybe a little more.
I want to get a screen as big as I can. 120-150" or even more.
My audio gear: b&k ref 50s2, b&k av-5000s2, DCM time window 7 main. Dcm tfv-10.0 rear and side rear. Dcm Surroundscape center. PS3 as source and a Sony BDP s500. Thiel smart sub.
I am going to first try doing a screen on the drywall. If that doesn't work, I will buy a legit screen.
There will be zero windows. So it can be super dark. I am not a videophile, but I appreciate a good picture. I have a 60" Panasonic plasma in the living room.
Thinking of a emotiva umc-200 possibly. One question, is it worth it? For hdmi and modern formats vs analog out from my sony BDP.
My real question is the projector. I need to grab one. I have 1500 in amazon gift cards to shop with. I don't mind a refurb and want good quality. I also want easy setup since I am doing it myself.
Any suggestions out there for my projector or thoughts on the processor?
Thanks!
