damn a bit late
ive been using projectors for like 5-6 years now as my main screen.
i'm currently using this:
https://www.costco.ca/Epson-Home-Cin...100355501.html
super bright 4200 lumens. under 2000 bux. 10000 hour eco mode i think. 1200p, and costco warranty and epson customer service. no 3d. but who watches 3d these days lol.
second choice would be:
https://www.costco.ca/Epson-Home-Cin...100378733.html
3200 lumens, also 10000 hour eco i think. 1080p. only 800 bux. could have two of these for the cost of the one above lol.
unless you're a super visual buff, and u want super color accuracy and 4k and all that, you're looking to spend a lot more. plus cost of ultra short throw 4k laser projectors have come down in cost by prob 10x by end of next year you'd just save up for one of those instead lol.
