Cosmos 4K SE (D2342)

Good to see you speak from no experience for mural use. The two options suggested are ok choice for messy mural work. And the nebula 4k is good for large outdoors murals. Other mods are attaching a lens Other good choice is projector with zoom len From using the H1 in confined space, it does work for stenciling on a beer budget and broke college art student.  Not everyone can afford 650-1200 Nebula 4k 01001001

I have over 20 years in the art field, art school trained doing mixed media including large murals and building projection. Most artists modified equipment and think of a creative solution all the time on worksites. This includes chaining cheap H1 projector to hit wide mural. Velcro lens to projector or using analog projectors, wallpaper stencil. Think ! quick and dirty to get the job done in a messy workflow But have very limited budget. OP brought a RCA projector on Amazon. And runs a business. So she multiple projector in case several units get damaged. Lamp, LED, DLP are good choice to choose from There have been countless times a lamp projector dies and we scramble for a replacement. LED and DLP are good since some worksite have no AC.  Think a home mural on pre built with no electricity. So Battery or Gas Gen powered. To OP , buy several art grade projectors to avoid any down time, zoom lens if you afford it, analog buttons and focus ring when lose the remote and the phone app crashes. The Artograph Super Prism is a professional-grade opaque projector featuring a 3-element, color-correcting Super Lens that allows for both reduction (down to 80%) and enlargement (up to 20x). It uses a traditional manual lens barrel that you slide or rotate for sharp focus. For a digital option, the Artograph Flare 450 includes a manual focus wheel on the unit and a touchpad with physical buttons on top. It is "sealed" in a compact, portable frame that protects the LED internals. The Kopykake 300XK is highly popular for its sturdy steel cabinet (sealed design) and a lens system that allows you to enlarge images up to 300% vertically or 2500% horizontally by removing the head. It uses a physical manual focus adjustment on the lens.

I have this. It’s great for the price. Isn’t great in full daylight. It would need a separate sound system in a big room.

I just bought the nebula cosmos 4k se off eBay for $650. It's refurbished, but it looks amazing and the input lag is just like the tv I played on, so I'm super happy with it. Comes with a 2 year warranty and everything. Look into eBay refurbished projectors and I'm sure you'll find one that suits you and isn't out of budget.

For $800 I'd go with a nebula 4k SE, it's on sale refurbished from eBay with warranty. I know it's overkill for you but why not get 4k instead of 1080p when you have a budget of $800? This is a phenomenal projector for the price of $599,(MSRP $1300). 4k, dolby vision and HDR, great gaming performance. Honestly surprised no one is jumping on this deal. It's going to be bright enough for your screen since its not too big.

I acquired a Nebula Cosmos SE 4K for our family room. I alternate watching programs on the Nebula with a Samsung 50” LED TV. The Nebula is perfect for us. Easy to set up and powerful enough for 120" viewing. I usually set it at around 70" -100" max. size on the wall. Picture quality is stellar and adjustable. It has built-in Dolby Vision. Audio can be output to HDMI-ARC, Bluetooth speakers, AUX or you can use the built-in speakers. I have several internal apps - Netflix, YouTube, Amazon to name a few. I connect DirecTV from HDMI. It runs natively on Google TV with free programming with ads. The auto focus and auto formatting, keystoning works perfectly. Especially like watching sports, films and series on this projector. The World Series looked amazing. Also you can mirror image from your phone or laptop depending on your wireless streaming strength. So far it's a winner.

I had a nebula 4k SE that I thought worked great. Interface was a bit sluggish but otherwise was perfect for outdoor evenings once the sun went down. I used a 120 inch screen and the image was good at sundown and great once it got a little darker. It looks like refurbished ones on eBay go for $600 so maybe a plain used one from a private seller might come up that is within your budget. I feel like with all the jumps in specs for "lifestyle" type projectors you might get more of these being sold as people upgrade. That is what I did at least.

ill 2nd this have a cosmos 4k se mounted on the ceiling suprisingly really good sound
