My first projector was a BenQ 1085st, which I projected at a grey wall that was sanded and painted with a popular recipe mix I got from AVSforum. It looked amazing. I was super happy with it. Installing the projector incurred some extra costs I wasn't expecting during the wiring, and my wife kaiboshed my screen budget as a result. The paint solution felt like a consolation prize, but when I eventually tested a screen there was ZERO difference (the swatches fully disappeared into the wall in the projected image), and it being a whole wall effectively hid the entire thing. If you're trying to optimize your experience, I'm going to recommend increasing your budget $50-100. Buy an x500i while it's on sale for $1500, mix up some paint for your wall, and apply it carefully to get it as smooth as you can.
r/projectors • Help Me Decide: $1,500 Home Theater Setup (Projector vs. TV for 120-Inch Screen) ->As stated, I've never seen any rainbows on this or the BenQ HT1085ST I have in another room.
r/projectors • Bought an expensive and a cheap projector. Time to see which one I keep ->I went from cheaper 70inch 4k Samsung to benq 1080p projector I purchased on eBay. Even though the resolution isn’t as good I prefer the projector by a long shot. I love it
