Epson - Home Cinema 2250 3LCD Full HD 1080p Projector

with cheap 100" 4k LED's available (walmart has a 98" Samsung for 1997 right now, costco has 98" TCL for 1599), maybe look at those before spending over $2k for a projector. Unless your screen is bigger than that, then a projector still the way to go since budget TV's max out at 100" right now (another couple years and you'll probably see 120" for $2k). Redoing my basement this is my dilemma - will stick with my 1080p Epson until the price comes down for 120"

I have used the Epson - Home Cinema 1080 1080p 3LCD Projector for years. It's great for that scale of wall, as long as you have a decent toss distance (that's always the determining factor). Sometimes I have to break my design up into smaller pieces and toss each section with the projector in a new location - but with proper registration marks (on the wall and the artwork) it works like a charm. I have also been having luck with the Meta Quest 3 headset. It's not my go-to for highly detailed portions, but for more organic, forgiving shapes - and for blocking in rough proportions - it's a great supplement to my Epson.

Yes it is. Got mine open box in 500$. For anime it's a no brainer.

For $800 you’re looking at 1080p not even pixel shift. You’ll have to do the math on throw distance but an Epson 1080 or Benq 585 are decent machines

Lots of decent options. The Benq 2150 will look best but an Epson 1080 or 90 will have more pop but less refinement. Could be good for your use. It’s less bright and not requested 4k but the xgimi horizon pro would fit some people’s setups in that budget.

I think you have the right instincts here A 4k projector will do the trick. Heck I have a 1080p Epson I picked up open box and a denon avr that can do 7.1. No atmos. And it sounds and looks amazing So nowadays an atmos capable receiver and 4k projector ( even just led ). Will look and sound amazing Just need a few small extra back speakers if and when you decide to use all the extra channels

I don’t have a 4k tv even. I will probably get one soon But I am really impressed with how good even an 1080p Epson can project at 110” image that is totally cinematic So I think any 4 k Epson will be totally good I feed it an Apple TV I have a marantz cinema 70 which is their lowest powered one and use an extra 2 channel amp I have to power fronts. That room looks pretty big so I would go with something cinema 50 and still have the option to add extra power later.

I'm using an Epson 1080p 3LCD projector that cost me something like 500 bucks like 5 years ago. The new price was around $1000 by then, but I bought a return deal on Amazon that was somehow priced half as cheap, with only having a couple of lamp hours and no notable usage wear. I once set it up on my balcony and projected movies on the apartment building on the other side of the street. You should have seen the faces of people that happened to be passing by. I was amazed by the size of the projection image and it's relative brightness. So what I want to say is: if a 5 year old, mid-end beamer suffices to produce such an image, a couple of bucks to buy a second hand projector should easily get you going :) This is the projector I'm talking about: https://amzn.eu/d/4ykHrQW I'm still happily using it, it was also used at events for presentations and such, and I sometimes let people rent it on platforms like gearbooker or peerby, which already covered the cost of the purchase by now.

Epson will be brightest and average contrast and blacks. Sony will be less bright but better contrast. JVC is lowest brightness but incredible blacks and contrast. Pick what you prefer.

If that's the case, see if you can look at an Epson 1080, maybe refurbished or open-box. It will be a good starting point and its retail price is around $500 US. The Epson 8350 (my first ever projector) is also a good option. They have been out of production for awhile but they can be had for $250 or less. Only down side is they are larger than that Optoma or the 1080.

Im still on a 1080p Epson home cinema. OG bulb. Never spend more than you need to for your application. Most hate is people trying to justify the insane price they paid for that extra 10% performance.

Man, still got 1080p Epson home cinema on a 140 inch screen. It really isn't that big a deal. Get a 4k unscaler and save yourself 1000s and/or put more in the sound.

I have the Epson 880 and 1080.  They're both fantastic projector and some of the best values you can possibly get, especially in the 200 - $250 range, which is phenomenal value.  1060 is, as I understand it, similar to between the 880 and 1080 so I would absolutely recommend it.
