Home Cinema 2250 3LCD Full HD 1080p Projector

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.

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.
