New ones of Amazon pot shot. Used one on fbmp that was like $500 new most likely solid af now around $200-$100 may need a new bulb. I have grabbed a couple of the newer $100 ones they do t last very long. Wish I found one that works. Epson home cinema 2040 I think it is solid 1080p projector used now kinda on that price range. If u want good Benq 3100 fire projector If u wanna watch for a few hours and get a feel for it the $100 amazon ones work to get an idea of placement throw brightness things and h can return it if ya don’t like it.
Benq x3100i is fire we went from epson home cinema 2040 or ?? Model may not be exact memory is shite, 1080p on a 135” screen at like 11’. Good for sure, but the 4k Benq x3100i is so much sharper clearer and brighter. Now from ur Benq to this one maybe not the jump we experienced but still believe a jump. ALR screen is the one thing we found later would be the best thing for closer to OLED blacks but sheeesh it’s so good. Even older media is nice on it. Feels very old theater which is great on those nostalgia days. We grabbed an open box and saved a mint things expensive but in the end if we payed full worth it. Are there better short throws for a lot more money sure are. When it’s time dropping 7k on screen and projector will happen. For now tho this is my go to and recommended. Great quality awesome picture good for gaming it wins where it should. Happy hunting
It’s pretty minimal, the epson was rougher for sure.
Epson 2040 and 3800 and no noticeable lag. 110" screen with 7.1 speaker set up. RDR2 in particular was absolutely mind blowing. Hearing things all around and really feeling like you're in the game... incredible
Same, got the 2040. LED lamp is inexpensive and lasts 10k hours on ECO.
I have Epson Home cinema 2040 3D Projector Can anyone please suggest compatible 3D Glasses for use
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.
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 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.
