Epson - QB1000 4K HDR 3,300 Lumen 3LCD Laser Projector

That's your call, obviously, pick what you think is the best choice for you. Personally if I could have one handed to me for free, the Valerion Max or a QB1000 I'd pick the Valerion 11 times out of 10 at this point. The QB1000 is an LS12000 with slightly better dynamic hdr processing - and I do better dynamic HDR processing with madVR filters already - and they're very similar. Fine projectors (like I said, I have an Epson, not like I dislike the brand or anything) but imo value for money with the QB1000 is absolutely not there. You're just a hair's breadth away from JVC's entry level.

Coming in at \~$7500USD * 3,300 lumens of equal color and white brightness * 4K UHD clarity * Epson’s most advanced QZX Picture Processor to date * QB1000 has 22% more brightness * And maybe best of all: 20% better black levels So what do you guys think?

Some other things to consider, * $300 for a ceiling mount (CHF4500 Chief mount). * 3-Axis Motorized Lens Shift - this is a game changer and a must-have IMO. * HDMI 2.1 * Native 120 Hz Refresh Rate

Honestly there a is alot that goes in projection. First step is the screen that’s most important part. I would do SI screen anti reflective in this space. You will also need to put power for your electric drop down screen. Also where do you want the remote to go to drop down the screen? “no it’s not wireless” First step here talk to electrician or unless you are one. get power plugs in ceiling. Or I would do recess in ceiling projector screen. But will require construction to be done. And will look. Much cleaner. But for cost minimum 7k-15k if you want quality and aesthetic pleasing. This is screen alone…. Sure you can get pull down hand one like we had in school. But they are cheap for a reason and the image will be horrible. “You be better off with a TV in this case. The projector you will need a hdmi run or balun. Also depends where your beams cross will need to cut drywall and repair after the fact. Also another power plug. Also would run Ethernet here same time.but I would do epson QB1000 or QL3000 if you want your windows open for daylight. If you want quality. Lastly what are you doing for sound? Unless you want to use your head phones? But that be horrible experience if you want to relax for the night. If the budget is under 3k? it’s just not possible and would just recommend a tv and just mount it above your computer. Would be a better option. But if you wish to do it right it is possible. And would look great. And give you a list to get.

Epson comes with great long throw projectors as well they just released the follower of the legendary [5050ub](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J_5pFXwFvsQ) / eh tw 9400 the 6 Year in a row flagship which still delivers (in ma living room BUT you need a lil shadow especially with older lamps and as usual the right screen! (actually 5k+ h on the lamp…) Epson EH-QB1000 (about 5.5k $) Epson EH-LS12000B (Around 4k $) [Battle](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pz2ipuEtvFo) between them but in german (Names could vary since im german, while ours is ehtw9400 yours should be 5050ub guess something similar with the newer projectors as well)
