Sony BRAVIA 7, 8, or 9 depending on screen size and budget. Great input lag, native 4K, great lasers, impeccable color, best motion, unmatched processing.
this is probably the unpopular opinion on here and i get why, but having seen a lot of projectors (all the way up to the new Bravia 9 from Sony, and most JVC DLA) in action, and having also seen the 97" G5 and Hisense 116 RGBmini in person, the 97" G5 is the most impressive. is it extremely expensive? yes. but if you love OLED and want that exact quality in the biggest size you can, i say go for it if money isn't your biggest concern.
I think the AVR and Projector screen are a little high depending on what they have picked out. Is it going to be a fixed screen or a drop down? Black ash subwoofer seems like its an SVS, so they are likely matching the in ceilings to match that quality. If you want it done for less, buy your own equipment, and have them install it or find another company that will. Sony makes a great 4k laser for about 5k so that will cut the cost dramatically
God no!! Upgrade to one of the laser based 4k projectors! My fav is the Sony, but there are several to choose from. I think you’d be so disappointed losing that much screen! It’d feel like….. you know, A TV instead of a theater!
I went the open box route, got a 4K Sony and never looked back. Sony optics and picture processing are the best available and their projectors are true 3-chip systems and native 4k.
Open box JVC or Sony will be your best option at that price. They are both true native 4K with 3-chip light engines - so no rainbow effect or pixel shifting. Personally I prefer Sony for their optics and image processing. I actually kept my first Sony 4K in storage after upgrading. It was a demo unit which I got for under $3K.
