Hey all,
I need some help from a seasoned expert
I am torn between the (now much more expensive) £499 BENQ W1070 and the £464 Optoma HD142X.
I predict that my (ceiling mounted) projector bulb will be about 3.2 meters from my 92" projector screen, which has a vertical width of 203cm.
Looking at the projector calculator, it looks like both projectors will fit in my room and fill up the projector, with :
- the BenQ needing to be seated 3.05m from the screen and at 1.00x Zoom
- The Optoma needing to be seated somewhere between 3m and 3.3m from the screen, with zoom ranging from 1.00x to 1.09x
Can someone please advise if I am accurate here? If so, based on the discussions here it does sound like the Optoma is a more sensible bet (brighter, a little cheaper). Any concerns I am missing? E.g. price of bulbs etc?
Thank you in advance!
