Ok, so I’ve impulse bought a Euroscreen Draper ReAct 3.0 104” Screen from the forums but don’t actually have a projector yet.
Main reason is I’ll be losing 3D on the TV as I’m switching to a new OLED and rather than having two TV’s and needing to hunt around for a 6 series LG OLED I decided it would be easier and more impressive to just get a projector for the task.
Room is 4.5x3.7m if I remember rightly and only around 2.5m high, in the current orientation the projector to screen distance would be around 3.5m but I can push that up to 3.8m without wall mounting the TV if I move the AV rack.
So my question is given it’s not ideal conditions what are my best options?
Looking at the JVC X5900 and X7900 is there going to be a worthwhile difference in a light coloured room with an ambient light rejecting grey screen or not really?
If there is then how does the Epson LS10500 stack up compared to the JVC X7900.
If not then should I be looking at JVCX5900 vs. the cheaper Epson TW9300?
I think the last HT projector I saw was an Epson of some variety 8 or so years ago and the only thing I can remember thinking was wow the screen is huge rather than worrying about contrast at the time so maybe I would be impressed with the cheapest option?
Only concern I have with the TW9300 is dust blobs how much of an issue is it? My room is quite dusty not hidden well by all the piano black gear. Not sure if it’s more than normal but my PC certainly gets more dust in it than I would like so don’t want to get something if it’s going to be an issue.
Thanks for any help!
Won’t be buying just yet, need to work out which price bracket I should be saving for and I like getting my research in early.
