Evening gents,
I'm planning on treating myself to a living room home cinema setup, but I don't really know where to start.
My plan is to get a screen and a projector.
I was planning on getting a Chromecast to plug directly into the projector as I have a dedicated mb3 (like plex) server in the loft and was only planning on using the projector for movies and some TV shows (Epic ones, more Game of Thrones, less Corrie).
I was only planning on getting a basic sound setup (maybe just a soundbar) as I've had a decent surround sound setup in the past and used it maybe twice in the time I had it.
My planned budget was £1k, but I could probably stretch to £1.3k if there's a substantial upgrade worth it.
Now for what I need you guys for, basically, recommend me a decent setup with in my budget range!
Projector
Screen
A sound suggestion (I will go for surround sound if you guys think there's something decent within my budget)
I was also wasn't sure about the best way to get my audio from my chromecast/projector in to the soundbar or w/e below my screen. I did see some cheap bluetooth audio transmitters/receivers but wasn't sure how good they'd be! I've a feeling they'd maybe put a downer on the whole experience.
Thanks for any help/advice!
