I’m looking to buy my first projector for outdoor viewing and occasionally in my basement. This will be used for sports and movies. 4K is not needed, I’m good with 1080
I’ve read that the Epson 1060 is a great outdoor projector due to the 3,100 lumens. I’ve also heard the contrast/black levels are lackluster. I can get this projector refurbished for $380.
I have someone near me selling a new Epson 2100 for $300 which I’ve heard is much better with contract/black levels. However I’m worried the 2,500 lumens won’t be enough outdoors.
Can anyone weigh in their advice on which one they would go with and if the 600 difference will be as big as it sounds?
PS: if you recommend any other projectors please let me know (please not one that will give the rainbow effect)
