Hi all!,
I've been tasked with finding an upgrade to my company's current projector (NEC NP3250). I'm a film guy but not a projector guy so not really sure what I'm looking for in terms of lumens, throw distance, etc, so I'd be really grateful to anyone who's able to offer a few suggestions based on the below criteria:
- Small company so looking for low/medium budget, not necessarily top of the line.
- Operation in a windowless room, full black-out.
- Current position is ceiling-mounted, approximately 14ft from our retractable screen.
- 4K not required mandatory but obviously welcomed.
- As mentioned, current projector is ceiling-mounted so the upgrade needs to be, too.
- General usage covers film screening, presentations and occasional software demonstrations (i.e. Davinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere, etc)
As a side question to this, I'm assuming our current screen will need replacing as well, but what's the disparity between a 'standard' projection screen and those sold as HD? I don't doubt there is one, but how significant is it? Will not upgrading this as well render the projector upgrade pointless? Or will a difference still be appreciable, even if not significantly?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
