Hi all
I bought a 77" OLED last year to try and sate my desire for the big screen experience. No surprise that I've got used to the size and I miss that projected image. I've just bought a house so finally I can have a dedicated room again, which will be in a converted single garage. It will be a batcave, with acoustic fabric panels, and no reflective surfaces anywhere. The question is, what projector route to go down?
My budget is really no more than £2k, but I was thinking of the Epson TW-9400, having been impressed with a friend's 7400 a while back (yes I know black levels aren't the best but I was super impressed for the money).
My question is, what's the best route to go down? The JVC models are just confusing, there's so many when taking into account second hand models, and the 9400 looks to have been out for quite a while, but curious to know what the experts on here would recommend (or choose themselves if you were in my shoes).
One point which is essential for me: whisper quiet operation. I lived with a Benq cheap DLP projector for a few years which worked really well, but ultimately scenes in movies such as A Quiet Place were somewhat spoiled by the ever present fan above my head.
Welcome any advice
