Hi,
I'm looking for a projector at roughly the £500 mark. This will mainly be for watching sport/football (often outdoors in the garden) and also kids movies (indoors).
I won't really be watching super dark content/movies on it so blacks/dark scenes aren't so important. (I've got an OLED for that)
The 2 new models seem to have high lumen rating and seem marketed towards watching in ambient light (although the BenQ seems to be branded more as a gaming projector).
The Sony projector seems to have been a fantastic value projector when released and it's available second hand at the same price point. However the lumen rating is much lower.
I don't really need a multitude of inputs as it'll just be used for one hdmi input and put away at the end of each viewing session and I can plug the audio output into a portable speaker.
Can anyone give any tips on which would be the better option? I'm leaning towards the optoma as it's new and has "better" lumen rating but would be interested in people's take on the 2nd hand Sony.
Thanks.
