Hi all,
I'm thinking of buying a projector for watching movies in my student home. Projectors are completely out my expertise so I'm looking for some guidance. It won't really be a batcave scenario, but we will watch mostly at nights, so ambient light won't be a huge problem. My budget isn't very big so I'm searching for some budget projectors to start with. I'd like to stay below €500 for a projector.
I'm thinking of buying (or DIY'ing) a 100" screen and we will watch from around 3-4 meters away. The beamer probably won't be hanged from the ceiling, because of the use-case. But I might do so when moving to another house.
Based on the reviews from Phil Hinton I searched for some second hand deals. I'm not sure older higher-end projectors are worth looking for or if I should settle for a newer lower end one. These are the ones I have found so-far:
Sony VPL-HW55ES (640 hour used bulb) --> € 450
BenQ W1090 (one year old) --> € 310
BenQ W1050 --> € 380
BenQ W2000 --> € 310
BenQ W1080ST --> € 300
Optoma HD27 --> €350
Thank you!
Cheers,
Arnand
