Hi all,
I am currently trying to buy a new projector and posted recently asking about UST, which are not ideal for my living room layout, and my only other viable option is a long throw projector small enough to sit on a bookshelf just behind the seating position. However, it turns out that there are virtually no home cinema projectors that meet my requirement of >1.7 throw ratio, and less than around 27cm depth (to fit on a shelf).
Then I stumbled on the Optoma EH470 and EH416e, which are both marketed at business/eduction, but reading through the specs don't seem that different to a home cinema projector, and they both have the throw ratio I want, and are around 22cm deep. Although I haven't looked at it in detail, the BenQ SH753+ also meets these specs, but curiously is also marketed to business/education.
The only thing in the specs that stands out, in terms of being different from home cinema, is that they are very bright (around 5000 lumens), and I always watch in a fairly dark room, but I figured I could just run in eco mode if too bright.
Is there something I am missing here, or should these work just as well as a normal home cinema projector with similar spec?
Thanks.
