I've always been interested in getting a Projector setup but I have so far just stuck with Televisions.
I am at a cross roads where I can either get something like the 77G1 OLED at £4.8K + wall mounting costs. or I can go for a Projector setup instead.
Will a Projector work well in this room? How would you guys position things if so? Pics of the room below:
The lounge is fairly bright due to the rear windows and the large patio doors. The curtains shown don't block light out that well, and the rear blinds only do an OK job of it really.
The room measures approximately 3.5M wide, 5.3M long. The wall with the TV unit on it is 2.5M from the corner to the doorframe.
I had a chat to a chap from RS today about it, and the general thoughts were it was possible, but would require a ceiling mounted screen in front of the rear windows (approx~ 3M wide or 136"), and the projector would be ceiling mounted above where the TV is shown. The sofa would then move to where the TV unit is currently seen.
Questions:
This would make the throw distance of the projector about 5M or so. Would it be bright/big enough?
Will the ceiling lamp shades get in the way?
RS chap is recommending the Sony VPL-VW270ES as it's inline with the TV budget at £5K, but is the best one? Friend of mine says the JVC DLA-N5W may be better but it's also more expensive at £6.5K.
Is a ceiling mounted motorised screen the best idea here?
