Genuinely not trying to be a troll or looking to get crisped...
But now that BIG screen OLED's are available at sensible money and really big ones on the way, which are night and day better than any projector image ( ok that bit might get me in trouble..) then why would you, for home use, go for a hugely expensive projector?
I guess if you are over a 100" screen size then maybe.. but with the huge 8K stuff coming down the line which, when prices settle, will be about the same price as a top of the range projector then I don't get it. but...
I must be missing something.

Yet to see any TV no matter how big that can give the cinema experience offered by a projector.
whoa hang on what about 34 foot Samsung Cinema Screen 4K (4,096 x 2,160) resolution.

Now I would love to see that in action. just loads of TVs stuck together I think is the technical term

Your thoughts very much echo mine at the moment. The biggest screen I could fit is 100", but looking at the OLEDs coming this year with VRR, and knowing that I will be using my setup for gaming, I am not sure I see the value in going the projector route... especially given how much you're giving up in respect to black levels. Yes that extra immersion isn't to be sniffed at, but unless you are constructing a proper home cinema (with the budget to do it justice, proper speakers et al), I don't know that a projector makes the most sense at 100" or less, particularly if you're gaming and will therefore benefit massively from VRR functionality.
Breaking it down, given a 65" 2019 OLED with VRR should be under the £3K mark, you aren't getting anywhere near that picture quality on a projector of similar value... and this Sony VW270ES is nearly double that by the time you factor in screen cost.

Yeah but if you have a 4K projector with a 130 inch screen in a dedicated room you have an image 4 times the size of the 65 inch. Ok the tv may have a nicer quality image but if it is a quarter of the size it doesn’t have the same impact. Horses for courses.
