First of all, Sorry for starting yet another "what should i get thread" but what should i get!!!!
I currently have an optoma hd600x, which i got in Feb 2011. Also have a cheapo optoma 106in screen which I've always had a problem with (picture on the right hand of screen seems to curve).
Anyway, in a month or two I'm going to have £3000 to spend (actually will have £35000 to spend but my life wouldn't be worth living if i said that to the wife).
I was thinking along the lines of 2K on projector and 1k on screen, or 2.5K on projector if a great screen can be got for £500. I've been looking through as many threads as i can over the last few days and the epson EH-TW9000 seems to be very highly regarded.
I don't have a dedicated room for this stuff, current projector is on ceiling in living room. The room is standard living room stuff, white ceiling, fairly light walls etc. OK now to the point of all this rambling
1) What projector would you guys go for in the 2/2.5k price range?
I'm after 1080p full hd, 3D and if possible good enough brightness for the odd daytime gaming session (this will be on very rare occasions).
2)Same question again but for the screen. Cant be fixed frame as the wife would have a second reason to put me under the patio. I'd like to get a tab tensioned if they are within my price range.
So what are your recommendations?
One last thing, probably a stupid question but how much of a difference would i see between what i have now and will potentially have?
