I am looking for a cheaper, used native 1080p or 720p projector with HDMI from a good company (BenQ, Viewsonic, Optoma) to replace the one that unexpectedly broke. I wanted to eventually replace the projector that broke with a 4K one when we moved to a bigger place in a year, but since my...

I have an EPSON 'faux-K' projector (native 1080p, but does 4K by pixel-shifting). This projector can only do 4K HDR at 30fps or lower. This works just fine for UHD movies, as I play them at 24fps. However for PS4 games that use HDR (Horizon Zero Dawn, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, etc). I...

Hey guys, I'm looking at the Optoma HD27HDR. 50,000:1 contrast ratio 1.1x zoom 3400 lumens It's hard to judge overall performance on so many variables - would you guys say that a conversion projector's performance is more similar to a 1080p or 4k projector?

I have a friend who is looking to install a large screen (140 or 150 diagonal) and projector in a professional art gallery. This isn't a business with a lot of money and so I'm looking for suggestions on inexpensive screens and projectors that are still good enough to make this happen. At the...

Hello, Just curious if anyone here has the Vankyo V600 projector and if you could share your thoughts on it? Thanks for any help!

My InFocus IN76 is having a problem. Here is a link to the video on Youtube. I click the button to turn it on, the fans spin up, the color wheel spins up and the light turns on. The problem is the light is dim and it shows a clear screen, not a blue or white projected screen, but clear, like...

hi, I am planning a HT for my home. Dilemma is between buying a Sony 1080 or a 4 K projector. For a viewing distance of 15 feet, and a screen size of 150 inches, will I be able to discern difference between 4K and 1080? Thanks a lot in advance!!

It's been awhile since I've posted anything here... My current projector that I've been using since 2006 - and still produces a DAMN good image for a 13 year-old, 720p native machine - is a Panasonic TH-AE900. It was considered the best projector in its class at the time. It's been thru a...
