Also on the install, is that something for a first timer you should just get best buy to do or some service before you tear your ceiling down? hehe

I went on and searched refurbished projectors and there were a ton of them but honestly I have no idea what is what. Would probably be a bit freaked out getting a refurbished anything. They did have some 2500 dollar projectors under 1K though, that is pretty cool.

I will check all my best buys in the area! Iknow the one up by us does not have a theater section. Another question for the masses... when you see these on Amazon and you can get "Expert Installation" for 250 bucks on a projector, who exactly do they get to come and install it? 250 bucks to...

Wow that projector central site is awesome, lists it all out there right in front of you! If you compare them all though the Epson 2150 and Epson 3100 with the 60,000:1 seem hard to beat but I don't understand why the 3100 is almost double the price of the 2150 yet the stats are almost all the...

this one was posted - Projector We Would Have Liked to Review: Optoma HD142X On a review site and it is only 500 bucks which is crazy. I am completely in paralysis by analysis at this point and just don't know what to buy. Is Black Friday a good time to get one where it is so close?

Hey Jim! I have that one on my list. I guess I have been doing this quite mathematically. Just looking on amazon at the stats comparison. This one has 2200 lumens and 15,000:1 which is pretty low. The Epson 2150 has 2500 lumens and says 60,000:1 and the Optima GT something or another has...

WOW on that review site they had this one - Projector We Would Have Liked to Review: Optoma HD142X. The color is amazing! It is only 500 bucks though. 3000 lumens and 23,000 : 1 which is low but wow color is off the chart. I was looking at the Optima GT 1080 as well and it has 3000 lumens...

Funny thing is if you got Amazon and compare them all it has a nice chart laid out and in the Epson 2150, the ratio is off the chart but if you notice, it says "UP TO 60,000:1" hehe. What the heck does that mean? Normally 10,000 to 1 but for one day a year it can hit 60K to one. hehe...

I have just been using the math to make up my mind but if that is bogus then probably not a good idea. I made a spread sheet and listed out a dozen projectors that I could find and the best 2 I could find were the Epson 2150 as it was 2500 lumens which is low but 60,000:1. The Lamp hours were...

Awesome link Dave, thanks! All good thoughts as well! This is why I signed in here! I figured there would be experts a plenty! My theater is going to be in the basement, underground so dark as pitch when I want it to be but adjustable lighting as well from low level to bright so it runs the...

Hey all, looking to get into the Home theater game! Not a guru, not a gamer, just for movies! I have watched every video Youtube has to offer but am completely confused. Anyone out there already done the heavy lifting on this question in 2017? So may machines and some have higher ratios...

What is more important to you the ratio of 60,000 : 1 which sounds like it is pretty good vs the lumens. I have seen higher models with better lumens but most are only 20,000:1 or less on the ratio? thanks! So much to learn. Just trying to find the best deal under 1K if possible. Do any of...

Hey all! I am looking at starting a home theater project downstairs. I have two rooms I can put it in, living room which has a vaulted ceiling that is on an angle so the screen would have to be attached on an angle. First is that even possible? Second, what do folks suggest, pull down screen...
