I've had two Optoma projectors over the past 15 years or so that cost in the $500-700 range, and have loved both of them. I don't do a lot of streaming with the projector, but have watched a few films projected via Netflix and Amazon and some sporting events over HD cable and they've all looked good.

Don't have any suggestions about wall-mounted shelving. Mine sits on a small table. Projected distance in my room is about 12 feet.

Thanks! Suggested model number if you have it.

Most of these projectors are pretty lightweight. When it comes to shelving, a simple flat shelf screwed into a couple of wall mounted brackets should get the job done.

My current projector is the Optoma HD29 Darbee

Thanks! What projector do you have out of curiosity.

Epson 5030, got it back in 2014 and it’s still performing brilliantly!

Are you looking for 4K or 1080P. If the latter would suffice I have a Panasonic PT-AE8000 sitting in storage. I would sell it for $500.00 plus shipping. PM me if interested.

If you put it on a shelf, you need to buy a projector with plenty of lens shift.

have you looked into the used market? i bought myself an optoma 25e with low hrs for under $200, i'd look into it. everyone's jettisoning large projectors in favor of direct displays.... so it's a good time to look into the used market.

i'm even thinking of getting a separate one for 4:3 content lolz anywho, worth it just to save $!
