Guys, I'm a projector newb first off, and I'm shopping for the best HD Projector I can get for $1200 and under.
The biggest thing is I want as large of a projection screen as I can buy......and I chose 150" as my goal.
My question is, will the Optoma HD8200 be able to project this size screen clearly in a low ambient light basement ??
Or, should I be looking for something else ?? Any recommendations are more then welcome.
I figured I'd buy a model a few years old that has depreciated massively because I don't need all the bells and whistles.
I only care about a solid clear HUGE presentation ......and longevity of course.
Here's the projector info I looked up.
