Hi,
I'm looking to choose a projector to mainly watch movies/tv shows (40/50 %) and occasional gaming (10 %) in a dark basement room (easy to control the light).
The screen size I am targeting is 100" but could be longer if I go for a 21:9 screen. I can either paint the wall, or install a permanent screen; all options are possible.
The viewing distance will be about 10'. The projector would be mounted on the ceiling.
The options I'm looking at are:
The only reason I'm hesitant about the Epson HC 4010 is the lack of 4k/60Hz/HDR but it is not clear to me what exactly I'd be missing? I would mainly watch Netflix, the occasional Blu-ray (though I don't have a 4K BD player yet), but might also do some Wii and PC gaming.
Any suggestions on which projector would best fit this application?

The options I'm looking at are:
- Epson HC 4010 (premium features, but concerned about lack of HDMI 2.0 and 4k/60Hz/HDR)
- Epson HC 3800 (has HDMI 2.0, but less features and no FI in 4K)
- ViewSonic PX727-4K (HDMI 2.0, less expensive, but reviews seem to say picture quality not as good as Epson)
- Optoma UHD 50 (HDMI 2.0 least expensive, but not the best for movie watching?)
- BenQ HT3550 (HDMI 2.0, image quality for movies in dark room not as good?)
