So the title says it all: I'm in the market for a 1080p projector and screen for $700. the plan was to get the Silver Ticket 100" screen suggested by wirecutters.com for $200. That leaves me with $500 for a projector. The projector will be hooked up to gaming htpc for movies/gaming and the 3 current gen consoles.
I've done some research and it seems like most suggest $600+ projectors such as the popular 8345. is it doable for 500 or do I need to switch out the screen. I'm open to any screen suggestions, but I don't have the option of painting as I am a renter. The only thing I am unmovable on is the resolution.
Potential details needed: will be set up in a finished basement from behind the couch so I don't need short throw.
Thanks for any help!
P.s: its a pretty firm budget bc I need to update my outdated receiver this summer and I'm married(need I say more)
