Looking to see if anyone has had any experience with either the BenQ MH740 or Optoma EH500 especially when it comes to the PQ. I am trying to build a backyard setup with a 220" screen which would only be used from sunset on.
I am aware that both are business class projectors but from the reviews on Amazon it seems that they are being used for home use with success. My budget (around $1,000) does not seem to allow for a HT Projector that would work outdoor on a 220" screen.
The EH500 has 4700 lumens, uses a DC2 chip, ~$1,300
The MH740 has 4000 lumens, uses a DC3 chip, has more Zoom and Key Stone Correction ~$1,000
Not sure if the DC3 chip will make a difference in a backyard setup since there will be some light. (Moon, Fire Pit, Tiki Torches, etc).
