I've been researching projectors for 2 weeks now for a backyard setup and I am nowhere closer to deciding on what projector to go with than I was 2 weeks ago. I started really thinking about screens a few days ago and I'm already set on which screen and I'm going to order it tomorrow, but I can see myself reading old thread after old thread for the next 2 weeks still trying to decide on a projector. Buying my house and cars were easier decisions than this.
I'd appreciate if you guys would just respond with which projector you would go if this was your setup.
This is what I'm working with:
- Backyard setup in a shaded area, I will be staring movies around sunset. Most viewing will be bluray movies but I would also be using it occasionally for watching football and playing games on a PS4.
- Screen: Carl's 2.39 195" (6.5' x 15') Flexiwhite screen
- Trying to keep price around $1,000 but would spend a few hundred more if necessary, but I doubt I can go over $1,500 without my wife freaking out. I am open to buying refurb to keep a more expensive projector under $1,500
Must haves:
- 1080p
- HDMI 1.4
- Full 1080p 3D
- Good picture quality
Optional/Wanted but could live without:
- Vertical lens shift or low projection offset, I would like to keep screen no more than 2' off of ground. Without it I think the projector will need to be mounted just a few inches from the ground.
- MHL
- 1.5 Zoom
- 2 HDMI inputs
- 6 speed color wheel
