Hello all. Never had a projector but I'm remodeling and arranging my bedroom so was seriously considering a budget projector.
Bedroom is 11x17. ceiling mount is a requirement. There is a ceiling fan dead center.
Had some questions:
1. Short throw or no? I can use either option based on the measurements I took. standard projector would be almost directly above my head. Short throw would be in front of me and visible. will this be too distracting?? Will a standard budget projector be too noisy above my head??
2. Really have my eyes on the epson home cinema 2000 because of the cheaper and more universal 3d options, cheap bulbs, cheap price. I know as far as reviews/picture quality go there are several better budget options, especially the benq models. Is the quality difference that dramatic? This will replace my led tv for all things so bulb cost is troubling me the most (3d cost a distant second)
3. How big is too big for bedroom (don't get nasty! LoL)?? I'm thinking of getting a 100 inch screen that will fit perfectly over my bedroom windows and block out ambient light at the same time. Should I consider something smaller. Something larger?
4. I've been living off of built in tv sound in my bedroom for a long long time and have no problem with it as I'm certainly no audiophile. Any cheap receiver recommendations? Will the built in sound be close enough to tv sound??
Thank you for reading and your input!!
