Hi AVS. Long, long time lurker and avid reader, seldom poster
What I am looking for is a projector to replace my beloved 3-lamps-in Sanyo plz4. I am not a noob, I've DIY'd projectors, I have an excellent HTPC and overall setup.
What I want is a modern, 1080p projector that can produce LUMENS. TV Lumens.
I am fixed at 15' distance, and 144" screen. No options there.
What I am hoping a post brings me is 3 good recommendations for a projector that will equal or exceed my z4 for picture, but bring me brightness. Excessive brightness, considering my long throw and large screen. I haven't looked at new projectors in years although I've read many threads.
3 recs without having to scour a million fanboy threads, preferably under $3k but if it takes more, so be it. My only goal is to increase lumens, even my 720p z4 produces a fantastic picture with modern up scaling software (normally JRiver). Ridiculous lumens! Give me daylight TV using modern PJ technology.
Thanks AVS!
