So Im starting to plan to building a home theater in our guest bedroom. My wife has signed off and Im running with it, haha.
The room has 1 window, its approximately 14' x 10' (subtract the 3'x6' closet in the corner and 9' high ceilings. I can control the light almost completely with what I call my vampire accordion looking shades/blinds.
My grand plan is to build a curved screen on the 11' wall, (possibly one that is portable), put all the electronics (receiver, bluray//dvd player, home theater PC, xbox, etc) in the closet and run the cables along the roof to the projector (roof mounted of course), and piece together a 7.1 audio system.
SO with all that laid down, I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on the projector, Im looking for the best bang for my buck, Im hoping to keep it under 1500 (or less). After looking around here, seems like the BenQ ones are pretty popular, I used their online tool and looks like my best option would be the W1080ST
Any other suggestions?
I want something pretty good quality as far as the picture, a little noise wouldnt bother me big time, but dont want it to be super loud.
Thanks.
