Hi,
Over the last week I've been looking for a projector that would match my throw distance and screen width. I ended up getting the Optoma HD39Darbee but I'm not happy as it is too big and I think overkill for my use (will return).
I would to get something smaller and more appropriate for the spac. and would really appreciate advice on options.
These are my requirements:
- Throw distance: 3.80 m
- Screen width: 200cm (that's the wall space I have). More than that there is a door, but I could maybe fit 210cm.
- Use: Movies (dark room, don't care about lumens).
- Size: smaller than the HD39Darbee
- Budget: Under $1000
Is there something at all in the market? I have spend days looking and cannot finder anything and I don't get why. I thought maybe it was that it was set at Full HD projectors and that was too high-res for the space, but even at lower res can't find anything good I do not want to get a short-throw projector as I like having it on the back of the room (3.80m) I have found the ViewSonic PA503W but it's still a bit big.
I guess I'm realising that I should go below Full-HD for my distance/screen width, and aim for XGA instead. Is that a fair assumption?
I did this filter now based on it. Thank you!
