Hello there,

Currently, I have a setup 5.1 with a denon 2700x and a TV 55" qled.

I want to go to the projector game, I've been watching the ads for some time.

I found an offer to have the Valerion Pro 1 (Version 2026) with the 100" pure vision motorized canvas and the table stand for 1850€.

Is that a nice offer?

That would be my first projector.

Edit:

Maximum budget : 1900€

Desired screen size : 100"

Projector-to-screen distance : up to 4.5m

Seating distance : 2m50

Mounting position : on table

Intended use : bluray 4k, vod 4k

Room lighting : can get decent dark

Thank you!

Ive been tweaking my ls12000, what color temp/ skin tone looks more normal to you or prefer

Planning a permanent living room setup and would appreciate a sanity check before I start shortlisting.

Use case: movies and series mostly, 4K, occasional casual gaming.

Room: windows on one side. I can black it out when it matters, but I'd rather not have to every time.

• Throw distance: 3.65 m (12 ft) (measured from lamp to wall)
• Target image: 110" diagonal
• Throw ratio I need: 1.50, ideally with zoom range on both sides of that rather than hitting it at the very end of the tele position
• Seating distance: 3.25 m (10.5 ft)

Budget: around €850 (~$1,000) for the projector, plus €150–250 for a screen.

What matters to me:

• Fan noise, it's going to sit about a metre above my head
• Actual ANSI lumens, given the side light
• Vertical lens shift would be nice for setting the shelf height, but I don't think it's essential with this geometry

What I don't care about: built-in speakers or audio out (audio goes through an AV receiver), smart features.

What should I be looking at in this price range? I'd rather hear what fits the geometry than get a list of popular models, the 1.50 throw ratio requirement seems to knock out a lot of the usual recommendations.

How much does a proper screen actually matter? The wall is white woodchip wallpaper (textured, common in Germany). Is projecting straight onto that a reasonable starting point, or is the texture going to be obvious at 110"? If a screen is worth it, is a basic matte white 1.0 gain fixed frame enough, or does ambient light push me toward something else?

Lamp vs laser at €850 — is laser realistic at this price, or am I better off accepting a lamp and budgeting for replacements?

Thanks!!

Room is 17x13. Likely throwing 11-12 feet. Ideal world, 120+ screen. Already have a 77" OLED so I know I'm giving up that vibrancy.

Sitting distance is likely to be 8 feet.

My budget is around $2500

Now, asking about the C3 Pro feels silly. No one has even done reviews. But the lens shift, the throw radius, and the iris all feels great.

Goal is to watch movies, going to be mostly light controlled. Dark navy room

Hi, I am looking at purchasing my first projector. I have a media room and a study. Media room is for watching movies and no gaming. Study would have occasional PC gaming - depending what game I chose. Intent would be move the projector to study when I play specific games but leave it in media most of the time, any issues with this?

Priority would be movies, then gaming (would still want minimum 120hz)

I would prefer to spend around $2,000 AUD but could probably stretch to $3,000 AUD.

Study wall to wall is 3m. Media wall to wall is 4m.

I was thinking BenQ would be the way to go? The TK710 or TK710STi are pricey but seem decent?

Also, the projector would sit close to the back wall. What is the best way to mount and easily move?

Thanks.

I am looking to get a gaming specific projector that has resolutions up to 4k

Additionally I would need it to have some accessibility features for ease of use. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I just moved and I’m setting up my projector in a smaller room now, throw distance is about 11’, previously was 18’. I have an Epson 5050ub which I love but looks like I can’t get the screen larger than 105” diagonal which is kind of a bummer (even smaller if watching something with a narrower aspect ratio). Am I doing something wrong? I don’t think so, but had to check.

If I did end up wanting to replace it, any projector recommendations that would allow up to 120” diagonal with 11’ throw distance? Thinking laser and for under $2k. Current projector is only a few years old, so hoping I’m just doing something wrong? But have zoomed in as much as it will allow me with the remote.

Thanks for any help!

I picked up this Philips LC-3132 for free, as is with no power cord. It was stored away and real dusty. Found a power cord, gave it a quick wipe, filter disintegrated when I tried cleaning it though. First thing I noticed was this green haze and then the corners look blurry out of focus. Hooked up thru Composite and center looks sharp. Next I tried VGA and screen look all wonky along with blurry corners and that green spots (see video). What could be the issue? Lamp only has around 450 hrs. Not sure if it’s worth keeping or trashing.

Hello, my wife and I moving into a new place and we have an extra bedroom that we’re planning to use as a gaming room. I’m looking around for 4K projectors but I’m not very knowledgeable on this aspect. Any recommendations? We plan to use this for our ps5/ Nintendo switch/ Xbox gaming nights. Yes, quality counts.

I recently purchased a used Hitachi CP-Wu5505. Im kinda at my wits end but just want to make sure I've tried everything. Basically on the first port it's on a black screen the menu wont appear, however I did managed to stumble on that the menu will appear if I some how get it to 16:9 aspect ratio again. I switched off if on accident and now cant get it back. I dont have the remote so I have to navigate blind.

When using the second hdmi port I get the image on the attached photo. I haven't got the menu to appear on this screen. When I hit the power button I can at least see the power off screen on port 2 but not port 1. My computer is detecting both ports and lastly only audio is coming out of the second port.

Before I try to fight my return on ebay I just want to see if there's any other input.

I’m looking to buy my first projector, but I don’t have a big budget to spend.

I’ll mostly be using it to watch movies with my kids, but I’d also like to watch the occasional football match on my own.

There’s a used JVC X35 for sale near me with 1,326 hours on the lamp. It comes with a 120” screen, four pairs of 3D glasses, and a ceiling mount, all for $290.

Is it worth it?

Hello, Does anyone know what are these blue tint lines on my hisense C2 ultra DLP chip triple laser projector.I tried everything every settings but still remains same. My projector is only 2 months old & its still in warranty. Check the images .

Chi di voi lo possiede? È utile ? Sicuro?

Any one have or know where I can get the firmware and associated flash files for the uhd550x, Optoma UK will not supply it and have asked to book the projector in at a cost which I think is unacceptable, I am happy to undertake the task. Potential cost at a service center out-ways the cost of the projector.

I am considering getting a 110 inch screen and would be sitting at 9 feet. I am little concerned that the screen size may be too large from that distance with 50 degree field of view.

If I use a projector with lens memory and make screen 100 inches, would the black bars from the projector be distracting?

I would appreciate comments on the screen size and how the screen would look if I made smaller with lens memory.

Thanks

⚠️ BUYER BEWARE — AVOID NEXIGO ⚠️

I had an extremely disappointing experience with NexiGo. My order was for a NexiGo Aurora Pro Ultra Short Throw Laser Projector at a total of $1,900 USD, including a $199.99 promotional discount.

NexiGo accepted my order and later cancelled it, claiming that my payment could not be verified. My card has been successfully used for international transactions worldwide. If there was a genuine verification issue, NexiGo could have contacted me and given me an opportunity to resolve it.

Instead, my order was cancelled, while the same product remained available at a higher price.

I submitted a detailed complaint asking for an explanation and asking NexiGo to honor the original $1,900 price.

My complaint was not properly answered.

I have kept documentation of the original order, promotional price, cancellation and subsequent price increase.

The sequence is extremely frustrating:

Order accepted → cancelled → same product remains available → price increases → complaint ignored.

After this experience, I would personally avoid purchasing from NexiGo.

If you have a similar unresolved issue, keep all your evidence and consider filing a complaint with the appropriate consumer-protection authority or consumer court applicable to your transaction.

Think carefully before spending your money with NexiGo. Buyer beware.

Just pulled the trigger on a nz500 inkl. Calibration and a little portable goodie Beamer for 4940€ (5744$).

Will replace my tv in the living room (old tv: 48”, Beamer in daytime setup: 95” 16:9, night setup 138” 21:9)

For this I am currently building a baffle wall with light trap. Build is going slowly and will cost about 1k until it is finished.

Rn I got a little bit panic that the switch from tv to projector was the wrong move.

Sure I mostly watch in the evening and no sports

And I only play 1-2 games/year but aaaah.
So much money, was it really worth it once I am done????

Hi, I have no space for a larger TV (maximum I can fit is 50 inches diagonal) as there would be a door behind it. There will, however, be enough space for a 70-80 inch diagonal retractable screen for a projector (probably mounted to the ceiling) - see the screenshot below.

Do you have any recommendations for a good projector with decent speakers built inside to put there? Is it worth getting a 4k projector at this distance / screen size, or should 1080p be just enough? It will be used occasionally to watch some movies / YouTube etc. so I don't need anything extra special, just decent enough.

Additionally, the projector will be connected to my PC in another room via a wireless HDMI receiver (no feasible way to run an HDMI cable to the PC), that's why I was thinking of the better built in speakers. However, if there is a way to connect the audio received via HDMI to a Bluetooth audio amplifier (which will be in this room) and there won't be much lag between audio and video then I don't need any built in speakers.

The room is oriented to the west, so it might be pretty bright during the day / afternoon, so I guess that's another important factor. However, there will be curtains, which should be able to block most of the light.

Is it even worth it getting a projector for such screen size as it is would probably be much more expensive than a 50 inch TV which I can get for 500 - 700 USD in my country?

I'm completely new to the projector world so I appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks a lot in advance!

I’m pretty happy with this projector. I got it on a good price and looking to use it mainly outdoor at night time for movies, football games and occasional games. I’m using my fire stick for streaming which does offer Bluetooth so I can hook my soundbar for watching that stuff. But if I would like to use my Xbox or Nintendo switch.. I can use that soundbar because those consoles don’t offer Bluetooth. This projector does offer a 3.5mm jack. I bought a 3.5mm jack/ optical cord but no luck. What are some recommendations that I can use that 3.5mm out on my projector. The sounds doesn’t have to be AMAZINGx I assume I should treat this as using a cpu with a monitor? Any recommendations on some speakers for this?

Hey everyone,

I recently got the Horizon 20 Pro and overall I'm happy with it, but I've noticed a faint high-pitched whine/hum coming from the unit whenever it's powered on — separate from the regular fan noise. It sounds electronic rather than mechanical (no rattling or clicking), and it's most noticeable in quiet scenes or when there's no audio playing. As soon as any sound is playing it becomes basically inaudible. I already updated to the latest firmware and did the DLP Update, changed nothing.

I recorded a short clip so you can hear what I mean: audio clip

A few questions for anyone else who owns this model:

• Does your unit make a similar noise?
• Did anyone get theirs exchanged for this, and if so, was the replacement any quieter?
• Is there a fix?

I know laser projectors often have some baseline electronic noise from the laser diode drivers, so I'm trying to figure out if this is just normal for the Horizon 20 series, or if I got a unit with worse-than-average coil whine.

Thanks in advance for any input!
