I'm looking to purchase a projector.
I thought I'd see if anyone had any suggestions?
I'd seen the Benq TK800M in this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/485647 but it was a little more than I wanted to pay.
Should I try and pick up a cheap 720p projector on gumtree?
Is there a reasonable 1080p projector new?
I'd be mainly using it for the occasional big football game or movie night.
nothing great to recommend, but if you might wanna use it a bit more often and a regular projector isnt very convenient in your setup, this might be something to consider if you can find it somewhere in your budget. a friend had one and it was pretty good and much easier to live with than a regular projector. he basically had it right up against the wall, and in silent mode, but the picture size and quality were quite good.
only good if you would benefit from the convenience, otherwise they arent great value compared to a regular long throw
i personally have a shitty $100ish aliexpress projector. picture sucks, brightness sucks, its annoying to set up etc.
still awesome to watch movies on though. hard to complain about a big picture. cant go too wrong with whatever you end up with
