I'm looking to get a projector for my living room instead of a television. I have done a little bit of research (I don't know much about this topic) and apparently it needs to be above 3000 lumens to be watched in the day time. I'm not really fussed about using it for regular free to air digital TV (though I guess I can get a set top box for that) and would like it to be able to project to 100" and have at least 4k resolution; I'm planning on using it to watch stuff off my laptop and/or any streaming platforms.

Do you guys have any recommendations as to the best kind of projector for this purpose? I have a large wall I can project it over, at least 5 m, but I can have a shade installed.

dunno what kinda operation you got going there but a projector doesn't belong in a living room. a similarly-priced TV will always look much better because of how ambient light would ruin dark sections.

I would be surprised if anyone else here has a projector. All 5 of them.

Why not get a tv? This seems like a pain in the ass and presumably you'll need some sort of screen anyways to project onto.

I've used one at a house before, it's best if u put up a dark curtain or smthn to project on

A friend of mine has a fancy projector in his basement home theater, and I'll just say this: even in the most ideal circumstances these things suck in all honesty. Through another friend who has a less properly housed projector as well I can also say that any setup short of perfect will look that much worse. I opted to get a very big TV instead (the screen is 7 feet) and-even though I don't use it much myself-when I have guests over (which also doesn't happen much l-...LOL) they're always impressed. There's a reason projectors are typically much less expensive, they sound much better on paper than they seem to be in practice. Get a tv, man. It's more expensive but ultimately it's a quality of life thing if you use it enough, right?

I paid $1,500 (usd obv heh) for my tv by the way, which you probably make in less than a week you cheeky cunt; even as a retail wagie and despite not turning the thing on but once a month maybe less on average I still think it was well worth it. I use it infrequently enough that I'm not habituated to it and find myself getting mesmerized by the video quality and scale.

Link me to the TV you got/brand/etc; sounds like what I'd want fam
But I would have to get a unit for it because I'm thinking of panelling my wall.
Everything in Australia is super expensive so I bet it'll be like four times the cost here.

It's always been a childhood fantasy of mine to use a projector to watch movies in New places like outside on the wall of a house on a starry night or maybe pointed at the ceiling or downwards at the ground of a lawn, it could really make some movies pop. Like a private drive in

I was just thinking of that the other night, yeah a projector sucks compared to a TV but it definitely has its uses, they're small enough (even with a separate screen on a tripod or something) that you can easily bring them around with you. Watching a movie in the back yard having a couple of COLD ONES with THE BOYS would probably be pretty clutch

Thanks for the seethe material laddo, hadn't heard about that one before.
Every article refering to the wog bastards as boys and youths, the white lads getting sentenced for sending naughty text messages when shitskins were stabbing people and threatening to bomb the place and getting off with a few weeks community service.
Revolting stuff.

projectors can be noisy. Also pay attention to the image resolution.
