Looking for a projector to throw a long distance to a smaller screen
Hi all
I've been lurking on here to find a good solution to our problem.
We currently have a cheap Magicube-projector installed in our living room to try if having a projector is "the thing" for us, instead of a television.
Which it is!
The problem is we need to throw over a distance of 4.3 meters (170 inch) onto a (dropdown) screen of 2 meters (78 inch) screen.
I know the general advice is to use a television screen for such a situation, but since the screen drops down in front of a large window, we won't be placing a television in front of it.
We tried zooming in (20x) and the quality is still alright by our needs, although the image is still a bit too wide for our screen (about 10%).
Altering the image through keystone works, but the quality is terrible.
Which options would you suggest?
Some extra info:
- the projector sits right in front of the screen
- ceiling mount is no option
- we'd prefer a relatively quiet projector
- a somewhat better lumen to watch with some daylight would be nice. Although beating our current € 70 projector shouldn't be too hard
- a minimum of two HDMI-ports would be nice as well
- bluetooth for sound (speaker in front of the screen)
- max. Budget of €1000, prefer less of course
- available in Europe
Many thanks in advance!
