Hi there, so I'm in Canada and unfortunately when looking for the Optoma PH31 everyone recommends, on Amazon.ca it's $800 CAD (equivalent to 600 USD) which doesn't really make much sense as a budget option anymore. The seller for the $269 USD PH31 does not ship to Canada. I do live near the border and my plan was to buy on Amazon.com instead and have it shipped to an Amazon locker there but the seller doesn't ship to lockers there as well.

Just wondering what are alternatives to the PH31? Projector is going to be used in an almost pitch black bedroom about 10 feet from the wall. Just want a good value projector that plays 1080p native content, good brightness, contrast, under 400 USD. Mainly used for movies, tv shows, and occasional casual gaming sessions.

Hi there, I've been eyeing an Epson Home Cinema 2100 for around $200 USD or $300 CAD. The current bulb inside doesn't work so this price includes getting a new bulb from Epson.

I'm pretty particular about image quality and getting the best bang for buck such as 1080p native, gaming capable but with a focus on movies/tv shows, and longevity of the device.

The room that's it's going to be used in is a bedroom, about 10 feet in length and width and current setup is mounting a cheap portable Chinese Amazon projector to the wall.

The cheap portable Chinese Amazon projector is pretty terrible, runs 480p native, lens is dirty, blurry on the sides, handles motion awfully, and just plain out looks bad.

I'm just afraid that getting this Epson projector would be overkill. Is it worth it over cutting my budget and getting a Happrun H1 or a similarity priced XGIMI?
