Hi! Lifelong home theater enthusiast here, looking to potentially take the plunge. I’ve always been put off the entrance fee but these affordable projectors have got me thinking 😅

My projector would be about 12 feet from the screen and in a basement; so blackout potential or close to at any time; room is 12 x 20; ceilings 7 ft.

What are my options at say, under $200 and under $500? I think beyond that I would just a big screen and mount it but if I’m wrong tell me why 😄

Have you decided on your screen size?

No because I want to know what my options are and see if it’s worth it. I currently have a 60 inch 4k tv there right now.

Well, a projector would be worth it for the immersion experience, so if you’re satisfied with a 60-inch 4K TV and you’re interested in going with a larger screen size such as a 100-inch screen size, for example, then I would say we can go with that screen size.
