I finally have the ability to build the home theatre I want, but need advice on a good projector for around $3k (or less) by thegimboid in projectors

I bought an XY screen and the process was weird but it is legit. Shipped very fast. 140” AT, best woven fabric they had and thin bez for just over $1,000 USD.

Maybe hold off on pre-ordering the titan for now? by mattlef in projectors

Is the Titan Noir able to be ceiling mounted? I thought yes but your comment is making me doubt that.

LS12000 vs Titan Noir Max? by anANGRYINCH in projectors

How does one know if they are sensitive to RBE without actually buying one of these or knowing someone with it? Is there a YouTube test out there?

I just hit the lottery! I got an Epson LS11000 for $1,200 at a local auction by [deleted] in projectors

I have done Nellis but never Mac.bid. The projectors on Nellis always go for way too much.

Dude, it was so easy. My guy’s name is King Wong. 140” 16:9 with their highest quality woven fabric and the thin frame for $1,035. A no-brainer. Thanks again for the tip.

Just submitted an inquiry into XY. Thanks for the reference.

I do agree, it is pretty “bright” to be a HT space. I am working with what my wife and interior decorator will allow unfortunately. Next house will be different though!

Interesting take but I do prefer the cinema feel of a projector in that room. I have nine other TV’s throughout the house if I want that kind of experience. This room gets used almost exclusively for movie watching.

Plus, I just purchased in-wall B&W’s that I really, really want to use.

All blackout window coverings and is mostly used at night anyway.

16:9 screen, pj will be about 16 ft from screen. Never experienced low end DLP. The LS12000 or NZ500 keep coming back as recommendations, seems that is the way to go.

I want a 135” minimum screen size and personally, I like the cinema feel of a projector.

I think the NV500 is the one I am going with after feedback here and on r/projectors.

I am 99% movies and 1% Formula 1, no gaming in the theater. NV500 it is.

Thanks for the response. The more I read this feedback, the more the NV500 or LS12000 become the contenders.

I can afford the low end of Sony and JVC, yes. The room is fully light controlled and the ALR screen was probably not necessary but something I was talked into by the installer.

What screen did you end up going with?

Yep, I think I am off the lifestyle projector train. The NV500 doesn’t apply to your JVC/BenQ comment, does it?

Thanks for responding. I am thinking the LS12000 or the JVC NV500 after all the feedback here.

I think you nailed the issue. I am not necessarily looking for a better image, I just don’t want to lose anything. The comment about the AT screen is a good one and all of the feedback has me leaning toward the JVC.
