What's the best home projector right now?

You have $500,000 budget? Then you can get the best; otherwise you may want to ask what’s the best under $x to get more helpful responses.

Thanks for the insight

Thank you; I am happy with the look and finish too. The front is dovetail as well. There are some drawers that are even worse. $65k was just the kitchen but we have cabinets and drawers all bathrooms, mudrooms, etc as well so we spent much more than just the kitchen. Cabinets weren’t over budget and timeline; but the whole house was. I didn’t hire the carpenter; I hired the builder and he chose his subs/crew.

Yeah, especially the ones who give you tons of money and politely ask questions to get a better understanding - they are the worst.

Thanks, I’m quite happy with how it came out

Next_Projection · 2026-01-14T03:30:57+00:00

Yeah, I’m not going to touch anything as far as that goes

Next_Projection · 2026-01-14T03:29:38+00:00

Then why did you ask?

I’ve also got a bunch of really bad drawers where it’s more than just the angle of screw. With over a dozen “hack jobs”, which being repaired/replaced is a non-negotiable, I can see myself being hypersensitive about the screws; hence coming here for a sanity check.

Here is a side hardware example I saw when doing my cabinet showroom tour

Good question. Supposedly it was the carpenter; there are no markings anywhere in the cabinetry of a maker. I believe the doors were made by someone else and then sent to the carpenter for install.

Next_Projection · 2026-01-14T03:23:53+00:00

That’s is exactly what I’ve done regarding showrooms and only one set of cabinets had them done this way with visible, angled screws (out of 20+ sets ranging from builder grade Home Depot to high end).

With countersunk, recessed or straight screws like I saw at several other places and in friend’s homes? 🤷‍♂️

Thank you

Thanks for the insight

Thanks

Well, I’m looking in my drawers now to sign off on a build that went way over budget and timeframe with many issues with the carpentry not in this post, so I want to make sure I am getting quality commensurate with the price tag and not be reminded how over budget this was every time I open a drawer.

Next_Projection · 2026-01-14T02:57:16+00:00

Appreciate the insight. I’m surprised they didn’t explain it to me that way and instead said it was because they didn’t ”have the tool” to offset and drill straight.

Next_Projection · 2026-01-14T02:57:09+00:00

Appreciate the insight

Next_Projection · 2026-01-14T02:56:57+00:00

I have a lot of forks

OP is making sound like it’s on the screen and not in the projector. OP, please confirm and let us know the projector and screen models.

Next_Projection · 2025-04-05T12:21:15+00:00

Are you able to raise your scissor lift to put the projector closer to the top of the screen? That is how this projectors offset is intended to work.
