Hi all....
currently converting my shed to a man cave/ music room and am gonna put a projector in it for PC/Xbox/ps4 fun too... I’ve a pit of lazy boys and a 5.1 surround system too
I’ve been looking at the Optoma gt 1080 Darbee aS it seems to be great for gaming but I hear great things about the BenQ one too.... 3D will be a great plus for the kids also...
any advice on the projector front? I’m guessing 4K projectors will be common as muck in about 3 years and I’m not looking for 4K anyways so should I just buy something like the Optoma HD 142 for about e500 and replace it in a few years time? As most YT videos are terrible for home gaming setups has anyone used one and been happily pleased?
my next question therefore is the screen.... I have a space of about 10foot by 7 for the screen wall.... will I just go with a pair of ikea blinds initially and see how I get on?
Cheers!

my tuppence worth is I’ve seen a better image on a lesser spec machine projected on a good screen than a better spec machine on a cheap screen.

There are three 1-star reviews; two don't like the inbuilt speaker (well, duh) and one thought they could stream full HD video to it via wifi.
All the people who read what it was for before buying it gave it 4 or 5 out of 5...
