I'm struggling to get some clarity around which projectors i should be looking at around this price mark. Any views please??? I would like 3d if I can but will predominately watch 2d

jcshutts said:4k passthrough bla bla bla. what does that actually mean. I am thinking over my dilemma. If I spend too much on a projector now and in 18 months time, the standard quality for viewing is Ultra HD or 4K, then my projector is not only outdated, it is missing out on a significant development in home viewing since the introduction of High Definition.
So what does 4 K passthrough mean? Is it possible that source products such as blue rays will be able to play 4k discs and send the signal in Ultra HD through the processor which has a 4k passthrough certification, into the projector which has a similar certification and then display a 4 k image? does that mean that the projector also has to have the 4k passthrough (I am not aware of any yet), in order to carry the signal through the the screen? Is it a case that provided one of the items in the loop has true 4k capability and the others allow the signal to 'passthrough' then the image will remain Ultra HD?

should I chose an anamorphic sized screen or a 16:9. Its a little confusing?
DandyCobalt said:I'm in a similar situation but more in the £2-£3k bracket. Looking to buy a projector for the in-laws who are building a house somewhere sunny.
It won't be ready until July, and I'm charged with fitting the home cinema room in the basement (shame I'll only be there for two weeks a year :-(
Screen is a 106" fixed screen that I got from SSAV in their clearance sale (£150 for one that cost £1,300 new) and I'm passing on my LX53 receiver to them.
I have a Sony HW15 at home and it is great, but the HW30 apparently has 300 extra lumens, and the HW50 is the dog's "little bits" according to all the reviews. A real bargain at about £3k now.
But should I also wait until 4k passes down to the HW50 price level?
