Buying screen + projector ...Please advise.

[Thaiman]

Hi people, yes, I still alive 😉

I am in a market for a complete projector set up, looking for 55 - 60 inches. The watching position is from 3.5 metre away from the wall.

Any suggestion please?

thanks

That's very small for a projector - thought about a big TV?

I have a pioneer Kuro TV which is possibly one of the best but it's may be out of action for few months (need board re-fitting) I have a look at big samsung LED but not really keen on the picture.

Yes, for the money a half decent projector and screen would cost it hardly seems worth the effort just for 60"?

my bad, sorry. I meant 55 - 60 inches size of flatscreen tele.

Basicly, 4 ft long and 3 ft down or there about.

many thanks

Yes, that would be 60 inches, as we said surely it would make more sense to buy a 60" TV? Projectors are really for 80"+. I'm not sure you could even get a projector screen that small to be honest.

damm, thanks for that.

I suppose I could re-organise my room to have screen on another wall to fit a 80" screen.

I want something that better than my pioneer Kuro but after looking around and demo a few set of LED, its going to be very difficult.

It's the scale/size of the projected image that is really impressive, completely occupying your attention and most of your field of view. And as it's a reflected image, it's (in my opinion) much less tiring on the eyes than a big tv.

So if you can get 80" or more, then you'll be in for a treat!

Depending on which gen Kuro you have probably the only 'better' TV around that size is the panasonic zt60. Most PJs probably aren't better unless you spend five figures, much of the gain with a PJ is in scale rather than outright quality.

My Kuro was the last one sold in UK so I suppose it was a later spec, anyway, Panasonic ZT 60 eh? I will have a look. many thx
