I've been a projector user since late 2008. I built a soundproofed media room in the basement for movie viewing and video gaming...
1st projector I bought was online from a place in Quebec. It was an Epson HC720. free extra bulb with rebate. ~$1500 Boxing Week (2016?) I bought a projector from a place in Oakville near the QEW/403. Great price. It was an Epson 1080UB, again free extra bulb with rebate. Very happy with the upgrade, and it was sub $2000 IIRC I can control the lights in my room. painted the walls and ceiling dark colours by the screen. 120" DIY screen I blogged about it back in 2008. I will leave this link public for a few days... http://blog.pjbj.ca/search/label/home%20theater Amazing what you can do with money saved buying oil on sale. Nvrmind... OP is looking for something different. |

Also second Stephenson's Electronics, been dealing with them for 10+ years and they are great people with the best prices by far. Just got a 65" Sony A1E OLED from them a couple weeks back and it is stunning. |
If there is ambient light, you'll probably have to spend more for the screen that can cope with the extra light. They are typically more grey than white. I setup my theater downstairs where there is a walk out basement so ambient light was also an issue. I ended up going with a screen innovations (slate screen) which works well with the lights on or if there is some ambient light.
http://www.screeninnovations.com projector I use is Sony VPL-HW40ES but that was two years ago. It's quiet, and easily adjustable to make the image fit the screen. I'm sure there are better versions of this out now. |
Not really a good room to use a projector. With that big uncovered window the picture even with a high quality projector will be very washed.
We have a theater in the house with a 150" screen in a dedicated room, less light the better the picture. You can get some really really good picture quality Optoma projectors for not a lot of money. I have one we use for outdoor movie night at the cottage. |
Might wanna try avsforum since this is not a car :)
