My TV died today and at first I was upset. Upon further reflection, I am okay with it. I’m not going to replace it. Perhaps this is the way?

I had been considering that when this one went. The timing is kinda decent cause I am going to be moving in a few months. Does the room need to be dark or is the brightness adequate for normal lighting?
It depends on the projector and how picky you are. Also, if you have a nice white wall vs something darker.
For me I have a cheap one around $80, and on a white matte wall you don’t need the windows closed to see and enjoy the screen, but if the wall wasn’t white it would be a different story, and if the overhead lights are on it would wash out a fair bit.
With a higher end unit that puts out more lumens, you could overcome most of those issues and still save space.
So really just depends on your expectations. For me, I’m not watching things that need perfect fidelity, and I don’t need my overhead lights on while watching, so I can get away with an inexpensive unit.
Thanks for info! Much appreciated!
generally the cheaper ones need a dark room. they are listed as having < 1000 lumens (check out aaxa for example). some expensive projectors are as bright as 10.000 lumens which is ridiculous. also if you want 4K instead of 1024 pixels its another big difference.
