As per subject in the market for one of these

- will be used in a man room for movies and ps4 etc
- must be hd
- ideally 3d with the glasses in one package
- budget around 300 quid

I know there is led / led / dlp - but what is best for me?

Input appreciated

Cheers
 
No personal knowledge but when I needed to buy one for work I got it from these guys. Really helpful. No connection with me in any way, just a happy customer:

Your budget might be a challenge.
 
I bought this one yesterday for 345

You'll struggle to get 1080p 3D for £300, check out something like the Optoma HD26 for around £500. Also demo a DLP projector as some people are susceptible to colour rainbows caused by the colour wheel.
 
They demoed it it ask direct store on Tottenham court road yesterday

Yea I'm ok with the 720p side of things. I can't warrant the extra £££ for what it will be used for to be honest. This will be my first projector for a man cave in my new house.

Next thing to buy is some surround sound - will be used for ps4 and the occasional movie. Suggestions?
 
I bought a 55" tv for the front room the same day ;)
The projector is just for the big boys room!
 
You cant go wrong with optoma projectors, my first projector was the Optoma HD20 which i've had for 3 years now and its been faultless over 1800 hours. For best results though you want a batcave style room and a decent screen.

Sound system all comes down to budget.
 
I am reading this thread with interest.

Have a good Harmon Kardon sound system worth a shot for someone interested in home cinema.

Re optoma had never heard of them but will check them out. Currently wanting to upgrade my cinema setup and the new big Led TVs are quite cheaper so in a dilemma.
 
I had a JVC x30 ...beast of a projector. Sold it last year with a brand new bulb and 4 years warranty.


I'd advise browsing avforums,ebay and Gumtree for a good Projector at a good price.

you're looking at an optoma at that price.

I would NOT bother with 3D ...even on project its a big "meh" for me.

I'd say try find a second hand 1080p projector with good contract ratios.
SONY HW10 MIGHT be in your price range now but i'm not 100% sure.

NOTE: I can NOW see you bought an optoma... enjoy!
 
I ended up buying a 60" (151cm) and very happy with it!

Good size for a home cinema too.

I have 40" 3D TV and have tested 3D samples once or twice, but not convinced. 2D objects in different layers.. :thumbsdown:

I'm still happy with my 7 year old 720p Pana PT-AE100 projector + 90" screen :D
