Anyone know the best 4k laser projector for home theater setup?

Dude just get whatever's on sale at costco. Spent way too much time researching "perfect" projector when honestly they all look good in dark rooms. Analysis paralysis is real with this stuff

4k is overrated unless you sit super close. Most people can't tell difference between good 1080p and 4k at normal viewing distances. Save your money and get better sound system instead

My wife made me return two projectors because fan noise drove her crazy during quiet movie scenes. Apparently i'm deaf but she can hear every electronic hum. Test noise levels if you have sensitive ears in household

went crazy researching and ended up with the samsung premiere ust beast. Ridiculously expensive but holy crap the picture quality makes my old TV look like a gameboy screen. Wife stopped complaining about the cost after first movie night

Laser projectors break just like everything else electronic. Mine died 2 weeks after warranty expired and repair cost more than buying new one. Extended warranty is mandatory with these expensive toys

why not just get 85" TV instead? prices have dropped so much that big screen TVs cost less than good projectors and way brighter picture quality. projectors feel outdated honestly

Basement humidity will murder electronics eventually. Learned this lesson with expensive equipment. Dehumidifier isn't optional it's required unless you like replacing stuff constantly

Gaming on projectors sucks compared to modern TVs. Input lag and response time issues make competitive gaming frustrating. Great for movies terrible for anything requiring quick reactions

Mount that thing professionally or prepare for disaster. DIY ceiling install seemed easy until projector fell during avengers endgame climax. Contractor wasn't cheap but neither was replacing broken equipment

Tested bunch of models at local best buy and WEMAX Nova impressed me most for picture clarity and ease of setup. Sales guy actually knew what he was talking about unlike usual clueless retail experience

Check the DLP rainbow effect if you're sensitive to motion artifacts - some people see color separation flashes during fast scenes that can cause headaches. Not everyone notices but when you do it's really annoying and ruins the experience

Bought mine during black friday for like 40% off regular price. Patience pays off with expensive electronics. Unless you need it immediately wait for major sales events

installation location matters way more than projector specs. Mounted mine too close to air conditioning vent and cold air hitting hot projector created condensation inside lens. Expensive lesson about proper placement

Streaming 4k looks terrible compared to physical discs on big screens. Compression artifacts become obvious at large sizes. If you're serious about quality invest in UHD player and discs not just netflix

honestly just pick one and stop overthinking. Been "researching" for 3 years while watching movies on crappy old TV. Perfect is enemy of good enough and you'll never make decision otherwise

Neighbors complained about sound coming through shared basement wall. Apparently my "quiet" movie nights weren't so quiet. Consider soundproofing if you have attached housing situation like mine
