Used Epson 1985WU for a beginner?
I've been plann to replace my TV with a new one, but I just stumbled across someone locally selling this projector. Without knowing much else, would this be a good option?
I imagine I would only need to buy a screen and a mount and be done.
I'd likely mount it on the ceiling, the wall would be about 10 to 12 feet from my chair. The room is light grey with a white ceiling and dark grey carpet. Well be remodeling at some point over the next couple years to a much darker wall color.
There's a window to the left of the potential projection wall, about 20 feet behind where I'd be sitting is glass doors to a sunroom and another fairly large window perpendicular to that during the day there can be a lot of indirect light glaring off my TV. Curtains help, but it would mostly be used in the evening anyway. Movies would be the primary use.
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated!
