Help finding projector in Australia
Location: Melbourne, Australia
Dimensions: 4.2m x 3.6m. Hoping to project onto a 170cm x 170cm blackout blind from about 3.5m, or I would consider options for a short throw.
Budget: Definitely under $1,000, ideally under $500
I bought a second-hand noname projector from an op shop for $50 years ago which I've enjoyed but looking to upgrade. It's quite large and loud!
Ideally I'm looking for one with a smaller footprint and quieter.
I was initially looking at new options but I've been swayed to a second-hand option based on this subreddit - just feeling a bit lost!
I found:
