After having a projector, paid 600, screen 200... 120"

Strongly prefer to watch movies on projector as the light is directed away from your eyes, just feels so much more natural.

Watching a TV after the projector is almost like a flash light in comparison

This is my biggest worry going with a TV, too big and too bright. FPs are so much easier on the eyes...

I have been using an Optoma P2 Short Throw for some time and I dont think I will go back to a TV. You will need a fixed screen for the projector a drop down screen will not work great. I had an Epson 4010 in the past but I do like the Optoma more.

Cheers

I thought about it, but to me, a 100” LCD or OLED was a heck of a lot more than the cost of a projector. I haven't spent more than. $1500 on any of the 3 projectors I've owned to date. I shop Epson's refurbished store, or in the most recent purchase, I bought a used JVC. Now, a projector at that price might not be native 4K and it won't do HDR as well either, but I still prefer the look of a projector for movies.

The 4000, 4010, and 5040UB are all well reviewed projectors that can accept 4K signal. I do see some Hisense models that are priced around $1600 for a 100” size, but I don't know how the Black levels compare to Epson's UB series. Maybe it's a closer comparison these days. I was last looking over a year ago.
