Projectors

[usn90]

I currently have a 65” Q7F Samsung tv which is great, however I’m thinking of getting a projector for films and sport, I don’t want to go any bigger with a tv as I use it for gaming and don’t quite fancy having anything bigger.

Having recently completely redecorated the living room I want something relative sleek/ modern looking, I’m not going to be able to pass off a big bulky projector and screen with the mrs.

I’ve seen some labelled “short throw” etc and thought I’d best ask here for advice as I’ve no experience on projectors.

I assume the hdmi cables connect to the projector which is usually situated on the ceiling behind you, which is rather annoying as we had the ceiling down a few weeks ago so would have been an ideal time to route the cables, I’m hesitant to start making a huge mess again, what are the ones which sit under the screen like?

Screen wise, I’ve seen the ceiling flush units which would be great, only issue is the joists are running the wrong way for this setup, I’ve seen the rise up screens however there very expensive.

Basically I’m after a nice subtle modern 4K decent projector and screen which won’t involve having to tear the room apart to get it looking subtle, if such thing exists?

Budget wise, I’m looking for no more than £3000 for both projector and screen

Yes I was looking at the ultra short throws on richer sounds, good to hear these aren’t really compromise on the traditional projectors.

We have the tv wall mounted with a Sonos playbar wall mounted underneath and a tv unit underneath that so would be looking to place the projector on the unit and have a screen drop/rise to cover the tv, in fact it would have to drop or we would also cover the Sonos!
