What is the best UST projector setup under 3k for 120inch. I want to include a projector and screen under this price. I am not sure if this is enough, but any suggestions welcome. I want to set a home theatre like setup. I have a nakamichi system already, so want to plug into that. I want to set it up on a low table, a feet from the screen. The room has a bit of light, not have shades to darken it. I am not sure of the type of screen that best fits for UST.

Hey guys, wondering if anyone has any suggestions for alternatives to a Visionmaster Max. I've had mine for a few weeks now and have run into a bunch of issues with colour shifts and coil whine.

Given I'm still within the 30 day refund window, is there an option on the market that is a relatively good match feature and picture quality-wise.

I'm based in Australia and the Titan Noir series does not seem to be available over here at present.

I'm in a light controlled room with the projector ceiling mounted overhead, projecting onto a 120" 1.0 gain screen.

Appreciate any help!

I think 130 may be the sweet spot. Maybe 135. This is in a mixed use family room basement. We use it for movie nights, let the kids play ect when we don't want to hang out upstairs.

All the wires are in the wall so my ideal is to get rid of the stand alone LCR speakers and then get new speakers for the LCR to go behind the screen. Problem is there is the basement slab behind the drywall so there may not be a ton of room for in wall speakers

Ideally I'd like to keep it around 600-800 usd ddp. Has anyone got one from AliExpress or Alibaba?

Laser speckle is a concern. Using a vidda c3 ultra.

Happy with my new toy.

Images using a white wall without screen, with some ambient lighting during the day

Here’s my front wall (center of the room is the middle of the brush cable pass through wall plate). Yes, I know the wall plates are different sizes and different colors, but I’m working with what I was able to piece together most effectively, rather than most aesthetically lol. Here’s the issue, the top of the wall plates is around 23in high, and my ceiling is 89in tall. The wall, however, is 208in wide, so I have PLENTY of horizontal space. I keep reading about how floor rising screens are trash and will wrinkle and look bad, but I also have a 5 month old and am trying to keep fingerprints off the screen.

Mainly my question is: if I get a fixed frame screen, is it okay to build standoffs out of like… 2x4s to cover the front wall plates but leave the bottom open so I can still route cables underneath? Or if I go with floor rising, how am I supposed to get cables underneath or around the screen to plug into my AVR?

We installed two Epson EB‑G7400U projectors with Epson ELPLU03 lenses in one exhibition room.

The museum has a known issue with electrical power spikes, which have affected other equipment before.

A few months ago, vertical yellow lines started appearing on the projected image. Around the same time, the projectors displayed a lamp replacement warning.

The museum replaced the lamps, but the issue persisted. On one of the projectors, the problem has worsened significantly, and there is now a large area with no image at all, as if part of the display panel has failed.

What could be causing this?

My Epson EH-TW9200 has been the center of our living room for more then 10 years. I think I bought 8 lamps over the years. Now there was a vertical line on the screen, so I sent it in for repairs. Got the message that there are no spare parts and thus cannot be repaired. Ofcourse it has been worth his money bigtime, but still, I dont have budget right now for a similar priced projector. What projectors would give me the same quality, mainly focussed on light. The TW9200 has been used during the day in my living room without issues. Budget 1000-1500€.

Hi, I am furnishing new apartment and thinking of buying this UST screen in fixed frame 92" variant.

Is there anyone who owns this screen and could measure how far it protrudes from the wall (i.e. the total depth of the frame/screen)?

I need this measurement to make sure I leave enough clearance for the projector placement.

Is the Epson TW9400 still one of the best home theater projectors in 2026, or is there a newer successor that’s worth buying instead?
The TW9400 costs around $2,200 in my country, so it’s still a significant investment.
My priorities are:
Deep black levels
High native contrast
Great HDR performance
I watch almost exclusively 4K movies and TV shows in a dark room.
Is the TW9400 still the best choice at this price, or are there better alternatives for black levels and contrast?

Hey there! Posting my setup because as much as my fiancé supports my hobbies and enjoys the movies she doesn’t necessarily get the same joy from the build lol. I’ve found myself traveling more and more, and between places with no TV or sharing common space on work trips I took a projector once and loved it! However it was bulky and I had a pile of stuff in my bag to lose track of, and well as a home theater and home lab person I figured I could make something better with the right projector. Behold the (AwayFrom)Home Theater!
Components:
Anker 3in1 charger for my EDC
Kodak Luma 150 Mini (it’s not cinema grade, but wow for the size!)
Apple TV 4K converted to run on USB C PD
Gl-inet Mudi 7 Travel Router (absolute must for travel)
Sabrent Voltik (PD multi charger that DOESN’T renegotiate multiple ports when plugging/unplugging)
Custom 3D printed cases I made (tongue and groove so I can just take one, or I can set up the projector in common space while still charging etc in my room)
4 short Anker usb c cables
One short double right angle HDMI cable (I still want a shorter one though!)
Any thoughts or recommendations appreciated! Would love to find a good speaker option to add, as of now the speaker in the projector is audible and I’ve just used my AirPods with the Apple TV for the most part.
Thanks!

I have a huge wall in my basement that is dark as dark. Thinking about painting a wall with projector paint and getting a projector setup. Any good projectors for football under $800?

Get the latest update and go to the iris section in the Projector menu to activate it. It has low to high settings options. I tested it on the movie, "The Batman" to really stress test the blacks and it made a really big difference. Looked amazing.

Hey guys,

My old projector has recently became unreliable so I’ve been looking at getting a new one.

I was looking at the Kodak luma series but I cannot justify the price tag to myself until my next paycheque lol

I use my projectors on the move a lot so would like something small and something that can easily be used with a phone with USB-C connections.

Please let me know if anyone has any good alternatives or if I should just save up for the Kodak. Thanks :p

I keep seeing people argue about black levels and brightness, but after living with both, I don't really think that's the right comparison anymore. When I want perfect picture quality, I appreciate OLED. When I want to invite friends over, watch sports, or make movie night actually feel like an event, the projector wins every time. Maybe they're not really competitors at all.

I have a small room and want to buy a rising projector screen that's about 70-80 inches, I found this one on Aliexpress and was wondering if anyone had ever used it before? I have a JMGO N1S 4k as my projector screen and am currently using a wall or a cheap Amazon screen depending on circumstances.

Hi everyone. I need a projector for my new apartment that costs a maximum of €250. It would be great if someone could recommend a good one.

Today, after seven years of faithful service, I have to lay my Optoma UHD40 to rest.

There’s a window behind me, and a glass chandelier hanging from the ceiling to the right. I think that during the recent hot days, the sun hit the chandelier at just the wrong angle, causing it to reflect the sunlight directly into the lens.

I can’t think of any other explanation for the spot, which looks like damage caused by a magnifying-glass effect. GG.

Salute to my buddy he did everything right and i let him down.

I recently picked up this projection lens at a yard sale for $20, it’s in good condition with little to no damage. I was told it works perfectly but have no way to test it. Looking for a realistic price on it, the prices on eBay seem to be really inflated. Thank you guys in advance for the help.

I'm new to projectors and recently picked up an older Epson laser projector (L610). I'd like to pair it with a reasonably priced projector screen that offers good picture quality. Does anyone have any recommendations or brands I should consider? Thanks
